Oscars Winners; Moonlight, Fences, La La Land

First and foremost this years Oscars ceremony was one of the most just award shows in Oscar history, well in my opinion. Justin Timberlake kicked of the show with "Can't stop the feeling" off of Dream works " Trolls " soundtrack. Starting off  with light political banter, of course ended with a shocking controversial moment as the talk of night. Pulling a "Steve Harvey" when announcing the Best Motion picture award confused everyone. Originally announced as the winner was the sensational musical La La Land, but soon enough the error was recognized by the nominees. La La Land cast seen the envelope and abruptly revealed that the winner was Moonlight . BEST PICTURE “Arrival” “Fences” “Hacksaw Ridge” “Hell or High Water” “Hidden Figures” “La La Land” “Lion” “Manchester by the Sea” “Moonlight” (WINNER) ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE Casey Affleck in “Manchester by the Sea” (WINNER) Andrew Garfield in “Hacksaw Ridge” Ryan Gosling in “La La Land” Viggo M...

Celebration of the Old Heads (The Grammy Awards 2015)

Annual Grammy Yes, this was the Grammy for the past generation, not the current generation. Not discrediting any of the performances, because all of the performances were great. Performances included ACDC to open the show, Ed Sheeran, Tom Jones, Kanye West, Paul McCartney, Sam Smith, Madonna, to the uplifting ending by Beyonce, John Legend, and Common. Thumbs up to everyone on their performances, however this is in fact an older crowd, and as a musician I'm ready to see many new faces. I don't know if I'm just getting old or not, but the Grammy just seemed incredibly staged this year. Sam Smith is the highlight artist this year, because his name was everywhere when it mattered.  As for the wardrobe aspect most people looked stunning. Regardless if fans called Kim Kardashian's outfit a "bath robe," I loved it, she looked stunning and the color was perfect for her skin tone. As for Rihanna's pink cup cake dress, yeah that was awful and I hate...
