Behind Oscars....

This year's award season bored me....i was expecting something a little more jaw dropping from the nominees. But alas they played it safe, so safe i fell asleep....

But thankfully the women behind the cameras (yes the presenters!) knocked me off my feet. Someone needs to salute these hidden gems! So to the women behind Access Hollywood, E! news, and ET...i say THANK YOU for saving Oscar's!!!
