The Oscars Night
One of the most awaited cinematic extravaganzas of the year, and undoubtedly the most glamorous and dignified one is Oscars where the onscreen fantasies seem a grazing reality. The 84th Academy Awards took place in its full glory at Kodak Theatre, Los Angeles lately.The stars came in droves, where men were in their black tuxedos and women in elaborate designer gowns, walking the red carpet, holding hands, kissing and posing for shutterbugs. On stage was Billy Crystal throwing his famous jocular volleys, and interesting film montages taking all and sundry by awe. But it was Angelina Jolie’s thigh show, her subsequent mockery and Jennifer Lopez’s dress slip which stole the awards night away.
Meanwhile, the silence of French movie, ‘The Artist’ screamed loud enough and it ended up bagging the coveted statuettes for Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Director, where the latter two were Jean Dujardin and Michel Hazanivicius, respectively. On the other hand, Meryl Streep held her third Oscars for Best Actress this time for her portrayal of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in ‘The Iron Lady’.
Well, few those who attended the award ceremony, apart from the ones mentioned above were George Clooney, Cameron Diaz, Brad Pitt, Woody Allen, Gwyneth Paltrow, Octavia Spencer and Sacha Baron amongst others.
