Post-Oscars reflection

All in all, I was really pleased with the Oscars. For the most part my predicitons were right, and for one of the two times I was wrong, I was really okay with it. That one time would be when Marion Cotillard won for La Vie En Rose. Not only did she deserve it, but she is:

a. gorgeous 

and

b. mad good at giving acceptance speeches

"Thank you life, thank you love, and it is true, there is some angels in this city"

Most of all, I love that her chances of winning were so small. The Oscars can be very predictable (look no further than my predictions below) and it is too often the same movie takes all the awards. 

So, judging by what I just said, one would think I'm just over the fucking moon about Tilda Swinton. WRONG! I admit, I did not see Michael Clayton, so I am in no position to judge this win. However, Tilda Swinton did not come to the Oscars to win (exhibit A: top right, where Tilda was photographed wearing the ugliest dress known to me, aka a glorified garbage bag with ONE lone sleeve). 

I am especially bitter because Cate Blanchett portrayed a DUDE (aka Hill Clint) and did not win SHIT!  Girlfriend got herself together and she is even WITH child, something Tilda is not. Cate was obviously not going to win for Elizabeth: The Golden Age, and it was only fair that she win something. By process of elimination, she should've nabbed Best Supporting Actress. (Not to mention she actually did a good job but who is really thinking about her performance...)

On a slightly different note, is Tilda short for Ma-Tilda?
