My Old Friend Oscar...

I realized today that it was the first time in many years that I didn't watch the Academy Awards live. Seeing as how they didn't start until 1am over here, and I had to be at work at 7:30, it didn't seem very practical. To be honest, I didn't really care about them much this year though...however, my two congratulations do go out to Alexander Payne and Charlie Kaufman for awards which were well-deserved. Both men are superb writers, and both Sideways and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind are excellent films which deserve a viewing if you have not already done so.

On an interesting side note, last year I was in Tampa during the Oscars, this year I'm in Oxford. I wonder where I'll be next year...........
