Helen Mirren is looking so good!

Hi again.  I just saw a minute of it on E.  It was an interview with James Cameron - that poor woman with him needs a feed of spuds.

LOL! Tayto I said earlier that she was so bony! The dress she was wearing did nothing for her

I thought that too Tates!  Can you get coverage over there tonight now for the ceremony?

Here we go...

.................and they say the telly puts 10lbs on you.  What does she look like in rl?  Whoever recommended that dress to her.  
Yer man doing the interviews was useless as well.

We'll get highlights tomorrow Xochi.  I'm listening on the radio at the moment.

I thought Matt Damon would have got that

I was flipping between Sky1 and E!... Yep... the E! bloke was rubbish... the Sky1 coverage was marginally better I think.

What was the name of the film about Tolstoy again? A friend of mine was only talking about it yesterday...

Oscar for best supporting actor: nominated are Matt Damon (Invictus), Woody Harrelson (The Messenger), Christopher Plummer (The Last Station), Stanley Tucci (The Lovely Bones) and Christopher Waltz (Inglourious Basterds)


Winner: Christopher Waltz

Oh dear. In the past Christopher Waltz has done the longest speeches ever!
(But I believe they have limited them to 35 seconds this time.)

Yes, Brisket they have limted to 45 seconds. I hate those awful blubbering ravings that pass for speeches!

Thanks Orchid... The Last Station... that was the one.

I think Inglorious Basterds was a shoe-in for lower awards. Honouring their war heroes and all...

Best animated feature : nominated are Coraline; Fantastic Mr Fox;
The Princess And The Frog; The Secret Of Kells; Up....



The Winner is: UP

Best original song: nominated are: Almost There (The Princess And The Frog - Randy Newman); Down In New Orleans (The Princess And The Frog - Randy Newman); Loin de Paname (Paris 36 - Reinhardt Wagner and Frank Thomas); Take It All (Nine - Maury Yeston); The Weary Kind (Crazy Heart - Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett)....





The Winner is: The Weary Kind (Crazy Hear/Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett)

No worries hun, I guess the war hero's made the day.

They're whizzing through the awards tonight, aren't they?

Yes! Usually they drag it all out forever. I'm liking this

Himself just came in and was rabbiting on but I shut him up in time to hear the Best Animated Feature.  We were in for the voice overs for that.  Brendan Gleeson and Mick Lally.     
UP won.   (whatever that was)

Doesn't Claudia Winkleman look a fright though!

My young nephews who get to see all such films rate UP very highly... if that's not tautology!

claudie  witsherface  looks like a piccaso painting imo

Way too much Kohl pencil around the eyes, she looks a bit strange!

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
