it's not life that matters but the journey...

I'm sitting here watching the pre-oscar show and enjoying the gorgeous people - Marisa Tomei is so cute, and unbelievable that she's older than me and looks so hot! and Frank Langella, yummy for an old man! and I saw all the kids and the cast from Slumdog - so exciting to see them Meryl Streep looks gorgeous! Haven't seen Kate yet, but I saw Josh Brolin - he looks great too! And Sean Penn is there with Robin Wright - guess they are still friends, how sweet! I'm much more excited for the Oscars tonight since I saw two more movies this weekend, actually three, which have nominations!

Yesterday morning, I watched The Reader , and I thought it was a beautifully filmed, beautifully acted, and a very interesting story.

In the afternoon yesterday I watched The Visitor , and I have to say, I enjoyed this film even more than The Reader .

well it's almost time to go and watch the awards. can't wait to see Hugh Jackman, though I'm not so keen on the musical numbers they are promising with Zak Efron and what's her name from High School Musical. and Peter Gabriel refused to perform his song from Wall-E because they limited him to 1 1/2 minutes. for a 6-minute song! oh well... the music is all medleys anyway. and it's part of the whole night - parts will be great and parts will be boring... so on with the show!
