I have been a mobile germ factory for the past few weeks; but what the hell; let us see what my fevered brain can come up with.
WHEN THE MAGIC HAPPENS; IT HAPPENS
Somehow, nostalgia feels right, so The Artist as best movie....
A HAPPY MAN
and going with film/director link, Michel Hazanavicius as best director.
Next, Big mistake by me
FIRST FRENCH WINNER-I THINK SO
A ROLE INSPIRED BY JOHN GILBERT-HERE WITH GARBO
POOR GEORGE- A FRONT RUNNER AT ONE STAGE
George Clooney gets my nod for The Descendants,
WHAT WILLIAMS GETS SO RIGHT IS MONROE'S TRAGEDY
and although Marilyn Monroe was ignored in real life, Michelle Williams is my slightly off the wall favourite for My Week With Marilyn. Afterall, it is the 50th year since Monroe's death, August 1962 .
ALMOST EERIE, ISN'T IT?
Also, two British historical figures in two years, think not. Wrong again- but why not ...
THEN...
THEN
...OR ESPECIALLY THEN
THE OFTEN INVISIBLE HELP
Octavia Spencer in The Help is just so fine, in spite of split vote, with Jessica Chastain. Hell, they all could have won.
It took nearly 50 years for THIS to evolve into...
THIS. WELL DONE
All the male supports are (very) good; I just want Mr Plummer to win so much.
COME BLOW YOUR HORN
Last shout for Woody Allen for Best Original Screenplay.
Well, I could be way off, blame it ,in that case, on the medication.
SHE LOOKS AS SUPRISED AS WE WERE-FUNNY SPEECH THOUGH!
If I'm not too feeble tomorrow, I'll do a follow up. Either way, enjoy the buzz.
FRANK-THESE CLAWS LOOK SHARP BECAUSE THEY ARE!
Hopefully, back to basics this coming week. In the meantime, I'm back to bed, armed with my Robert Goddard novel, a hot drink and Frank, the fairly faithful feline.
