The most expected night of the year so far, was finally over. This year, Oscars had a huge viewer-ship in the past 5 years. It's all good right? Well, I was not even interested that much in Oscars this year, because I was sure Avatar is going to sweep away almost everything and I was pretty sure that I will be disappointed. But it was back to back surprises with the final moment of glory crowned to Kathryn Bigelow and The Hurt Locker. At that moment, I realized Academy redeemed itself from the populist titles in the nominees, pulling teen favorites as presenters and whatever changes made to increase the audience strength. I almost went "this is frikin awesome!". And I also realized Avatar was no way closer to The Hurt Locker in the final race. I bet, either Basterds, Precious or Up In The Air were more closer to the Locker.
Well the show was kinda boring. I liked the Steve Martin and Baldwin's Paranormal Activity skit. Rest of the skits, presentations just flew by with no impact whatsoever. It was painful to see Farrah Fawcett left out of In Memoriam.
The true moment of the show was, Barbara Streisand looking at Bigelow and announcing "The time has come." and I kinda liked Bigelow's speech, though she was trembling in surprise. That was nice!
And finally we can say, it was The Hurt Locker's night and the small movie made its way all the way to glory, finishing the underdog story with pure simplicity.
