Oscars

[meddow]

I love Oscar day. All the news shows drag on one of the average looking completely non-Hollywood from random New Zealander who just happens to have more Oscars than Meryl Streep on for an interview, which I find highly amusing. The LotR effect is going to take a few generations to dwindle.

Of course, at 3am tomorrow when the free TV telecast finishes and I’m sitting on the couch half asleep, half pissed off cause some movie I didn’t like won the big one, I’ll hate myself for wasting four hours of my life watching it. But I don’t really care about that right now.

I with team Helen Mirren. I walked into The Queen a cynical republican (in the commonwealth sense) and walked out still a cynical republican, but she was just so awesome in that movie that I was rooting for an absolute monarchy till the end of the credits. Though I caught The Devil Wears Prada yesterday and Meryl Streep completely lives up to the hype. She managed to humanise her character with one line and when her back was turned to the camera. As for all the other categories, I’m rooting for Children of Men for best picture as it was the best movie of last year. But since it wasn’t nominated I really don’t like its chances.

Meanwhile, I’m loving that Addison on Grey’s Anatomy is getting her own spin-off. That means that if she takes Callie, Bailey and Alex with her then I can give up on Grey’s Anatomy all together.

I read the first sentence and thought, "Huh. Was that nominated?" Then I got to the second sentence. Hee. :)

I live in hope that one day one of the announcers go loose cannon and give it something not nominated. That would be some entertaining TV. Though apparently this was not the year.
