Its raining, its raining and yes it did rain at the Oscars, Sunday night but that did not dampen the spirits of the Oscars with the performances by Lady Gaga, John Legend and Common, Adam Levine and Maroon 5 and The Lonely Island (who knew that Adam Sandberg from Brooklyn Nine-Nine was part of the music group the Lonely Island, I didn't and I love their music).
The big question is did Neil Patrick Harris do as great a job as Ellen DeGeneres, probably not but he did do a great job, his opening number Moving Pictures with Anna Kendrick and Jack Black was pretty awesome and his 'seat filler' joke was also quite funny. And his locked briefcase of predictions turned out to be quite correct.
John Legend and Common's performance of Glory(which is an awesome song by the way I think you should get it if you don't ) was amazing and emotional as well as both the speeches when they won best original soundtrack which brought a few of the celebrities to tears like David Oyelowo and Chris Pine.
Lady Gaga's tribute to sound of music was beautiful and so was the ever distinguished Julie Andrews. Everything is Really Awesome as was proven to us by the really awesome and large stage production during The Lonely Island's performance of Everything Is Awesome( soundtrack for the Lego movie).
Adam Levine likes to talk about his female like voice but it totally rocked at his Oscar performance of Lost Stars.
Now to the big winners last night. Didn't I say that Julianne Moore would win for her performance in Still Alice and yes she did take the Oscar home. I also said that Birdman would win best picture over Boyhood and The Theory of Everything, but Eddie Redmayne won the Oscar for best performance for actor in a leading role as Steven Hawking continuing his roll during this award season. The Grand Budapest Hotel was on quite a roll picking up a number of Oscars.
All in all the Oscars were a blast until next year.
