The Oscars. The Academy Awards. Film’s biggest night.
Whatever you call it, it’s a pretty big deal. Hollywood’s biggest movie actors
were all there, decked out in the finest from Givenchy to Gucci and Prada to
Posen. Ellen hosted, ordered pizza, took some “average” selfies, and you know
just kinda BROKE TWITTER (no really she did). It was the most watched Oscars
telecast since 2005, and the most watched Entertainment program since the
“Friends” finale… why you ask? Let’s recap the 2014 Academy Awards.
Portia De Rossi looked flawless in this Naeem
Khan ivory lace gown. The halter-top and detailed lace made the dress uber
fabulous and feminine. Even though she is best known simply for being Ellen DeGeneres’
wife, she has a style all of her own. Even though Portia, an actress herself,
was not nominated that night, she definitely looked Oscar worthy.
Humanitarians by day, hot couple by
night! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie looked stunning as a pair on the red
carpet. Angelina looked gorgeous in an Elie Saab Haute Couture gown, along with
42 carat diamond earrings. Brad looked dapper in his Tom Ford tux and bow tie. Brangelina strikes again!
Best acceptance speech:
Two speeches definitely stood out among the rest at the show on Sunday. Jared Leto won best supporting actor
for his role in Dallas Buyers Club and gave an inspiring speech, thanking his
mom and brother and saying “those of you out there who have ever felt injustice
because of who you are or who you love, tonight I stand here in front of the
world with you and for you.” Such kind words from a newcomer to the Oscars
stage. Speaking of newcomers, Lupita Nyong'o, who won best supporting actress
for her role in 12 Years a Slave (which snagged best picture) also had some
uplifting words for the crowd… and the world. "No matter where you're
from, your dreams are valid."
If there was a Beyoncé of selfies, this
would be it. Ellen rounded up her favorite celebs to take a star-studded
selfie. Smiles galore, the pic was complete with actors Jennifer Lawrence,
Channing Tatum, Julia Roberts, and more. Ellen posted the picture to Twitter
with the caption “If only Bradley’s arm was longer. Best picture ever. #oscars”
The selfie got over 2 million retweets in the first hour of being posted, the
most retweets ever of any tweet! Ellen claims that the pic “broke Twitter”,
which is actually somewhat true, as the site shut down for a few minutes after
it was posted. Go Ellen and her selfie of the century!
John Travolta,
in all his plastic faced glory, was ready and excited to introduce Idina Menzel
for her performance of “Let It Go” from the animated feature Frozen. But
instead of saying her actual name, the only thing he could get out was Adele
Dazeem. Seriously? ADELE DAZEEM?! You could almost hear the entire globe
simultaneously sigh/hysterically laugh.
Oh and there was pizza… plenty of it. Ellen ordered some for
the crowd, and hilarity ensued. Jennifer scarfed down her piece, Leonardo was too
nervous to find out the results of his Oscar nom that he simply had no time for
food, and Jared was of course a gentleman and gave his slice to his adoring
mother. All Jared Leto cares about is school, and his mom, and his friends…
well mostly his mom.
That wraps up the #TeenLinkNeedToKnowAwardShow 2014 Oscars recap! I hope you enjoyed! Thanks for reading!
