I was surprised because the dresses were mostly gorgeous this year. What happened?? I haven’t seen so many beautiful dresses in years. I loved them! I also enjoyed the way the men looked this year.

(Yes, Artful, I know a lot is going on in the world, and I always read your entire comment and learn from it, but you have to feed your heart as well as your mind.)

I loved that some of the winners thanked their mothers, and that the winner Jared Leto did so and also mentioned Venezuela and Ukraine, because people who talk about Ukraine usually don’t mention Venezuela.

I haven’t seen any of the movies, and probably won’t, but I am amazed at the clip they showed of Leto as the almost skeletal “woman”.

And I loved, absolutely loved seeing Benedict Cumberbatch on stage with the others in the cast of the winning movie, looking around like a little kid at a toy-and-candy store. (I’ve watched him with appreciation for years, and his Sherlock is brilliant! If they’re smart, they’ll make him the next Dr. Who after Capaldi. Yes I know this is Off Topic, but I’ve watched Dr. Who for 50 years and This Is Important.)

I think that Ellen was funny all the way through, and original, McConnaughey’s acceptance speech was worth seeing–and took guts, in front of that crowd–and it was interesting to hear his “chase” idea. And I didn’t hear Kim Novak’s name so I kept looking at the woman and wondering who she was. You’re right, Neo–it scares me, and finding out that that person was Novak makes me inexpressively sad.

And at last I figured out who Angelina Jolie reminds me of when she is herself and not a character–Loretta Young. Elegant and feminine. Like in the Bishop’s Wife.

Thanks Neo, it was fun to talk about something light and fluffy for a few moments.

I’ve actually seen “Captain Philips” and enjoyed it a lot. The Somali who was nominated for best supporting actor did a fine job. Too bad more people didn’t like that movie. Too much violence, I guess.

I never care who wins what. It’s a big deal for Hollyweird, though. Gives a view into how deeply shallow they are.

Aloha to all.

As I’ve said countless times before, I write about a lot of things on this blog. Some are trivial or just fun. Life consists of all sorts of things: serious and less serious. I write about what interests me, and sometimes what amuses or entertains me.
That’s the way it is and the way I plan it to continue.

It’s no wonder his acceptance speech was good. 🙂

Russia’s fleet has given Ukrainian forces in Crimea until 3am to surrender or face a military assault, according to Interfax. The ultimatum, from the commander of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet Alexander Vitko, has a base in Crimea where Russian forces are now in control.
