Oscar Shock!

Oscar Shock!

Academy Awards

A couple of big surprises at the 91st annual Oscars!  The biggest upset came in the Best Actress category.  Olivia Coleman won for “The Favourite,” beating out THE favorite to win, Glenn Close.  Rami Malek, as expected, won Best Actor for “Bohemian Rhapsody.”  “Green Book” unexpectedly took the award for Best Picture.  Lady Gaga won Original Song for “Shallow” from “A Star is Born,” which she and Bradley Cooper performed.  The show itself was quicker paced, as many of the awards that are usually presented during commercial breaks were actually broadcasted this year.  The lack of a host didn’t seem to hurt the ceremony, which instead featured multiple stars as presenters.  Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Maya Rudolph opened up the night and were delightfully funny.  Julia Roberts presented the final award for Best Picture and wrapped up the evening.

Taylor Swift may be gearing up for her next album!  She posted a cryptic photo and caption on Instagram – the photo has seven palm trees, her caption is just seven palm tree emojis, and her next album would be her seventh album.  Just sayin’!  Her last album was “Reputation,” which she released in 2017.
