Jacksjargon is calling for a special independent council investigation of all things related to the Academy Award show Sunday night. It was sad and yet hilarious to watch these liberals, socialists, so called progressives and communists (yes from the black lists until today they still are a part of the Hollywood community) gag on one of the all time screw ups in any award show history. President Trump, scorned throughout the night, gets the last laugh on these millionaire celebrities who arrogantly preach to American’s at every chance and yet have no clue as to how our economy works let alone how America created the highest standard of living the world has ever known.
By now you likely have seen or know about the major award of any Oscar night, the best picture award, was wrongly named. After the cast of La La Land are all standing on stage glowing in receiving their best picture award when suddenly the entire Hollywood community got major egg on all their faces. Actor Warren Beatty announced the wrong film as best picture. it was Moonlight, not La La Land as best picture this year. Beatty had been handed the wrong envelope. Best picture is always the final and most special Oscar of the night. This one will go down as the worst screw up imaginable for any award show, let alone thee most major of all award shows. Maybe think of it as a well deserved pay back for their preaching arrogance throughout the years. President Trump and family must have got a major hoot from it.
Up until then, the laborious three and a half hour live show was more entertaining than usual. Some bullet points. Jimmy Kimmel as host grilled the President, but in general was loose, funny, creative and at the top of his game. To his credit, even with the abundance of jokes of President Trump, he never showed malice and kept the mood light hearted. Actually, the entire night was very well produced with some clever comedy innovative happenings that kept the celebs enjoying themselves prior to disaster striking.
From the beginning with a really well choreographed opening song and dance by Justine Timberlake and ensemble through a wonderful acceptance speech from Best Supporting actress Viola Davis, a tear jerker for many, to a hilarious con job on unsuspecting tourists, it was a really well produced. Whoever produced it should do it every year. Definitely moved right along without an abundance of the same old Hollywood celeb’s spouting their usual leftist nonsense. No mouthy Meryl Streep this night. It seemed like the Academy wanted no more offensive political mutterings that offended millions during the Golden Globes award show. Kimmel did a funny bit showing his tweet to President Trump awaiting a retweet from the President that never was returned. Amidst a comical twice droppings from above came candy floating down on the surprised celebrity stars like tiny parachutes. Then came the donuts as Kimmel was saying the celebs were probably getting hungry. “Next comes the coffee” said Kimmel. And an absolute hilarious bit played on tourists leaving their Hollywood tour bus thinking they were entering a whatever only to find they were walking onto the front row of the live Oscar show. Aghast for some. Others, incredibly, enjoyed themselves with Denzel Washington performing a make believe wedding ceremony for two newly weds. Selfees endlessly going full blast. One guy unabashed kissing the hand of Meryl Streep. Kimmel asked the stars if they could pass on a souvenir to one couple and Jenifer Anniston donated her sunglasses to a shocked Afro American lady who truly appeared in a daze. Kimmel asked her for her favorite actor. Denzel Washington not a surprise choice. Ryan Gosling got into the act posing with two other shocked tourists. Hilarious, live television in what normally is a staid, often boring, Oscar night show. Not this show for sure. Just plain tourists having fun and in return the celebrity stars truly enjoying themselves. A creative produced gem of the night.
Fashion comments? Not jacks jargon’s thing. However, obviously it was a glittery gown night. Most looked quite good except for best actress award winner Emma Stone wearing a layered gown too lightly colored with her very light colored skin. Of the men, Ryan Gosling stood out with a contemporary version of an old fashioned tux complete with a larger bow tie and a handsome black striped tux shirt. Gorgeous Charlize Theron was un gorgeous with an ill suited hair style. Still can’t forget her short hair style previously that made her the talk of the town at post Oscar parties previously.
Most minor of minor observations. On the Red Carpet pre show interviews, best actor award winner Casey Affleck, still wearing a hideous beard in prep for a film still in the making, said “I know it’s not a nice look.” But more or less said he had no choice. it was good to hear him salute his brother Ben with a nice moment. One he missed at the Golden Globe Awards. Casey Affleck brought tears to the eyes of Denzel Washington when he said it was Washington who taught him how to act even though he first met him that night.
And it was nice to see the pairings of award presenters…Gosling with Emma Stone…Ben Affleck again with pal Matt Damen….Charlize with Shirley McLaine….the “Bonnie and Clyde” team of Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty until the ill fated catastrophe. I was pulling for Walter Matthau and Jack Lemon to come out soon….but, of another era as jacksjargon’s age is showing regrettably.
Stay tuned next for President Trump’s speaking to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night. The press knifes will be out post speech and Wednesday morning, but best bet is our new President will pleasantly surprise a lot of people. Good guess his popularity might get a bump up a bit.
