Boy oh boy are these bad boys a hit! Not only are these awards on half the televisions in my house, but I am almost guaranteed to go to school tomorrow to hear over fifty percent of the student body talking about it. But why?
Well, teenagers just might not have anything better to do on a Sunday night cause they got their homework done a head of time unlike me (whoops). Other than that, there a ton of super talented people featured as well as amazing performances! If you don't care about the awards, the performances alone are enough reason to watch. There is some great music being performed raw so there aren't any chances for them to auto tune their voices or lip sync. Everything is very fresh and real. Personally, I think it's cool to see some of my favorite artists perform when there isn't a set with a ton of background dancers.
Not a big fan of music? Well, there are plenty of other things to watch or focus on! I find it interesting to see what society thinks of the movies out, especially since I tend to critique movies while I watch them. There are a lot of outcomes that may surprise you. It could be fun!
Then there are the celebrity award announcers. Goodness are they interesting. There are some people who watch specifically because there is a certain celebrity as a host. I personally will tend to want to watch more if I know that the host is funny. If they are then I obviously want to see what they have to say. This year it was Conan O'Brien. I knew that it was going to be hilarious right after that. Therefore, I watched. I am guilty as charged. And let me tell you, I cracked up.
There was something this time that I did not expect that I really enjoyed. Part of it has to do with the fact that I am a teenage girl, and the other because it was new. There was a skit where two very attractive actors and a very funny actor had to kiss the girl who had a golden ticket with that actors' name on it. Boy did I freak out. Other than extremely attractive people, the actors tended to give funny thank you speeches. Matt Damon was my favorite speech giver.
On the softer side, they had a tribute to Paul Walker who died very unexpectedly this year. It brought tears to my eyes having one of his coworkers give the speech about it as well as having his best friend talk about him in a clip. It gave the award show a whole new side, and I enjoyed it very much.
I cannot wait for next year's awards.
