Why Is Nobody Talking About Auli'i Cravalho's Oscar Performance?

There needs to be less talk about the mistake, and more talk about our next big star.

Why Is Nobody Talking About Auli'i Cravalho's Oscar Performance?

The Oscars is one of the most important nights in Hollywood. Red carpets, designer dresses, and tons of talented actors fill the Dolby Theater. Once the Oscars happen, it is all the talk for days and this year was no different, except, it was all the talk for a different reason.

The Best Motion Picture category was a bit of a messy situation this year. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were announcing the category when they said that La La Land was the winner. Those involved with that movie came up and 2 minutes into their speech, they learned that Moonlight had actually won. In good spirits, they called those involved with Moonlight to the stage and that was it. But not for the media. Media platforms were blowing up with this mistake. It has been the talk since Sunday. While other events from the night are being highlighted, there is one performance that no-one seems to be talking about.

That performance is of 16-year-old Auli'i Cravalho, the voice of Moana. She performed the hit "How Far I'll Go" from the movie and it was amazing. Lin Manuel-Miranda led the performance with a rap. The young girl took it from there and blew everyone away by storm. Despite a minor bump on the head from one of the props, Auli'i was on cloud 9.


Auli'i is definitely the next big thing. Her smile, personality, and talent definitely set her apart from the rest. There needs to be less talk about the mistake, and more talk about our next big star.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
