It was a predictably eventful evening in LA this past Sunday at the 96th Academy Awards, hosted at the Dolby Theater.
Among the stand-out moments were John Cena’s naked walk across the stage to present the award for Best Costume Design and Al Pacino’s decision to skip over the nominations for Best Film altogether, instead going straight to announcing the winner.
There were also plenty of talking points to be gleaned from the red carpet, not least relating to the plethora of eye-catching outfits on show. As per reports, actress Kelly Ripa and husband Mark Consuelos were among those to steal the show, with the former causing a particular stir on social media.
Celebrities dominating headlines for their choice of garment for any particular awards ceremony is nothing new.
Yet in the age of social media, where live photos from the red carpet can be shared around the world at the click of a button, it’s become arguably more popular than ever to discuss and debate outfits in real time.
As such, it’s only natural to expect that an event of the magnitude of the Oscars, and those fortunate enough to be in attendance, is always going to be heavily scrutinized.
My Daughter Almost Married an Old Man, but I Uncovered the Truth
As I waited outside the door of my daughter’s prospective husband, I was very worried. Their disparity in age bothered me a great deal. I had no choice but to step in and explain to him why this union was so wrong for her.
I heard someone talking inside the house just as I was ready to knock. I forced myself to listen as my curiosity overcame me. That was my daughter’s fiancé’s voice, and I was astounded by what he said.
He mentioned a scheme and his evil goals. The realization that he was plotting to use my kid made my heart sink. It became evident how much of a liar he was and how wicked his intentions were toward her fortune.
I was so angry that I was unable to control myself. I barged through the door, telling him the truth. As I blasted his heinous crimes and exposed him for the cunning fraud that he was, my voice quiver with wrath.
There was no turning back from the reality now as he recoiled in disbelief. With a renewed sense of resolve, I marched out of the house. I was prepared to go to any lengths to shield my daughter from this monster, even if it meant keeping her apart from the guy she believed to be her true love.
I was struck by how powerful a parent’s love can be at that very time. A parent will stop at nothing to protect and make sure their child is happy and protected.
