Anne Hathaway and James Franco Exceed Expectations at the 2011 Oscars®

The set of the Academy Awards® during the live ABC Televison Network broadcast of the 83rd Annual Academy Awards® from the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, CA Sunday, February 27, 2011.
Expectations exceeded! The 2011 Oscars© was FANTASTIC!! The critics were dead wrong about James Franco and Anne Hathaway! They were a top notch pair that illuminated the stage, played off each other and brought “Classy” back to an already classy event. I am not saying that Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin did a bad job last year; but I do feel their performances were a bit scripted and came off as forced, stiff and unnatural. Okay, they did a bad job!
Never the less, I was very impressed with the show. I LIKE IT!!! I LIKE IT A LOT!!

OMG!! I Love Monster Movies!!!
For the extremely fortunate few, who know me (Rex O’Hara) will also know that I LOVE MONSTER MOVIES!! (especially the CLASSICS!) The 83rd Academy Awards® Make Up Symposium was held Saturday, February 26th, 2011!
Producer Lori McCreary, Academy Awards nominee Morgan Freeman for his performance in "Invctus," and Morgana Freeman arrive at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, CA, on Sunday, March 7, 2010.
BREAKING NEWS!!!
Morgan Freeman has been found ALIVE!!! Yes it’s true! Morgan Freeman is alive and well. December 16th, 2010, some smart Alec (not Alec Baldwin) decided to post all over Twitter that Morgan Freeman was found dead in his Burbank, CA home. Does he even live in Burbank? Yuch. The hoax spread like wildfire over Twitter-Land.
I was in shock when I heard Morgan Freeman had died! I had planned for him to narrate my epic documentary, “THE STORY of REX O’HARA”!
So as you can guess, I am so glad Morgan Freeman was found Alive!
