A Sigh of Relief

It's over people. The Oscars, as much as it saddens be to finally be rid of James Franco's stoned lines on that epic night last week, I am so excited at the outcomes of the Oscar winners. I think we all knew that Colin First was going to win Best Actor, he greatly deserved it, I mean come on his movie was in the box office for like 6 months, he should at least get some recognition. No, but in all seriousness, Firth not only played the role of King George with accuracy and truth, he commanded the role and made it his own.


Here is the clip of all of the Best actor nominee's and Colin Firth's acceptance speech. There is a great shot of James Franco looking quite happy and a little loopy (hm I wonder why). It was also nice to see Sandra Bullock looking very elegant and keeping her charm and wit that she always has.

Also, very elegant was Natalie Portman's acceptance speech. She looks beautiful pregnant. It seems really special to me because she is pregnant with the child of the man that she met on the set of Black Swan while she was winning the award for Best Actress for Black Swan, very cute. I wonder if she'll name her daughter Swan, or after the character in her movie. I thought it was really nice of her as well, to thank the people behind the scenes that normally don't get thanked in her acceptance speech. Someone makes her look good and it is not Natalie herself, she thanked her make-up artist and wardrobe assistants as well as the costume designer and the person, who I presume brought her coffee every morning. Nice Natalie, nice. You can watch the clip below, because what is the fun just listening to me talk about it if you can't read it for yourself?

Now that the Oscar's are over, what are we supposed to do? Well no fear kids, there is plenty to do around here. Why don't you rent that movie that you have always been dying to watch, Wag the Dog (it's actually a really epic and has a TON of political humor). You could play with your dog maybe? Or cook dinner for your family, they've been dying to have that roasted pork loin again that you cooked last week, or maybe that's just me.


No but for real, there is a lot of stuff to do around town. If you in Los Angeles, not only is there another crop of movies coming out, but there are some pretty good theatre shows going on around town. Check out The Pantages and Center Theatre Group. Jane Fonda is in a show right now called 33 Variations at Center Theatre Group, which I have heard is supposed to be quite ravishing. Until I see it for myself, I cannot give you any of my personal opinions (I know you're heartbroken), but I'll get on it as soon as I can.


I'm going out of town, so I probably won't write for a week or two, but don't worry guys, I'lll be backkkkk :) Until next time, do some laundry, because your clothes smell.
