Awkward...

That awkward moment when you realize you haven't blogged in you don't know how long… whoops!

Lots and lots of awesome things have happened since I last blogged:

Jeremy Abbott had a big fall in his  ice skating routine in Sochi. And guess what? He got right back up and finished his routine like a total BOSS.

Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir performed the highest ever scoring routine in Olympic history. Then Meryl Davis and Charlie White got an even higher score, bringing the gold to America.

This article was posted on Buzzfeed: 10 Thing We Should All Know About The Paralympic Winter Games .

Jennifer Lawrence continued to be lovingly clumsy and fell at the Oscar's again. Thankfully (I think) for her, it wasn't on the way up to get an Academy Award. But the oh-so-wonderful Ellen Degeneres reminded everyone of these two slips on international television. Ms. JLaw's reaction is so awesome.

Speaking of the Oscars, let me be the billionth person to say just how awesome this year's show was.

My Top Oscar Moments 2014:

1. Ellen Degeneres hosting. That can stand alone. And attributes to probably half of the reasons I loved the show this year.

2. Jared Leto's acceptance speech. Can we just take a moment to appreciate the awesomeness that is that man? I mean, not many people can be so tactful while talking about AIDS and then make his award night about his mom. Please excuse me while I go swoon.

3. That selfie. If you haven't seen it, go google it. It literally broke Twitter.

4. Lupita Nyong'o. She is such a classy individual. I can't even. Go watch her speech at for Best Breakthrough Performance at the seventh annual Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon . It will make you rethink beauty. 

5. Ellen (or somebody at the ceremony) ordered pizzas for the stars. Then an actual delivery man came to deliver the pizzas… From the Oscar's stage. Then celebrities (like JLaw, Brad Pitt, Kerry Washington, etc.) ate it. On paper plates. In designer clothes. Oh and Ellen collected money in Pharrell's hat. Awesome.

6. Pink performed "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" with Judy Garland's children in the audience.

7. Bette Midler sang a very toughing "Wind Beneath My Wings" in tribute to the entertainers who passed away this past year. Get ready with the tissues. 

8. Lupita Nyong'o, Amy Adams, and Meryl Streep danced with Pharrell as he performed his nominated song "Happy". And those ladies can dance!

9. Ellen and Whoopi dressed up as The Wizard of Oz characters, Glinda and The Wicked Witch, respectively. Hi-larious. 

10. Bill Murray added onto the list of people who passed with a man who he worked with on several films. So classy.

11. Emma Watson and Joseph Gordon-Levitt became my new Hollywood "shipped" couple. And take that as a compliment, Ms. Watson. I wouldn't share him with just anyone. ;)

12. And finally, my favorite moment: Steve McQueen's Reaction the winning best picture. He risked mooning the whole world to turn and celebrate the victory with the cast and crew. It was honestly the best way I can think of to end such an amazing Oscars. 

And the award for the most awkward moment goes to: John Travolta. Idina Menzel can be tough to pronounce, but seriously, Adele Dazeem? I hope that was an intentional ploy to get her more attention. Otherwise, smdh. Also, if you haven't heard of her, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! Go listen to Wicked. Or Frozen. Or Rent. Or Glee. The woman is amazing. 

There were so many more wonderful moments that I can't list them all. I think I'll go watch it again. You should too! :)

Until next time, 
Poison <3
