I couldn’t say up for the entire Oscar broadcast last night because I wanted to swim this morning. Thank goodness the best part is available on the internet:
(for some reason I can’t make this video embed on my site, and I’m not going to spend more than two minutes trying to figure it out. If you’d like to see who died in the past year, like I do, you can go to this site and scroll down a little.)
I was also heartened that this was the first year where all the “best song” nominees actually had something to do with the plot of the movie, and none were written by Randy Newman. Not that I have anything against him, but I think he’s had his due. Also, the winning song from “Once” is so beautiful that whenever it plays I fall in love with the first thing I see, which is why you will probably see a lot of random posts about my lovely, wonderful, supportive toaster oven.
