Meryl Streep and Jean DuJardin
Please permit to discuss a couple of items before dealing with the question at hand. So I thoroughly enjoyed watching Mr. Billy Crystal, the fact that this was his ninth outing as host was irrelevant to me. Although I could not help get the impression that he was deliberately playing it safe. Perhaps the ridiculous debacle this time last year was not too far from his mind as he made every effort to offer reparations. Scoffing naysayers can rant and rave all they want, the Master of Ceremonies held his own.
Cirque du Soleil's performance's was unexpected but a brilliant treat. If you missed it please watch here at HUFFINGTON POST
Meryl Streep looked stunned as Colin Firth pronounced her the winner. I like this outstanding artist and yes, absolutely, I will concur and be the first to say that the Leading Actress category was a difficult one. Having said that, I would have preferred to see Glenn Close or Viola Davis take Oscar home.
By the way please do not bother to memorize your lines, put emotion in your words or endeavor to own your character portrayal. This is what one deduces from "The Artist". Let's switch off the sound, put the technicians and engineers out of work, sit back and enjoy the golden silence from the roaring 1920's even though it's 2012. They must view us, the movie going public as very unintelligent. Best Film, Best Director, Best Costume and Best Music Score for The Artist? Un-check, un-check, check and check! Winning Leading Actor in the midst of Demain Bichir, George Clooney, Gary Oldman and Brad Pitt? What a con - somebody is wielding too much influence in Hollywood.
Octavia Spencer and the 82 year old Christopher Plummer are worthy of their Supporting Oscars. Did you hear Meryl say that she probably wouldn't be up there again? She is only 62! Whatever.
