So last night we watched the people's choice awards, and let me just say I was a little disappointed. And I feel my disappointment is in award shows in general nowadays and not just the people's choice. But before I list my complaints, let me say I thought Kaley Cuoco did an amazing job hosting, she is adorable. Betty White shines at 90 as she always does. And Jane Lynch cracks me up.
...but, here's my award show gripe. Today's award shows have become so much SHOW that they forget the awards. They presented maybe 12 to 15 awards in 2 hours, and tossed off the names of a few other winners, and then said "Check our website for a full list of winners" What kind of garbage is this. Too much of the show was spent on "funny bits", and a couple musical numbers (which is funny because they almost totally ignored the music categories.
So, besides all that was missing, there were a couple of stand out moments in my mind: Adam Sandler's hilarious thank you speech to his former teachers (including Mr. Pit-stains, and Mrs. old lady who died halfway through fourth grade); Morgan Freeman getting the Movie Icon Award. But the biggest surprise to me was when Chloe Grace Moretz (Hugo, KickAss, 500 Days of Summer) won for favorite actor under 25 beating out the other nominees (AKA the cast of Harry Potter). She was so cute in her acceptance speech.
Anyway, I hope the Globes and Oscars do a better job of actually presenting the awards.
