The night
we all were waiting for finally came to reality last night, as expected the
show was amazing, host Ellen Degeneres knocked it of the park, show was really
funny and easy going and it kept the audience captivated effortlessly. Ellen proves
she is not only a humanitarian and good hearted person how gives back to the
community but also that she is certainly the best at what she does.
There were
many moments in which she made the audience in the theater and us at home part
of the show like the pizza delivery moment, and of course the unforgettable
selfie moment which broke the record for most retweeted picture ever and also
most favorite tweet in history, a record that will be held for a very long time
since it will be a very hard one to top.

There were
many musical performances, each one representing the nominated films, we saw
Pharrell sing his hit single “Happy”, a performance of the winner for Best
Original Song from the movie “Frozen” of the song “Let it Go” , my personal
favorite “Flying On The Moon” from the Best Screenplay Winner movie “Her”. And
of course the much talked about tribute to the 75th anniversary of
“The Wizard Of Oz”. P!nk was the chosen one to help the academy pay tribute to
this great film that’s part of our culture, she took the stage and blew everyone away with a spectacular performance, her voice was inpecable. she wore a beautiful re sequined Elie Saab dress.

U2 also took the stage to the
rhythm of “Ordinary Love” nominated for best song for the film “Mandela”
Now for the
winners, to start of the night beautiful Anne Hathaway presented Jared Leto
with the Oscar for Best Male Actor in a Supporting Role, a much deserved award
for his portrayal of “Ryon” in “Dallas Buyers Club” Jared gave a beautiful
speech that made many teary eyed and some I’m sure it even brought them to
tears, in his speech he thanked his mother for her bravery and support along
his life and career and his brother for his love, friendship and support. Bravo Jared, Bravo!

Later on
Lupita Nyong’o took the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in “12
Years a Slave”. There was no surprise here; everybody knew she was going to win
the award. She also gave a very eloquent and emotional speech, in which she
thanked the many people who have helped her get her career into place.

To my
surprise “Gravity” took many awards during the show, including Visual Effects,
Cinematography, Best Editing, and at least 3 other awards, I stopped counting,
lest just say I was not in sync with the academy members on many of those…
Alfonzo Cuaron also won the Oscar for Best Directing.
“The Great
Gatsby” took the Oscar for Best Production Design, a well deserved award for
the costume designers Catherine Martin and Beverly Dunn.
“12 Years a
Slave” took the Oscars for Best Adapted Screenplay and the big award of the
night Best Movie of the Year.
To my
pleasant surprise “Her” took the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay written by
Spike Jonze.

Best
Actress in a Leading Role Oscar was again taken from Meryl Streep’s hands this
year by a much, much more deserving actress, Cate Blanchett, for her
magnificent role in Blue Jasmine, a surprise, since all pointed out that Sandra
Bullock was going to take the Oscar home, but gladly Cate did, and with it she
gave a very candid speech from which I would like to take out one line “The
World is Round People” you’ll have to watch the speech for yourselves for it to
make sense. Congratulations to Cate Blanchett.

The much
awaited Oscar for Best Male Actor in a Supporting Role (I dare say this year
this category was much more awaited then Best Movie) which was a battle between
Leonardo Dicaprio and Matthew McConaughey alone (no offence to all the other
actors) was finally won by Matthew who took the Oscar home and gave a very
motivational speech as he took it. Sorry Leo, yours is coming!

Let’s talk
fashion now. First off, the boys, for a change.
White was
the color for many this year, I’m talking about Oscar winners Jared Leto who
looked dazzling in a white Saint Laurent tuxedo paired with a burgundy bow tie
and his distinctive ombre locks, and Matthew McConaughey who also sported a
white tuxedo pair up with a black vest and matching bow tie.

Others opted
for a classic look, and honestly the all classic black tuxedo never hurts
anybody. although Zac's might need a little tailoring...

Some were a
little more daring and choose differently from the color paled. Kevin Spacey
went in a very youthful deep blue Burberry Tux.

It was
Pharrell who might’ve been a little to daring for the Oscars in a cut off
tuxedo which was knee length, I personally liked it, I’ve always wanted to see
something like this on a red carpet, but this would have been more appropriate
at the Grammys.
As for the
girls I must say I was a little disappointed I was expecting big gorgeous
gowns, but they kept it very simple and chic.
