Wow

big surprise oscar night. this post is addressed solely to frank, as he is the only one who cares as much about this silliness as i do and he actually reads this now (!)

let's all have a moment of silence for daniel day-lewis' loss...

.....

oh but adrien brody was so wonderful and gracious and he kissed halle berry like he was dying tomorrow (how great) and he was genuinely surprised, as was i, and you know, he really was great in that movie. and what he said about the war was great and i'm very happy for him. there's always one big surprise! i was amazed, looking at the best actor nominations again, about how great all the guys are - daniel is of course mindblowing, jack was the best of his career maybe, michael caine was brilliant and moving, so was adrien, and i've forgotten the other one... oh my gosh...wait - shit i'm going to have to look it up (1 minutes later) NICOLAS CAGE..jesus.. well yes in that group he is the most forgettable, but he was still awesome. i wish charlie kaufman had won for best adapted screenplay. the pianist half-swept! it was practially a chicago/the pianist tie! wow

i'm sooo very happy catherine zeta-jones won. and nicole too. and chris cooper of course.

AND MICHAEL MOORE!!!! oh i was laughing and laughing. the only disappointment is he gave that exact same speech last night at the independent spirit awards where he also won (to a much more welcoming audience). oh how they booed him! damn those balcony people. it was hilarious though, i just figure, everyone is thinking similar things but tiptoeing around it, michael just cannon balled into the celebrity pool! ha!

ummm...chicago was a dead ringer but was about the third best movie..wait, lord of the rings was a little better than it too.. i'd still say the hours is the best of those nominated.. and the pianist is a little better than chicago, and what's the other?...gangs of new york, yeah i was more satisfied at the end of gangs than chicago too..lol.. chicago has a little bit of a weak end, that brings the whole thing down. but it is a damn good time.

roman polanski! ha! i liked that. you could feel it in the air. it's a shame he can't come back to the country.. if you didn't hear, he was accused of statutory rape of a.. very young girl.. 11, 12, 13, 14, i'm not sure, never convicted, the judge at the last second betrayed their arrangement and he left the country, so if he ever comes back in he can be arrested. craziness. so on top of that, he survived a concentration camp which he escaped from in WWII AND his then wife sharon tate was brutally murdered by the manson kids! what an insane life! he deserves this damn oscar!

ok goodnight.
