Oscar Update



So I don't mean to brag or anything, but I have always guessed the Original score and best Foreign language film correctly and tonight was no different! Seriously, I have never gotten it wrong once. And speaking of "Once" it won the best original song! I saw them (Glen Hansard, from the Frames and Marketa Irglova) in concert I was standing in the second row at the 9:30 club) and they blew me away. It was haunting and inspiring. Their voices go so well together. I highly recommend seeing this MOVIE and BUYING THE SOUNDTRACK! It has won an oscar (for the song "once") and it has won the audience award at the Sundance Film Festival among about 15 other awards, you can see here ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0907657/awards ). The film is inspiring and simple.
Tonight I did okay as far as the ballot went, I got 16 out of 24 correctly! Woo-hoo! And did anyone else notice that they brought Marketa back on stage so she could give her speech! I have never seen that before in my life! The Europeans definitely sweeped this year!
