Oscar Night!

It’s Oscar night! One of my favourite nights of the year for absolutely no reason! Except that I love miovies, I love fancy dresses, and I love seeing movie stars in fancy dresses.

In past years I’ve tried to watch all the Best Picture nominees (even the tedious Tree of Life) so I can judge properly whether or not the winner deserved to win (in my expert opinion). This year I didn’t quite get it done. I think I saw maybe 2 of the nominated films. This means I don’t have any strong feelings towards anyone or anything in particular winning. Though, I do have serious crushes on Jennifer Lawrence and Ben Afflect (‘s beard) so I want them to do well.

Regardless, the night should be a good one! I’m planning to eat delicious finger foods, hang out with hilarious friends, and probably live tweet the whole event. (Check out my Twitter tonight @outloudkat if you want to feel like you’re watching the broadcast with me!)

While we wait for the sun to set and the stars to descend unto the red carpet, please enjoy this infographic of 2013 Oscar stats.

UPDATE: If you watched the broadcast or followed along with my tweets then you’ll already know that my only two picks were winners! Congrats go out to the fabulously imperfect Jennifer Lawrence (for Best Actress, Silver Linings Playbook) and to Ben Affleck (‘s beard for Best Picture, Argo).
