Are actors afraid to show who they really are? The rise of the beards...
Roald Dahl always wanted to "do something against beards", because he had an acute dislike of them. He said that men who had beards were evil and had something to hide. Well Roald would had have a fit if he had attended the Oscars 2013- every guy it seemed turned up with full facial hair...
Ben, George, Russel, Hugh, black or grey - a beard seems to be a must have nowadays in Hollywood.
Even
Daniel Day-Lewis is having a beard (ok - only when playing Lincoln, but anyway)
Besides from that the Oscar event was a bit tacky - I don't like Seth MacFarlane so much; the longing for the Academy for a younger demographic is so much that they are willing to cross the line of decency. William Shatner—as Star Trek’s Captain Kirk—beamed in from “the future” and labeled
MacFarlane “the worst Oscar host ever.” He was right.
Great that Anne Hathaway got his oscar (as I predicted before) and that Amour got the statue. (sorry for
Emmanuelle Riva not having hers)
But the night's biggest triumph was the ageless Shirley Bassey, who performed an amazing version of the Goldfinger theme, she out shined Barbra and Adele.
