Oscar News!

Hello everyone!

So keeping in the fashion of the theatre on this blog we have to talk about one of the biggest things in entertainment that happened this week...

THE OSCARS!

Now we're not going to just talk about the long awaited win that Leonardo DiCaprio had, though we will talk a little about the speech that he gave. We're going to just touch briefly about what was written in this article by the Nytime.

One of the things that almost everyone that hasn't been living under a rock for the beginning of 2016 is that this has been the second year in a row that the Oscars was "white washed". Many people say that it's because The Academy that chose them are old white men that need to get with the times, others because there just weren't any good actors that were of color. I personally have no opinion on the subject because I am friends with many the outspoken on everything persons and heard both sides. And after that "pleasure" I've learned not to have an opinion. It ruins lives.

What I will talk about though is how Chris Rock stole the entire show! Between his amazing opening monologue and commentary that left no stone un-turned  he was fantastic from beginning to end.





I know I said I wasn't just going to talk about Leo DiCaprio, but I might spend a little more time on him. Everyone has been waiting for years and years for him to win this award, but I have to admit that I was waiting for his speech. He did it with so much grace, no bitterness about how long it took for this to happen, but instead thanked everyone present and past. Then, used the last half of his speech to talk about the very real problem of climate change. The fact that he used this special, long awaited time to talk about the disgusting fact that the film crew and him having to go to one of the southern tips of the world just to find snow shows how mature he has become.
