Sunday Night at the Oscars

After taking a film class in high school, I became hooked on films, both the box office hits and the independent ones.  Although time for watching films is rare I still love watching movies when I can.  Of course one of the most important aspects and features of the movies are the Oscars.  If you can win an Oscar you've moved from the large pool of "actors" and leaped to the "Oscar acting caliber" category.  My friend Alison and I decided to host an Oscar party so we could watch the Oscars and take a much deserved study break.

Once Alison and I decided to host a little shindig, we made pretty invitations which we placed in our friends' mailboxes and the requirement of our party was a beautiful dress was required just like the actresses wear beautiful dresses for the event.



















The party started out with us salivating over the many dresses; our favorites belonging to Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway, and Halle Berry.  Once the Oscars started we were kept entertained by Anne and Jame's antics and skits as well as Anne's multitude of dress changes.  Throughout the awards presentation there didn't seem to be any big surprises in terms of who won what.  Colin Firth won Best Actor as he should and the King's Speech took home best film.  Toy Story 3 won best original song and we reminisced on seeing Toy Story 3, a movie that coincided perfectly with our own life (we were leaving for college just like Andy).  We were sad once the night was over and now I really want to see both King's Speech and Black Swan (Spring Break adventures perhaps). My last weekend at Coe before Spring Break was probably the best one yet.
