Hollywood’s glitziest gala night filled with “golden man” trophies, A-list stars, beautiful gowns, and dapper suits just happen moments ago at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Yes, you know the one. The 85th annual Academy Awards aka the 2013 Oscars. Since last month, the Oscars buzz has been, well, buzzin’ – with predictions and anticipation leading to the actual event.
Especially after the official announcement of this year’s nominees.
The night opened with great performances by Seth MacFarlane, Channing Tatum, Charlize Theron, Harry Potter Daniel Radcliffe, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. So old Hollywood, it was hard not to love! What were the other epic moments? Well, for starters, this year’s Oscars was very much a huge musical event, with live performances from Catherine Zeta Jones, the entire Les Miserables cast, Adele, and a special appearance from Christopher Plummer aka Captain Von Trapp from “The Sound of Music”.
We simply can’t shake the fact that even Ted (as in the bear) turned up to present an award. Oh, what?
As for the award, let’s see, there was that tie for “Best Sound Editing“, which went to both “Skyfall” and “Zero Dark Thirty”. And then there was Adele‘s first ever Oscars performance when she took the stage to sing “Skyfall” – she later won the “Best Original Song” award for it. Yes, Adele is also an Oscar winner now!
Also, the Oscars took a turn when Michelle Obama was called to present the nominees for “Best Picture”, leaving viewers like us in surprise. How cool was that?
