tealin1. HOORAY DANISH POET! I LOVE YOU, DANISH POET! I am SO happy it won best short. So, so, so, SO happy. It follows the typical Oscar guideline of The Ugliest Short Wins, and while it was hardly ugly, it was the least glossy and beautiful of the nominees. Despite this I was afraid that 'No Time For Nuts' would take home the statuette. For once I've actually seen three of the five nominees and I'm so glad 'The Danish Poet' won because it was my favourite by far. I hope it gets some sort of wider release now because everyone ought to get the chance to see it.
2. I haven't seen Happy Feet (I know! I'm sorry! I'll catch it on DVD!) but I'm glad Cars didn't win. From all accounts, Happy Feet is a very good movie, and Pixar needs a bit of a hubris check in my opinion.
3. Al Gore is starting to look a lot like Jeffrey Jones. I did a side-by-side comparison for a visual aide. I don't know what this means, necessarily, but it was a little weird. They started out looking completely different but as Gore ages he's filling out in exactly the same way and is starting to get the same bulgey eyes...
4. Even more weird was George Lucas. Did he not look like some sort of puppet? My theory is that he uses his beard to show where his jawline should be, but he's lost track of where that is and the hem has migrated upwards. I know this is a very shallow and judgemental paragraph but it was just so distracting.
Anyway, that was fun. And I got to catch up on all the commercials I've been missing by not having television. Unfortunately none of them really stood out, which makes me miss TV even less.
