Why Is Nobody Talking About Auli'i Cravalho's Oscar Performance?

There needs to be less talk about the mistake, and more talk about our next big star.

Why Is Nobody Talking About Auli'i Cravalho's Oscar Performance?

The Oscars is one of the most important nights in Hollywood. Red carpets, designer dresses, and tons of talented actors fill the Dolby Theater. Once the Oscars happen, it is all the talk for days and this year was no different, except, it was all the talk for a different reason.

The Best Motion Picture category was a bit of a messy situation this year. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were announcing the category when they said that La La Land was the winner. Those involved with that movie came up and 2 minutes into their speech, they learned that Moonlight had actually won. In good spirits, they called those involved with Moonlight to the stage and that was it. But not for the media. Media platforms were blowing up with this mistake. It has been the talk since Sunday. While other events from the night are being highlighted, there is one performance that no-one seems to be talking about.

That performance is of 16-year-old Auli'i Cravalho, the voice of Moana. She performed the hit "How Far I'll Go" from the movie and it was amazing. Lin Manuel-Miranda led the performance with a rap. The young girl took it from there and blew everyone away by storm. Despite a minor bump on the head from one of the props, Auli'i was on cloud 9.


Auli'i is definitely the next big thing. Her smile, personality, and talent definitely set her apart from the rest. There needs to be less talk about the mistake, and more talk about our next big star.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
