Academy Awards

I'm hoping for Ellen Page . . .

But Julie Christie is a magnum opus just being herself on screen, although I haven't seen the film she's been nominated for.

"Juno" is about the only movie I saw this year... now I guess I need to beef up my Netflix list!

Hey what d'you think about this year's choice of "entertainments"...? And, now we have answers... winners..? No-one really seems to have heard of any of the films this year... 'xcept for that one La Vie En Rose or whatever it's called "best foreign arthouse flick"/whatever ... didn't it pick up best actress actually?... I'm talking about that biopic 'bout Edith Piaf...

??

Yes, not many familiar faces. And the major winner, No Country for Old Men, was very very dark and very disturbing. As someone said, they recognized only the presenters. No Titanics this year!

Yes, the woman who was Piaf won Best Actress. I'm very surprised Julie Christie didn't win.

Oh yeah Julie Christie I know the NAME very well but cannot really place her... isn't she a real 60s chick... a Marianne Faithfull of the film world?

Hey I can have a look at bollocky old Barrack now (sorry sour grapes because he's going to win I want HILLARY!!) bc I have sound...

Dennis enjoys the show. Dennis loves the dresses the ladies wear. Dennis liked Helen Mirren's dress. Dennis also like the Edith Piaf Lady.

Nobody who anyone had heard of won anything... except Edith Piaf:~~ and she is DEAD so she had to be played by someone else! (Also has America HEARD of Piaf? Surely she's on the francophone circuit of things...??...) ;->...
