Oscars and all

[TheDuck]

I can remember living in SA when it was Oscar Time

grew up with the delight in knowing who had won at the Oscars, so it came as a bit of a 'nonplus' to see that I had missed last night's awards

Good to see Helen Mirren get an Oscar, it seems as though British acting is at a new high with Cate Blanchett being in the thick of things as well

edit: see quote “You don’t really know who’s going to win unless you are British, and then you know you've a pretty good shot.” – Ellen DeGeneres. [SIZE="1"]I suppose being able to act doesn't count, she is a horrid cardboard actor imo, as funny as a gun to the head[/SIZE]

And that Toole, Peter still keeps going .. never quite delivering a Laurence of Arabia type performance (but thent he parts are scarce)

yadda yadda


ps.. love this ...
Helen Mirren, holding a Union Jack which she had taken from the Sky TV interviewer, when asked if she had a “naughty side”: “Me, naughty? No, I am good through and through, I’m an Essex girl.”

[COLOR="Purple"]I like this bit: "Accepting her award, Dame Helen said: "For 50 years and more, Elizabeth Windsor has maintained her dignity, her sense of duty and her hairstyle.

"If it wasn't for her, I most certainly wouldn't be here - ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Queen." [/COLOR]

Must admit I liked that bit too - especially the hairstyle!

[COLOR="Navy"]:haha: It was quite brave of her to say it, but I think if the Queen changes her hairstyle the UK will collapse!
