"The Artist" and "Hugo" win five awards each?

The 2012 Academy Awards were tonight. "The Artist" and "Hugo" won five awards each.
It was surprising to see both movies tied for the most awards. It was great to see
Christopher Plummer win for Best Supporting Actor for "Beginners." Kudos to Octavia Spencer for winning the Best Supporting Actress for "The Help."

But, there were people that were robbed of awards. Two people were George Clooney and Viola Davis. Jean Dujardin beat George in the Best Actor category for "The Artist." Meryl Streep won her third Academy Award for "The Iron Lady", by beating Viola Davis in the Best Actress Category.

The Artist won for Best Picture, and Michel H. won for Best Director (for "The Artist")
also. It was good to see "The Descendants" and "Midnight in Paris" win one award each. But, "The Descendants" deserved to win another award. That's all RSG has to say for tonight. Billy Crystal was marvelous as usual. Way to Go, Billy!

Seeing Will.i.am Up Close!

Last night, RSG saw Will.i.am at the Bird's Nest Tent in Scottsdale. It was great to see William James Adams,Jr.(aka Will.i.am) mixing some great songs. His beats were raw, and my friends wanted to see him up close & personal. His show was part of the Coors Light Bird's Nest entertainment tent, across the street from the TPC Scottsdale (site of Waste Management Open). Many people were crowded in a gigantic tent, as Will.i.am came on to mix some phat beats.

Will.i.am performed (did his DJ set) for 100 or 105 minutes. There were four beautiful dancers dancing on the stage, while Will.i.am was mixing songs from current hits and old school tunes too. RSG got about two handfuls of pictures, and some of them were as close as it gets. RSG had not seen a concert (or DJ set) that up close, since his college days. But, the ticket for Will.i.am was steep. Parking was ridiculous also.

All in all, it was a good concert experience. RSG saw some nice females there, and it was cool to dance with some of them. Peace!
