82nd Annual Academy Awards
The 82nd annual Academy Awards are a wrap. All in all it was an interesting evening. George Clooney seemed to have a never ending attitude that could not be soothed. The costume design winner did not appreciate her win and her crap of an acceptance speech was laughable. Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin proved to be quite the pair as the hosts of this year’s show. Despite Martin & Baldwin’s multiple jokes I found the show stopper to be Ben Stiller’s “Avatar” impersonation. In the end JoReviews tallied 15 out of the 24 winners correctly.
