Kieran, here taking a brief respite from the holidays (read: Oscar season) to wish a very happy birthday to Julianne Moore. Between her tribute to Todd Haynes at the Gotham Awards and her very funny “Billy on the Street" segment it’s a good week to celebrate the Academy Award-winning actress. Just glancing at her filmography, she’s gifted the world of cinema with so much to be thankful for and she’s surely got a lot more left to give. It’s far too rare that the great actors of any generation also become Oscar winners. Before Still Alice many had assumed it was over for Moore in terms of ever copping the statue. Seeing her ascend the stage to collect her Academy Award earlier this year, it never felt so good to be so wrong.
So, on this, Julianne’s birthday...
Appropriate Ways To Celebrate
1. Relax with some yoga.
2. Bake a cake. Watch the sifting flour. "Isn't it pretty? It's just like snow."
3. Plant a garden and watch the beautiful, "fecund" space flourish.
4. Sing Aimee Man to yourself in your car.
5. Lounge by the pool while looking fabulous.
6. Bond with your co-workers.
7. Make sure your makeup is on point.
8. Have a party with friends. Just leave any confessions of infidelity until after the party...
9. Have a good cry after everyone has left.
10. And fix yourself a drink.
Happy Birthday Julianne!
