Well, the Oscars this year in general did not disappoint, however I have a few broad hopes for the future ;) First of all, I'm sick of the fact that the Oscars take place in Hollywood every year, with no celebrity follow up in the city that never sleeps? I for one would like the celebrity winners to be invited to a post-Oscar bash in New York, so us 'New Yoka's' can enjoy the scene. I mean, the Oscars are supposed to support the intellectual, well written, directed, acted, designed movies, not the Confessions of a Shopaholic MTV awards. So, They should really have an after Oscar-party in NYC since we are the theatre hub of America. Can anyone say, Broadway? As an intellectual epi-center, I vote to propose a New York After Oscar Special. The fun should end in our town, on our side of the country.
My second observation has to do with Mr. Sean Penn. Although I predicted he would win the Best Male Actor Award, I don't think he deserved it. I was rooting for The Visitor star, Richard Jenkins or Frost/Nixon's, Frank Langella. But, Penn's character was so outlandish and passionate by the nature of the movie, I knew he'd snag it some how. Now, on a completely different note, I'm going to be brutally honest. Last night I realized my intense infatuation with Sean Penn. I think he's probably sort of a jerk, but I'm officially obsessed and I realized how badly I want to meet this guy. Even if you dislike him for his political actions/statements, you have to admit he is sort of a fascinating guy. That lackadaisical expression, the frantic hair, the I'm too cool attitude permanently plastered on his face, his general bad boy appeal is so infatuating, and that's precisely why I'm hooked. And just like that, I'm out for tonight folks, stay tuned next time, because in order to know it all, you've gotta' know me. -The Know it all New Yorker-
