AND THE OSCAR FOR THE BEST HOST GOES TO ... HUGH JACKMAN
Today was the 81 Oscars ceremony in Hollywood, so before making our way to Trent & David's new place for an Oscar Party, I have snapped a couple of pictures from our place and you could tell that the red carpet was busy by the number of helicopters out there.
Alek and I have been watching the Oscars for so many years. Alek used to keep me awake in Paris until 6am to watch the entire ceremony (which I hated because of the voice-over by French anchors 'personalities' who had nothing to say and kept on ruining the real speeches live from Hollywood).
When it was announced that Hugh Jackman would host the 2009 Oscars I knew a wind of change was coming to Hollywood. Thanx to producer Laurence Marks, and director Bill Condon for bringing to us the best Oscar ceremony ever!
The opening of the ceremony was absolutely incredible, if you haven't seen it yet you can watch it below.
It is hard to entertain everybody for over 3 hours! But this year was far from boring, in fact it was the perfect blend of glamorous and classy-classic Hollywood. The stage, the lights, the performances, the presentation of nominations, ... it was all incredible. We also really liked the Original Screenplay presentation!
A huge thanks goes to Hugh Jackman for being so good and so damn sexy ! We all agreed that we want him to present the Oscars next year under the direction of Laurence Marks (below left) and Bill Condon (below right).
In our special gallery below enjoy some of our favorite moments of the 2009 Oscars. Including Zac Efron wardrobe-malfunction due to an extensive bending, Brad Pitt bling bling ring (I want the same), and more...
