I don't think so.  I believe that Ryan Phillippe is straight.

What??  Chad's not??  Hope springs eternal. ;)

Or should something about Hope falls be between where she summers and winters?  

But I am indeed rambling.  

Maybe Hope falls in the Ramble.  

Wonder if the West Coasters will get us to page 40 tonight!

Good Morning!

Well, once I got up and stretched my legs a bit, I realized my right leg had sort of locked up again.  Actually, it sort of feels like when I had sciatica in my left leg.  Hmm...  Guess it's my body telling me, "Start exercising again!"

In the meantime, I think I'm gonna do some stretches and then put my feet up - literally - and get some sleep.  Yes, I shall have to WUSSBURGER, but this is also the week that I need to start getting my body clock back on the "early" schedule in preparation for the Lestat orchestra rehearsals which start at 9:00am(?!?!?!?!).  So...

I really did have a swell time tonight.

Goodnight.

I mentioned Sweeney briefly, but I'll have more to say in the notes.

Well, I just hauled my cookies all the way back to page 8 - was that "pretty okay" post the only mention so far of the SWEENEY production?

By the way, BK, did you ever have a chance to send us that package of CD's?

I probably should have asked that in an email to be more efficient, but I figured what the heck, it adds another post.  :)

Time for me to wussberger.

Goodnight, George and Dakota.  

If the West Coasters can't get to page 40, maybe you can try for something easier, like 1200 posts.

My interest in the Awards USED TO BE for song and score and I've collected most songs nominated since 1940 and of course many of the earlier ones too.

I still haven't recovered for Eminem's win the other year. To me it was not a SONG at all.  This year's! . I have the CD already ordered!! I'll probably never play it more than once - as with  Eminem's  and Bjork's efforts.

Acadamy rules say something about if not enough "worthy" songs then there will only be three nominees.  Were any of these "worthy"? I hate to think what the unworthy songs sounded like!

All those great song by Randy Newman that didn't win in the past!  What a waste when you look at this year.

I've not seen most of the films nominated so I really can't comment on my view of the performances.
 
I do have "The Constant Gardener" and was certainly pleased to see it get an award.  I've also seen "March Of The Penguins" -  with Mr Freeman filling in for the orginal French.

Eminem's "music" is not music... It is noise

Of the technical award films, I enjoyed the work on "Narnia" but did not see "King Kong".

I think "War Of The Worlds" missed out.. It missed the boat for me as a movie entirely.

I'm always pleased to see a "Child Star" come into the bigtime.  I'd loved Jodi Foster's "Little Girl..." and had felt the same about the early movies of Reece Witherspoon. So many child stars get left along the way.

I was pleased that BM received the award for the score. Compensation for the ineligibilty (quite technical) of the song that would have otherwise won!

I was not impressed with War of the Worlds at all. I did like Narnia.

I agree... Many do get left behind and Reese has matured as an actress..

OzDerek would have been thrilled so see his favourite actor win the oscar.   He also really liked "Crash".

Last year's winner for "Score" was certainly IMHO one of the best in many a year. "Finding Neverland". I'm not a fan of Mr William's scores which to my mind could be interchangeable.  (I know I Know I know).

I bought "War of the Worlds" (used) but haven't watched it yet.  I suppose I will...someday.

We made special efforts to go and see "WofW" and "Charlie & the Choc Factory" on the big screen - both big disappointments.
