199 Oscar

It's not because this is the New Year's Eve, but I think I can tell a truth. I wanted to be an actor when I was a kid. I even admit that I once dreamed about getting an Oscar. I've been always looking forward to watching the Oscar awards show.

Though the dream era has gone I still think New Year's Eve is the best time to rebroadcast the Oscar. Why? because, the night is for praising the year's works and achievements, giving gratitude to fellow workers, friends, families and god, and of course celebrating. That's the attitude which should be shared at the end of the year, isn't it?

The show is truly interesting. Think of it, the most expressive and eloquent talented people in the world would gather to show their most natural feelings (I guess so, but sometimes it might be the most controlled peformance). This is interesting as a human watching in most luxurious way.

One of the most impressive and touching moments that I like is Michael Caine winning the best Supporting Actor in 2000. He said "I don't feel like being the winner, I represent you", and praised each of his fellow nominees with heart and full of humor.

And one of the funniest and most brilliant jokes is definitely this, Jack Black and Will Ferrell's "Get Off the Stage" song.

Loveliest moment in these years should be Kate Winslet winning Best Actress, really beautiful stage by 5 presenters, and don't miss the charming "Dad, whistle or something!"

Great show always has great host. Needless to say the legendary Bob Hope and Billy Crystal, one of my favorites is cynical and intellectual, “A Wild and Crazy Guy” Steve Martin.
