Hola Dannie aqui,
Today the Oscars are set to award and honor some of the best filmmakers on this little watery planet, and I am here to let all of you know who the lucky winners are. I am curious as to how tonight will go seeing as this is the first time in 30 years the ceremony has lacked a host, ohhh. It has begun with a performance of "We will Rock You" by Adam Lambert and the surviving members of Queen. I am not a Lambert fan... I absolutely hate this, the hook give him the hook, ug...vomit. Ug, please make this stop.
