Oh, how I love the Oscars!

Moments that I love in no particular order:
– Clips from Oscars past – all those wonderful legendary icons
– Clips from movies that I adore & discovering little known movies that I need to see.
– I’m also one of those people that enjoys getting sentimental over the roll call of artists that were lost in a year’s time…especially with the loss of Heath Ledger
– John Stewart, subtle humor so not too much to laugh about
– Hearing the song – La Vie En Rose – and having to download instantly from iTunes
– Javier Bardem’s acceptance speech – how touching was his thank you to his mother in Spanish…
– wow – that little girl in the Harlem choir from August Rush has one powerful voice
– Colin Farrell = Irresistible
– Helen Mirren – what a lovely dress
—ok, so I zoned out with some of the awards…jeez, really 3.5 hours long (but I remember when it has gone on longer)

So – the Oscar goes to No Country For Old Men – well I gues I’ll have to watch it… 🙂 (Especially since it was apparently based on a book by Cormack McCarthy, an author I enjoyed when I read his book All The Pretty Horses back in high school)

Well all in all an ok night of entertainment.

Good night for now.
