I usually watch award shows - even though they often irritate me.
But I'm afraid for the first hour I'll be watching Being Human (even though it is repeated later)

I will be Mr. I am sky+ Being human and watching that in bed later.Colin firth is being tipped for 2 Baftas, so I think he will win the Oscar as well.I havn't seen the Kings Speech yet, but I will, hopefully soon.

I`ll be watching.  

I never know what to call you now - Meaty or Mincey?  

And the winner is.....

Emma Thompson 

Not quite sure myself... need to change it back, as MrMincePie was because it was Christmas

So it was   

Change it if you want to Meaty Mincey - I like both  

Nah..not watching,I have a weeks worth of stuff SKY+ to catch up on.All my CSI,Criminal minds,NCIS etc.

Don`t know about anybody else but I`m struggling to understand Wossie.  

He`s talking at a rate of knots.

DOI is on again in a min....I only watch any of the acting awards to see what they're wearing #ficklememuch?

Helena Bonham Carter - I love her. 

She`s got style.

A style all of her own.  

Kings Speech is running riot

Oh yes.  

She copies me you know.   

Hello you    Did you see the rest of your sleep thread?

I saw a bit of it last night about 2 am. I had a delivery of some books and that, unfortunately, put paid to me being on here, I started one and had to read until I dropped off. It was really nice to see the responses. I just thought today was a bit late to revive it, seems like attention seeking, but I really appreciated it.  

PS. Velvet was right, we've had quite a bit of weather down here, window open, splashes of rain on the douvet.

Chuffed Tom Hardy got "rising star" award. I think he is very committed, skilful and versatile.

I like a bit of melodrama but after hearing the trailed insert about The Black Swan, I am right off it.
They speak in that croaky-ET kind of way which so many American actresses use these days.
Can't stand it myself.

Natalie Portman is pretty damned stunning mind Brisket

It`s not attention seeking to revive it cologne - dinnae be sae daft  

I`m happy you liked the responses.

It`s lovely to drop off to sleep with a good book. 

Sorry but Black Swan was the most bizarre thing I have ever watched, and had I gone alone to watch it I would have left the cinema.  I only stayed because my American friends reaction to it was way too amusing to walk away from.

Christopher Lee

Me neither brisket but it`s not just actresses that do it. 

It`s happening with lots of American teenagers. I watch Judge Judy and most of the girls that are on there speak like that. I commented about it on Youtube and the replies from adult Americans were that it`s a kind of a new learned speak - they`re all copying each other. I don`t understand it.

Thank you ever so much for that Scotty. 
I tried to mention it on GaGa previously, but I don't think I explained it well.
But you clearly know what I mean.
Thanks for the research and evidence.
It is comforting to know I am not alone in disliking this strange way of speaking.
   Appreciated.

Blimey! As someone who agreed with the OAP I searched through the electrical DVD recorder hard disc for previously recorded stuff. There were films going back to last year, so we watched "knowing" Oh Dear! That's the best part of a couple of hours we won't get back! Phooey! Just caught the back end of the BAFTAS and noted that "Inception" received a couple. That's the only one we've seen!

Thanks brisket and you`re welcome 
I remember you mentioning it, and you explained it well. 
I`ve often thought, if these kids speak that way when/if they have their own children - will they speak that way too? They could have a future American nation of croakers.
