There’s a commercial that keeps playing a song from the Robert Plant/Allison Krauss album.

They’re the stars of a great little movie called “Once” set in Ireland. I believe they hooked up during the movie and are a couple.

Tilda Swinton was good as the witch in Narnia. But there's something cold about her on-screen persona. Very cold.

With all the old clips they are showing it appears the Academy couldn’t get it all together after the writer’s strike ended.

Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova performed "Falling Slowly" from the movie "Once." The movie is supposed to be really great.

I liked their voices together, but couldn't understand a thing they were saying.

We’ve had some unusual cold rainy weather in Los Angeles on and off for the past twenty-four hours. It may or may not have affected the many hair problems.

I’m with you.

The last montage reminded me how much I despised “Unforgiven” and “Crash.”

The Best Picture montage forgot about Wings (1927). It was the only silent picture to win it.

I like Renee’s dress but she needs to quit working out and get a tan.
