Oscar night lies ahead, and while I know many of you out there don’t care, I like to keep up with what’s going on in the film world, as well as in the literary world.
In the next few days I will be delievering my opinion on the matter simply because I often disagree with the Best Picture winner and this year am determined to have my say, even if it is in a small arena!
BRING ON THE OSCARS! AND SO HELP YOU VOTING PEOPLE IF MY CHOICES AREN’T YOURS!!!
Also on a sidenote, it is so weird how many people have posted something about Valentine’s day – it is a testament to what may be the biggest marketing achievement ever.
Mistress Cynic will have to cast a shadow of gloom over this matter. I’m NOT going to be omigodding over Halle Berry’s Prada dress. Nor am I going to resist the temptation to cackle, witch-like when someone does a Gwyneth – ”I…I…th-thank you sooo much!”
And as those silicone ’stars’ parade down the red carpet, I will happily flick paperclips at the ceiling. Or watch Countdown. Because frankly, I couldn’t give less of a flying fuck if I tried. It’s all so superficial.
Bo-ring. The Oscars have lost all credibility for me. When you have Judi Dench and Kiera Knightley nominated in the same category, you know something ain’t right. Makes you want to get blind drunk and eat your TV.
Okay. Done now.

lol while i must admit I am somewhat sceptical myself, I do find that there is always a film or two worth seeing.
And I must protest about this keira knightly bashing which seems to have become de rigeur, because she can be quite good! x
