Finally got round to watching the Oscars last Friday (even though we all know by now who the winners were), as I like to watch the whole ceremony. My highlights included
James Franco- It has been well documented that Mr Franco was not the most popular of hosts, somewhat mismatched with Anne Hathaway and portraying an air of detachment to the whole proceedings, but his facial expressions were a treat and his almost stoner like presence was a welcome relief from Hathaway's try hard giddy girl routine. That and seeing him in a white leotard during their skit of Black Swan was a hoot.
Luke Matheny- The director and winner of Best short film for God of Love gave the sweetest most genuinely excited speech of the evening.
Kirk Douglas- It was slightly awkward watching him try to move around the stage but the old timer still showed a cheeky charm.
Cate Blanchett's dress- Best of the evening for me, just the right side of quirky.
It is the Bradford Film Festival this week and there are many screenings and talks going on. I missed out on going to the Terry Gilliam talk, however tomorrow I will console myself with the screening of the classic 'Labyrinth' which they are showing on the big screen in all its glory. Expect Graham and I will be singing "You remind me of the babe" all the way home.....
