Most Embarrassing Moments

Matthew McConaughey was a very enthusiastic speaker who showed that he was the right choice when winning this award. He began by thanking his fellow workers who worked hard on the movie and even the other nominees to show respect and not doubt his fellow actors. McConaughey also states his three main points of the speech to show what he would be talking about. His humor made his words flow whenever he started talking about his Father and it caused it to shift into thanking his loved ones in the audience. His stance throughout the speech looked like he was shifting only because he would look around at the audience and create eye contact. McConaughey pointed out the people he was talking about and directly spoke to them the things he wanted to

My biggest Ah-Ha moment for this class came during our class discussion on the personality test. I had taken a similar test in BUSI 2300 and suspected from the beginning that my personality would be a “C.” After having read about the other personalities I also knew that the “I” personality had a tendency to annoy me in work situations. However, I was quite surprised when Professor Dyson commented in class that most “C’s” are annoyed by “I’s.” Hearing it out loud made me feel somewhat embarrassed and intolerant. Still in the back of my mind I felt like I will just have to learn to be more tolerant of “I’s” because in work situations all kind of people are involved. My actual moment came when Professor Dyson told the story about the company with

Ciarra and I could not stop laughing over her actions. We take our seats and wait for the panel to start. Before the panel started the V.I.P guests took their seats and I was immediately star struck, Troian Bellisario’s (One of the main cast members and my favorite actress on the show) fiancée sat right in front of Ciarra and I and I could not stop squealing. He turned around and began having conversation with everyone and of course I wanted to say something but I was star stud so no words physically came out so whatever. After what felt like years of waiting the cast finally came out and again I was star struck I have never been that close to the women that make my life complete. During the panel I screamed, cried and laughed mostly crying but that is beside the point. When the panel ended everyone rushed outside to take pictures of the cast leaving hoever the cast was still on stage taking promotional pictures doe the official Pretty little Liars social media

Trying to fix a diversity problem doesn’t have an instant solution. The Academy is facing this and dealing with the racial representation in the Oscar Awards as it has become a huge problem in Hollywood. Ira Deutchman, a member of the Academy, has stated “Like many Academy members, I was embarrassed and disappointed when this year’s Oscar nominees were announced, but I wasn't shocked. After all, no season passes without several scathing articles about the lack of diversity in Hollywood, both on the screen and in executive suites. On the other hand, when fingers were pointed at the membership of the Academy as the cause of the problem, I bristled at the implications”(Deutchman). As stated, the audience even including the Academy Members are baffled by the Oscar’s nominees. Racial representation is a huge problem in

For the last two years, the Oscars have come under fire in the last two years with their lack of nominations of people with color. The Oscars otherwise known as the Academy Awards is an award show to highlight and give praise to the best movies and short films of the year, including in this prestigious awards are the actors and actresses that star in these blockbusters and they are, as well as their movies praised on the highest level for their craft. However what has become under scrutiny is the so-called “White Wash” that has come across the ceremony.

There has been many controversies about the lack of diversity in Hollywood and one of the most recent one was the 2016 Oscars. The Oscars is an award show that showcase the best people in front and behind the camera. Unfortunately there was barely any diversity in the nominations this year since most nominators were white, even though there was many diverse films that were considered Oscar worthy. With that being said,people protested that there needs to be more diversity in these categories and some actors agreeing by using the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite in social media. To make things worse, the Academy Awards members are majority older white males which brought to the attention from the protesters that in order to have diversity into the awards, the members itself needs to represent of all races so, it can be considered a fair choice. Which make sense to why throughout history of the Oscars there was always a discrepancy of diversity in the nominations since 1929 because only a very small percentage of minorities actors have received an award compared to the white actors that dominated the Oscars with a high percentage of winners. This created tension in Hollywood that the Oscars are marginalizing itself as a all white program and that there needs to be changes.

Instead, he stated that he was baffled by what had happened. He made sure to note that he did not live in Hollywood, but instead he lives in a smaller part of the world where things like this are not thought of too much. The Oscars organization has made statements recognizing the controversy. They have stated that they plan to implement certain measures that will eliminate these racist tendencies and allow for more diversity in their

When Leonardo DiCaprio won his first Oscar, the crowd practically exploded with excitement. His acceptance speech was allowed to run on longer than the typical 45 seconds due to all of his previous nominations that did not end in him acquiring an Oscar. He made no jokes about, for instance, how he’s been nominated so many times without receiving an Oscar that he didn’t prepare a speech. Instead, he was humble, and spent his time thanking those who have helped him come as far as

After the uncomforting silence left, the whole cast and crew of moonlight came up the stage. Although it wasn't easy, after they finished their speeches the audience finally settled. The coordinators of the Oscars are extremely devastated, for it was the first big mistake ever made by the

“Man, I counted at least 15 black people on that monitor. I’m here at the academy awards, otherwise known as the White Peoples Choice Awards.” said Chris Rock to kick off the 2016 Oscars Academy Awards. The Awards were surrounded with controversy through and through. It was the second time in a row that absolutely no African Americans had been nominated. Considering that a lot of great movies came out in which African Americans either wrote, directed, or acted in, a few in the the Black community exclaimed that the racism in Hollywood needed to end. On the other hand, others felt that the reason that no black actors were nominated was because they were not good enough this year, or the one before that…, to earn a nomination. They feel as though

Everyone has had to deal with some sort of regret in their life. It has to happen to everyone. No one can say that they have never had a time where they regretted something. That’s like saying you are a perfect human being. Well, reality is that no one is perfect. It is impossible for someone to go throughout life without any mistakes and or regret. Everyone is human and humans make mistakes constantly. Some regretful experiences can leave a big impact on ones life. It can be totally life changing and sometimes change a person totally. Others just regret it and feel nothing else towards it. They will most likely do it again. My experience is very much life changing. Or at least it changed my point of view.

“Oscars So White” a phrase that began trending on social media sites after the 2016 Academy Awards announce their nominees for Best Actor and Best Actress, it was predominately white for a second year in a row. The movie industry is no stranger to controversy and since its inception it’s constantly been guilty of underrepresenting ethnic people. It’s evident that film is a type of mass media that has a certifiable amount of power to influence audience’s views, yet this platform constantly disregards the need for diversity in favor of stereotypes. Movies such as Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961), Scarface (1983), and Pan (2015) are all guilty of this. The depiction of non-American characters in Hollywood movies are constructed around racial

It was in December, during my Christmas vacation, when I decided to start looking for a summer job. There were many options but the job I decided to apply for was a position as a lifeguard at a waterpark. I filled out an application and was accepted almost immediately. The only thing left was the lifeguard training; little did I know that it was going to be an experience I would never forget.

Have you ever encountered a tragic moment and saved someone’s life? All of a sudden I was the only one that could help because everyone else was in shock. The bravest moment of my life that surprised me was giving CPR to a man in a restaurant.
