OSCARS - the good, the bad & the ugly

It's been a number of years since I've watched the Oscars, but this year I was intrigued to see what films and actors were deemed "honorable."  I was pleasantly surprised regarding what actors and films took home Mr. Oscar.  

The man who really stood out and deserved an Oscar was Mr. Ben Affleck.  Even though he wasn't even on the nomination list as Best Director for his latest hit Argo (which won several other awards), he still had many sweet things to say when he made an acceptance speech after the movie won for Best Film.  He has a lot of character and it shows when he said the most honorable things regarding his wife and children. It is clear to me that Ben puts family first over the industry and that really impresses me.  He should have won an Oscar for the best speech of the night.

On another note...the "I saw your boobs" song that Seth MacFarlane opened the glamorous evening with, couldn't have been more distasteful.  I was embarassed for the women he mentioned throughout the song!  Then again, what are we to expect from the creator of The Family Guy??

* Coach T thinks we need more positive films up for awards @ the Oscars.  Things are looking up, with movies like Lincoln coming out, but we have a ways to go!

Sexy Sean Skips the Sex!

I was ecstatic when I saw this magazine's headline at Walmart last week!  Knowing how the entertainment industry likes to polk fun at anyone NOT having sex, this was very refreshing! Sean has had some time in the hot tub with different women in this year's Bachelor saga series along with some kissing sessions back to back.  I WAS excited to see that there was no hot steamy sex as Hollywood likes to portray without the STD, guilt situations that follow.

Sean states that he made some bad decisions during his college years of having pre-marital sex with women, but now as a Christian, he takes his faith seriously.  No hanky panky until the wedding night!  Way to go buddy!  

Past bachelorette star Jillian Harris tells fans that she believes it's not a good idea to skip sex before the wedding night saying it's a huge part of the relationship.  Well we all know how her story ended with Ed, so I wouldn't take her advice.  I waited until my wedding night and married a man like Sean.  Luke, a rededicated Christian who made a promise to God that he was remaining pure and waited many years until our wedding night!  Everyone deserves to start over, to be forgiven and to make better choices.  Believe it or not, if Sean and his woman do wait, then this couple has a good chance of actually staying together forever like Trista and Ryan from a decade ago.  I'm rooting for Sean and his bride to be...which we will find out who that lucky lady is this month!

* Coach T says don't let Hollywood tell you that virginity is a waste.  It's like opening a Christmas present 6 months early...no fun.
