Oscars are like Hollywood's prom. If you're an Oscar contender, it's a wonderful day to relax, dress up, and pat yourself in the back and say, "Congrats! You did it last year." Or, if you’re like me, holding a bowl of nachos and screaming at the TV. Yesterday's event, unlike many other Oscars in the past, was highly anticipated because not only did we have some well-known actors whose careers were on the line, we also had a possibility to make history.

And history we did make! Yesterday, on International Women's Day, we cheered for Kathryn Bigelow, the first woman to win the best director award in the Oscars' 82-year history! Bigelow's movie "The Hurt Locker" also beat "Avatar" for best picture!

Another popular movie last night was "Crazy Heart", which was the lucky charm for Jeff Bridges, who won actor in leading role, beating out George Clooney "Up In the Air", Colin Firth "A Single Man", Morgan Freeman "Invictus", and Jeremy Renner "The Hurt Locker". My bets were on Brediges and Renner. Bridges had a fairly decent chance at the Academy because Hollywood loves to honor careers. It just may be the 61-year-old Bridges' last chance to be honored. Just as much as the Academy loves honoring careers, they also love a good Cinderella story, like Renner's. 2009 has been an interesting rollercoaster for him, as his ABC show "The Unusual" got cancelled and "The Hurt Locker" film thrived. George Clooney, on the other hand, must have been the most disappointed man of the night. He really needed an Oscar to secure his career amongst the Hollywood elites. He walked away with another “It’s just an honor to be nominated” speech.

Christoph Waltz of “Inglourious Basterds” won actor in supporting role, beating Matt Damon of "Invictus", Woody Harrelson "The Messenger", Christopher Plummer "The Last Station", Stanley Tucci "The Lovely Bones". I was surprised that Matt Damon did not stand a chance with a good movie like “Invictus”, as Clint Eastwood is usually an actor’s ticket to that trophy. Maybe his accent killed it. Woody Harrelson also had a pretty fair chance. Remember I mentioned how the Academy loves to give career-gifts? Harrelson is 81^st years and last night was his first time nominated last night.

Sandra Bullock, who looked like a walking trophy on the red carpet, swept away the award for actress in a leading role with the movie “Blind Side”. Julia Roberts must be pretty upset because Sandra’s role was offered to her first but she turned it down. “The Blind Side” also generated 241.7 million dollars domestically, making Sandra the highest grossing actress in a lead role. Another actress the audience really had their eyes on is Gabourey of “Prescious”. The movie is Gabourney Sidibe’s first acting role and Academy loves taking chances with new actors. Meryl Streep also had a decent chance with “Julie & Julia”. Although she’s the most Oscar-nominated actress, 16 times so far, she hasn’t won since 1982.

Mo’Nique won actress in supporting role for her role in “Precious”! That was not a surprise to me, as her performance was not only strong and heart-felt in the movie but also contrasts her every day, comedienne self. There’s a real and empowering quality I love about Mo’Nique, maybe it’s her unshaven legs. Whatever the quality is, Mo’Nique beat Anna Kendrick “Up In The Air”, Maggie Gyllenhaal “Up In The Air”, Vera Farmiga “Crazy Heart”, and Penelope Cruz “Nine”. Wait, didn’t Penelope Cruz already win an Oscar last year for the exact same role in “Vicky Barcelona”? And is everyone in Twilight out-careering Robert Pattinson? Anna Kendrick is the first one of the bunch to be nominated for an Oscar!

Check out this amazing mock trailer of "Alice In Wonderland" starring Lady Gaga! I think it might actually be more interesting than actual one. Has any of you seen the movie yet?
