Yesterday marked the end of this semesters red carpet events. The most anticipated event was transmitted through out the whole world, The Oscars. The Red Carpet was transmitted in E! in Colombia and in the other 120 countries with E!. E!'s correspondents were Ryan Seacrest in the Red Carpet interviewing and Giuliana Rancic with Jay Manuel in a box above the carpet commenting on the fashion. After the hour and a half of the red carpet I turned to TNT. Though the Oscars ceremony was a little bit tardy to start in this channel it was the only one in Colombia broadcasting it. It attracted the highest U.S audience in the past 5 years. With 41.3 million while last year 36.3 million viewers tuned in to see it.The Ceremony started out with a song performed by Neil Patrick Harris. Like last years opening act performed by Hugh Jackman. Then the two hosts, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, made their entrance and started to make their jokes about the nominees. Then the ceremony started and Celebrities after Celebrities took foot on the stage to announce the Oscar winners and to claim their statue. There were many emotional speeches like the speech Sandra Bullock gave when she received Best Actress Award. She thanked the Tuohy family, the family of the film "The Blind Side' for which she won the award. She came emotional when she talked about what the Tuohy family did with taking in the boy and raising him as their own and when she talked about her spouse Jesse James. In the end the Award for best Motion Picture of the Year was taken by Kathryn Bigelow's film " The Hurt Locker". The Best Actor In a Leading Role award was won by Jeff Bridges in the film " Crazy Heart" while The Best Actress In a Leading Role was won by Sandra Bullock.
After the Oscars E! was transmitting the Oscar After party which included more interviews of the winners and what they plan to do in future projects.
