Academy Awards

I went to the Alamo Drafthouse last night with Sara and her friend Jeannie to watch their presentation of the Academy Awards. It was pretty cool and totally random things happened during the ceremony. There were a few good moments like when Gael Garcia Bernal made one of the first anti-war comments:


Early into Sunday’s Oscar show, best supporting actor winner Cooper signed off his speech with a brief wish for peace, while Mexican actor Garcia Bernal said: “The necessity for peace in this world is not a dream but a reality. And we are not alone. If Frida (Kahlo) was alive, she would be on our side against war.”

All in all, it was an interesting experience seeing how celebrities deal with current events and likewise how that is received by their peers.
