I like to think that it is because Hugh Jackman is the host that it was elevated to a new level of greatness because he is a true song and dance man who knows what it takes to entertain and be fantastic. No one can put a show on like he can because he is a genuinely talented indivudual and regardless of whether you enjoy musical theater or not everyone enjoys a good show. And Hugh Jackman knows how to put on a good show.
Overall the telecast seemed like a real celebration of film and it's artists which is so often lacking in Hollywood and in the film industry. It's so easy to get lost among the shuffle of making money and doing stupid crap commercials and listening to a barrage of idiots talking about being in the "industry" and you forget that at it's core film is about making art on a grand scale through a medium that has the capacity to reach millions of people. That is amazing when you take the time to think about that. The potential that every film has to make such an overwhelming impact in people's lives.
What a good year for movies and for artists. I hope one day to merely be considered an artist among the giants that are creating such beautiful work.
