The Most Notable Moments From The Oscars

I think we can all agree that The Oscars is the biggest awards show for film. Although, this year seemed to be a little less about the entertainment and a little more about politics. Actors, producers, and writers alike addressed important matters such as diversity, gender equality, and climate change. Their political agendas did not make it any less exciting, though, so without further ado here are some Oscar highlights in case you missed it, or you just really like to reminisce.

And the winner is ...

"Mad Max," again, for: Sound Mixing, Sound Editing, Production Design, Makeup and Hairstyling, Film Editing and Costume Design.

"Mad Max" won a total of six categories at this year's Oscars. #winning

Andy Serkis takes a jab at Donald Trump before announcing the winner for best visual effects. He started his speech with, "Visual effects can make a person into anything ranging from a maniacal monster out to destroy a planet or into Donald Trump, although I guess that's not very diverse."

Chris Rock brought out his daughter and her Girl Scout troop to sell cookies. They raised $65,243.

Come back next year to see me selling high-fives to raise money for my tuition.

"Inside Out" won Best Animated Feature Film. It is "Toy Story's" 20th anniversary, and the Pixar crew had the best thing to say: "We're the luckiest people in the world because we get to make stuff."

Joe Biden showed up and because of the five minutes of a standing ovation, and I think we can all assume that most people in the film industry are Democrats.

And finally, Leo won an Oscar ... only took 25 years of acting.

In all seriousness, all of those involved in The Oscars who tried to bring awareness to current issues deserve some credit in sharing their 45 seconds devoted to making the world a better place. It may have seemed like two hours driven by political agenda, but there are at least 30 million of us still willing to watch.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
