The Oscars is the award show I always plan on watching but never actually have the time to. This year, I somehow found the time despite all of my schoolwork to sit down and watch the entire thing. And I have to say, I was not disappointed.
It supplied me with hours of entertainment and plenty of things to Snapchat my friends about.
So here are a few of my favorite moments from the Oscars that I think everyone deserves to hear about, especially if they didn't make enough time in their schedule to actually watch them.
1. Michelle Obama presenting the Best Picture Award. What? I know. Crazy. Absolutely crazy.
It would have been a tad more impressive if she had actually been at the Oscars and not just on a large screen shot live from the White House. But I suppose beggars can't be choosers.
Although it was a tad strange, I still very much appreciated it and screamed excitedly in my living room.
2. Jennifer Lawrence winning Best Actress. I don't think it's possible to dislike Jennifer Lawrence and if you do, you are cold and heartless and clearly just bitter with life because she is fantastic. Not to mention hilarious.
Her likeable personality was just increased by her amazing performance in Silver Linings Playbook and as a result she took home a well-deserved Oscar.
Now, lets add the fact that she fell up the stairs on the way to get her Oscar to this situation. Brilliant. Possibly the best moment of the entire night.
When she went to give her speech afterwards, it was obvious that she didn't know how to react except for extremely surprised and overwhelmed. She has officially won me over yet again.
3. Anne Hathaway taking home the award for Best Supporting Actress. I know there are some Hathaway haters out there but I still love her and there's no denying that she did a stupendous job in Les Miserables.
Her role was small, admittedly, but for those who missed the memo, she won Best Supporting Actress, not Best Actress.
As she said herself, it's amazing that the Princess of Genovia has come so far and done so much.
4. Every single time Django Unchained won anything.
I don't know about everyone else but I loved that movie. It was graphic and gory when it needs to be, sentimental and touching at times and extremely eye-opening.
Every time that movie won an award, I was thrilled because I can honestly say it deserved to win many, many more. It was especially great to see Guentin Tarantino win an Oscar. He was humble and yet he absolutely deserved it.
5. The dresses. It didn't matter if the dresses were horrendously ugly or drop-dead gorgeous, they were probably the most entertaining part of the night. I loved seeing what everyone decided to wear, gushing over the ones I loved and bashing the ones I disliked.
The Oscars is the one time during the year when everyone pulls out all the stops when it comes to wardrobe and I very much enjoy getting to see the results.
6. The nine-year-old Oscar nominee.
Can anyone say most adorable girl ever? Because I sure can! Let's forget for a moment that this girl is unbelievably talented and the fact that a nine year old somehow sat through the entire Oscars without making a fuss.
Her dog purse alone made her a highlight of my night.
I think it's safe to say that I will be watching the Oscars in the future every year.
I'm not quite sure how I've been missing them all of these years, but I can assure everyone, that I will not be making that mistake ever again.
