The reason I didn't watch something OnDemand or on Netflix, or hell, read a book or something, was because this year, I really cared about who won. As someone who lives with bipolar disorder, I absolutely loved Silver Linings Playbook (SLP), which Hubs and I saw just this past Saturday. I finished reading the book last week (you can read my review here), which I also loved but is very different from the movie. Both are awesome in different ways.
I cheered like the Hawks just scored a goal when Jennifer Lawrence won Best Actress. She rocked her role (see how I did that?) in SLP. Although, just so you know, not everyone who lives with depression wears black a lot. Also, not everyone who has bipolar disorder screams and yells when they're upset, like Bradley Cooper's character in the movie -- well, ok, maybe I did some of that myself last night because I finally showered and washed my hair after a week. Although it felt good, when I stepped out I didn't want to want to dry myself; I just wanted to be done. I wished that some magical force would dry me so I could just put on fresh pajamas. It sounds like such a simple thing to do, to towel yourself dry, but right now I'm having a tough time. Anyway, I managed, so go me!

Argo won Best Picture, but I was ok with that. Hubs and I watched that OnDemand Friday night and it. Was. Awesome. But ok, yeah, I was a little disappointed that SLP didn't win.
Finally, I don't care what anyone says about Mrs. Cooper's shoes, but if I had a son who was up for Best Actor and brought me as his date, I'd wear whatever the hell shoes I want. So suck it! ;-)
Ha! Her shoes are awesome! I totally want to see SLP; it sounds really good. But then, any grown-up movie sounds really good to me these days. ;)
ReplyDeleteI totally understand. But if you go on a date night.... :-)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen SLP yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteIt's so good! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
ReplyDeleteI love her shoes!! They're adorable!! That would be so romantic if they both had won! But still, go Jennifer Lawrence!!
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm glad I'm not the only who thinks it would have been romantic if they both won. :-) But yeah, go Katniss! lol
ReplyDeleteI love her shoes! And hey, when your kid gets nominated for an Oscar, that should give you the right to wear whatever shoes you want :)
ReplyDeleteHa! Right? When Spielberg brings you as his date one day, you should wear whatever you want, too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI thought Bradley Cooper and his mom were so cute. I love it when actors bring their moms as their "dates". I haven't seen SLP yet either, but plan to.
ReplyDeleteI agree. If one of my kids takes me to an awards show I can wear whatever damn shoes I want. I did not watch the awards. As someone who has a hard time making it through a 30 minute sitcom, awards shows just aren't going to happen. I did watch a bit of The Untouchables. Not enough to follow the story, just enough to sigh over Sean Connery.
ReplyDeleteI don't watch award shows as my patience left me a long time ago and find a lot of negative stuff going on and I can't stay awake as I get up before the chickens. Funny thing, my hubby is an actor (local theatre) and i never get to the movies. Kid you not. He don't like going to theaters with people chatting, phones going off etc. Eventually I will see these on Netflix. I think his mom looks adorable, and her shoes are a self expression! I saw some of the "dresses" or lack there of on the recaps, and to me, she is his mom out with her son, she should be comfy and enjoy the special night. Have a great night!
ReplyDeleteMe too! SLP is definitely worth seeing!
ReplyDeleteExactly! Though I'm a fan of TV and movies, I don't like sitting through awards shows, either. This was definitely a fluke! I love The Untouchables! For the story and Sean Connery lol
ReplyDeleteI don't normally watch them either because they're so dragged out and boring until the very, very end. Hubs and I saw Girl with the Dragon Tattoo when it came out a few Christmases ago, and the couple behind us would not. shut. up. It was really annoying! Still, I do like going out to see movies when we can.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you -- I think his mom looks adorable, too! And good for her for wearing what she wanted!
I didn't watch the Oscars but I also haven't seen any of the movies that were up for awards. I am looking forward to seeing a few fo them at some point. I hate when you get out of the shower and there is still so much to do.
ReplyDeleteI don't normally watch the Oscars or other awards shows, but I do try to see the movies that are nominated for Best Picture. I think Hubs and I will be watching Flight on cable this Friday night. :-)
