ALL FASHION AND PR MAJORS!
The Academy Awards presents
THE OSCARS
(Photo Left: Me with an Oscar Award)
Last week in promotion and preparation to the Academy Awards Oscar night they had an event in NYC. I arrived around 1 in the afternoon to the set up. The event was sponsored by long time association with the Academy - KODAK. All Fashion majors know what is seen and worn on the red carpet of the big night is a huge deal to those celebrities, it could possible make or break their careers.
As I took glances at the actual Oscar award statues I made sure to read the side descriptions of each. The real award that was given to Judy Garland was on display in a beautiful glass display as well. It really was quiet something to see and experience.
" Kodak is very proud to join the Academy in paying tribute to the artistry and creativity of the motion picture industry - and the amazing work that has kept us laughing, crying and cheering through out the years. We congratulate all of this year's Academy Award nominees for their extraordinary achievements."
The actual award show was last night (Sunday, March 7th on the ABC Network). I was rooting for the movie "Precious" to win some awards. It was a touching movie to watch! I will most likely do a blog on that movie soon in relation to a few things. The supporting actress was very well known and liked comedian Mo'nique who had received a Oscar last night for that movie. Seeing her play such a serious role was shocking and very intriguing. The award for Best Female Actress went to Sandra Bullock for her performance in "The Blind Side." I am yet to see that movie but her speech was both funny and heartfelt. She thanked her mother whom she noted that she apologizes that she had never thanked before when she in the past has won awards. Her mother had past away and this was her moment of glory. It was very touching also when she thanked all the mothers who take in and take care and love the children who are not biologically theirs. It was so sweet. (It was also in relation to her role in the movie where she plays a real life mother hero taking care of someone who isn't her child.)
"While accepting her award, an emotional Bullock thanked "what this film was about for me, which are the moms that take care of the babies and the children no matter where they come from."
Here are some Fun Facts!
* Over the 82 year history of the Academy Awards the majority of OSCAR winning movies have been created using KODAK motion picture film.
*KODAK has earned 8 OSCARS from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.
* Since it was built in 2001 the KODAK Theatre is considered the offical home of the OSCAR AWARDS.
CONGRATS TO ALL THE WINNERS LAST NIGHT!
Everyone looked stunning!
