The Oscars
Okay I am gonna stick my neck out as I do every year. Despite the fact that I will be teaching on Monday I will indeed be staying up all night to watch The Oscars, fuelled by cocktails and trashy snacks.
Best Actor - Forrest Whitaker (I would love to see O'Toole win this but I don't think he will)
Best Actress - Helen Mirren
Best Supporting Actor - Eddie Murphy (or Alan Arkin)
Best Supporting Actress - Jennifer Hudson
Best Film - Lets be honest any of them could win this I think The Queen will get it
Best Director - Martin Scorsese (I would love Paul Greengrass to get it)
Best Foreign Film - Pans Labyrinth
Best Documentary - An Inconvenient Truth
However, what would make this year better is if we have lots of surprising it might hide the fact that this is a dreadful year for films.

The Americans Have Landed
Dear All
Well Scott and Ed are here from the States and they have brought with them Scotts mum and her partner.
I am always amazed how long the time is since I saw them last and how much I missed them with out even really noticing. They make me laugh till it hurts and as a glass half empty kinda gal that's not an easy feat. I am so pleased they have come for a visit, even if it is too short a stay.
Good to have friends like this on the planet!!
