Even though the Academy Awards was a few days ago, I feel
that it’s still relevant enough to post the results for those who didn’t watch
it or simply can’t remember who won what Oscar. Billy Crystal was our host for
the night, making this his ninth time hosting the Academy Awards. I was pretty
satisfied with the winners, although I did not see some of the films that won.
Hugo, directed by Martin Scorsese, won five Oscars including best cinematography.
When a film wins an Oscar or even when an actor
wins one, their fame rises dramatically. When managing an Oscar winning actor
you must be on your feet at all time because you will have offers flying in
left and right. The best way to manage a situation like this is to pick the best
offer that will showcase what that actor or actress is actually capable of.
Over the past few years, I have felt like the Academy Awards was very, very
political. I felt like some of the films that had won over the past, only won
because they made the most money or rather, who gives the Academy most money.
