So I'm gonna start from the top. Best picture for 12 years a slave.
Almost seemed like a movie tailor made for the Oscars. I mean the topic (slavery) and a lot of black community issues and struggle. Anti-racism is the academy's favorite thing. Was it worth it though? Oh yeah. I saw the film on theater. It really is a tremendous film. Cruel and realistic but for me a piece of art.
Worth it: YES
Best Director, Alfonso Cuaron, Gravity.
OK. this guy. It's not like he is not good. But srsly now? Dayym!
I mean you have Alexander Payne and Steve McQueen (I wont say Scorsese and Russell because lets be honest, it wasn't for Oscar).
And you give it to Cuaron? FOR REAL NOW?
Worth it: Meh
Leading Actor - Matthew McConaughey, Dallas Buyers Club
OK so I'm personally frustrated by this result.
Why wouldn't DiCaprio get it? I Mean he even snorted Cocaine out of a hookers ass! He is the best actor of his time!
Worth it: NO (to be honest though McConaughey was spectacular)
Leading Actress - Cate Blanchett, Blue Jasmine
One of the best actresses alive. She was an absolute smash on blue Jasmine. And she is so damn beautiful too.
Worth it: Totally
Supporting Actor - Jared Leto, Dallas Buyers Club
I may not like Jared Leto. But we need to admit that this role was the role of his life. Almodovarish.
