bearshortyBear drove me home this morning and I was trying to hold as much conversation in Russian with him so he could practice talking in it more. That was fun.
Then, after lunch, I actually did some work. My goal was to have a free evening so I could watch the Oscars. I never miss the Oscars and I watch the whole show. This year I’ve seen four out of ten movies and I know enough about the rest and I’ve been all the animated shorts and two animated movies. And it was fun show.
Anne Hathaway and James Franco were not the best hosts, but they were not too terrible. Anne Hathaway was trying her heart out. But the rest of the show when very smoothly. “Lost Thing” won the short animation - my least favorite animated short. I really don’t understand why since it wasn’t that special.
Colin Firth – I’m so happy for him, he really deserves his and not just for this movie.
And “King’s Speech” won! Yes. I actually saw it before it won this year, so my Oscar list in complete. (In high school, before DVDs, I made it a project to watch all movies that ever won Best Picture. It took me many years and tracking movies on VHS in the local library, but I have watched all of them, even terrible ones. So every year I make sure to add to my Oscar list.) My favorite bit was autotuned movies like Harry Potter and Twilight.
I also bought 1995 Cabaret recording – the Alan Cumming one. I do love the music in that show.
