Happy Oscar Eve!

Is this really happening?"
-Anne Hathaway winning the Golden Globe 

Yes, yes it (finally) is. The Oscars are less than 36 hours away. Eeeee! I'm SO eager for this film year to be over but I'm also just so excited for the Oscar ceremony. It's not that I'm a Seth MacFarlane fan -- the choice of host is always one of my areas of least interest -- but that so many categories are genuine cliff-hangers. Particularly these six (adapted screenplay, production design, supporting actor, director, and both sound categories!). Wheeeee


I was trying to finish up my own awardage but now I'm being yanked away by CNN International for an Oscar segment later this afternoon (stage fright!) so while I make a damn fool of myself talking Foreign Film please to enjoy these links and this video in my absence.

Deadline in 50 years time will Oscars 2012 still look as rich and argument worthy as Oscars 1962?

Ryan Gosling: "The movie? I haven't seen it." (Love it)

Only two quibbles with that really funny ("Bo Django") Mommie Dearest piece: 1) It wouldn't have been Eve Arden as Jimmy Stewart's mom in 1940, but Billie Burke, Helen Broderick or Alice Brady; 2) couldn't they find a pic of Madonna from 1989 (not 2009) to use?

Good point.

P.S. The CNN green room is a beige hallway

I must have read the ABC Australia link too quickly because, until I played it, I didn't realise it was an interview with you. Nice surprise.

I love the Alan Parker version of " Le Miserables" but how about Ken Russell's version with Liza Minelli as Fatine.

Paul: I was going for a "Madonna as French Whore" look, which was a lot harder to find than you might think!
