Oscar moments

I had other thoughts, but it's been so long now that these will have to do.

1) I felt so bad for everyone involved in the whole Best Picture fiasco. It's hard for the LaLa Land people who had to give their Oscars back, and it's sad that the Moonlight people didn't really get their moment. And then Warren Beatty gets blamed, when he had been handed the wrong envelope, and Faye Dunaway has to feel bad for reading it as she saw it.
But in the midst of all that chaos, the director of LaLa Land stood out as gracious and humble. It shouldn't have made as big of an impact as it did. We should be able to expect that of people. But we don't right now. This article summed it up well.

2) Someday I want Denzel to officiate my wedding. He's Denzel, so it's legal.

3) The celebrities got candy dropped on them. No one every drops candy on me. 

4) Sting always sings the most boring songs in the world.

5) And my favorite moment from the red carpet - All I saw was him closing the door to the car after getting a high five from a person with short little legs sticking out from a pretty flowered dress. So cute. :)

One of my friends has a crush on Jeremy Renner; I'm sure I've showed her this, but maybe I haven't, in which case I should!

I will have to remember that you've never had candy dropped over your head!

Oh, my word, those tourists!! With their cameras! Hahaha. Except I didn't see the mock ceremony in that video, did I? It just looked like he came up to meet them. That was so funny though, "That man right there." :) What an experience.

Ooh, OK, it says it in the description. Must've been fast enough that I missed the most important line. :)
