Oscars

Okay, I was dreaming when I thought Clive &  Natalie might actually win, but they sure looked great as did the rest of the stars. Not an Oooops in the bunch. Always good to see Clint Eastwood get the recognition he deserves, but this year it could've easily been a tie with Aviator. 

I love Sean Penn, but lighten up! Jude Law WAS in every movie this year, so the joke was appropriate. Not too long or ridiculous this year, with the one exception of the all Beyonce music show, after the overkill it was appropriate that none of her 3 songs won, although the French one was great, but the others were Blah. Very sheek and beautiful on both the men and women, many notables, Salma Hayek, Hillary Swank, Scarlet Johannson, Julia Roberts, Oprah, Cate Blanchett and especially Kate Winslet. 

It really was a stellar year for movies this year, we should be so lucky in 2005. No real notables on the horizon yet, but we can hope.

Oscar Day

Well this is it, Oscar Night. Just saw Million Dollar Baby, a real tear jerker. Very good. I'm just happy it's a packed field this year with lots of great films, no Lord of the Rings spoiler this year. Think it will be a split best movie/best director this year. But still think Ray will walk away with best picture, usually the nostalgic factor plays a roll and I think it will this time, plus it is a deserving film. Clint Eastwood for Director though. We'll see! !
