Thanks to CTV, I was able to miss the Oscars and catch up today. I have found time to watch them the last few years, and although I have watched none of the films up for awards, I did watch Elton John's biopic Rocketman on a plane sometime last year.
The jokes are pointed and necessary. There are so many cringeworthy moments, and other hilarious ones. There are so many incredibly beautiful people, doing incredibly gifted passionate work.
My favourite moment this year was Joaquin Phoenix's speech. It was overtime, and modestly delivered, and incredibly honest, and in my mind, spot on!
I am quite sure that a lot of these films are no better than others, and I am saddened by the irony that the 3 meant to speak on behalf of makeup in Bombshell, only the man spoke.
I am drawn to the stories of women. I may not have time to watch any more examples of men playing roles, and men directing films, and men writing music, and men writing more stories about men. So I will look to watch Harriet, Judy, Little Women, Bombshell, and Frozen II in the coming months.
