2010 Oscars

Congrats to my daughter, who is now a member of the Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica! *wild applause*

Best Oscars ever last night! Seriously! I loved Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin. So funny. Also liked the written banter of the presenters, which wasn't awkward and silly like it can be. LOVED the constant references to and teasing of Gorgeous George, but his date was very fidgety and looked like she just wanted to get out of there. The introduction of the nominees of Best Actor and Best Actress by their friends and co-stars was amusing and touching, even though they took a hundred years. Loved that. The dance number was nothing short of amazing. I just thought the whole thing was entertaining and I was never bored.

NINE was nominated for art direction and costume design (along with best song and supporting actress), two things that bowled me over watching the film. I hated that everyone who won for Avatar went on and on about James Cameron's genius. I like James Cameron as much as the next person, but yeesh! Annoying! So I was all the more thrilled when Kathryn Bigelow won Best Director and Best Picture for The Hurt Locker.

I still need to see A Single Man, The Hurt Locker, Inglourious Basterds and Precious.

We just watched UP for the first time on Saturday night. It was great.
