What Went On At The Oscars 2019 and Who Wore Feathers


What really are the Oscars anyway?

This year was the 91st Academy Awards Ceremony, better known as the Oscars. The name Oscar is really just the name of the statue that is given out. Why is it called an Oscar? There is no final answer but here is the one I like best.

Bette Davis claims that she coined the name because the back side of the statue reminded her of her husband when he got out of the shower in the morning.

There was a lot of drama leading up to this year's Oscars.

I could not wrap my head around the whole story, but I could give you some of the high lights.

First time in three decades that there was no host.

Kevin Hart was supposed to host but because of some homophobic comments he made back in 2011 he declined.

People are also less interested in watching live broadcast television these days so the ratings are down and they tried some new ideas to cut costs.

So who wore feathers to the Oscars?

Cicely Tyson was the first colored woman to receive the Academy's Honorary Oscar this year. She showed up to the party in a B Michael Couture feather dress.

Chrissy Teigen also wore feathers to the 2019 Oscars. She can be seen teasing John Legend on the red carpet. Chrissy`s Thai and Norwegian genes are a stunning blend.  

Lupita Nyong`o the Kenyan-Mexican actress also came to the Oscars decked out in feathers.

Her picture is the one at the top.

Did I miss anyone?
