Refreshments were a success. Everyone wanted a brownie bite.

Leonard missed me today. He is all over me.

You gave him a sweet send-off. I am sure he appreciated it.

After doing a bunch of nothing yesterday, I feel all tired today. Had a nap. But I could have another.

Jane, I think you recommended The Worst Hard Time. It's very powerful.

TCB · « **Reply #95 on:** April 25, 2021, 04:19:16 PM »

Well, this is a red-letter day. Not only is it the much postponed Oscar Night from some train station, but, also, the first time that BK has devoted a very looooong paragraph to VW's in DB's.

It actually sounded like a conversation that George and I might have had, but not so this time.

Page 4, at 4:20 pm on the West Coast! A good sign.

No Oscars for me.

I think so. I hope that also means you are glad to be reading it.

It was very entertaining.

Apparently, despite the click-bait e-mail, when you click "Go" to watch, it asks for your sign-in info for your TV provider. Figures. I hope this tanks so bad. But let's hear the winners and how it went.

Yes, and it manages to be entertaining while covering some devastating topics. It is interesting, as the author points out in his introduction, but stories of the Dust Bowl generally focus on the folks who left for California, whether it's The Grapes of Wrath or the more recent Four Winds. But this is strictly about the ones who stayed. I don't know who had it worse.

Gratuitous post No. 103!

So, I'm hoping this 5-hour version of Les Miz wins the Oscar for best foreign language film of 1934.

John G. · « **Reply #105 on:** April 25, 2021, 05:16:08 PM »

The revolutions scenes were just wonderful, unfocused except for a sense of the violence involved. I would hate to think it, but I think some of the horses might have been injured in the filming. They were that naturalistic.

I had never read anything like it. I think the title of the book is perfect. Non-fiction can be boring, I could barely put this book down.

So, the Oscars have started.

And The Father has won an award for screenplay. So, did Promising young Woman, which signals, at least IMO, a win for Carey Mulligan later.

Jane · « **Reply #108 on:** April 25, 2021, 05:36:12 PM »

I have seen few of the movies nominated.

Jane · « **Reply #109 on:** April 25, 2021, 05:36:25 PM »

I don't have a strong feeling regarding any of the nominations.

TCB · « **Reply #110 on:** April 25, 2021, 05:42:14 PM »

Apparently, there is no limit to acceptance speeches tonight. I hope they finish before GOOD MORNING AMERICA starts tomorrow.

I did like some of the fashion shots I saw. Regina King looked lovely, Amanda Seyfried was a red hot knockout and Andra Day was all glam in gold. But Colman Domingo stole it from the ladies. His bright pink suit looked perfect on him.

Daniel Kaluuya won Best Supporting Actor for JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH.

Costume and Make-up both went to MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM

John G. · « **Reply #119 on:** April 25, 2021, 06:09:03 PM »

Ann Roth won for her Ma Rainey costumes. Apparently, she's nearing 90. Good for her.
