He made me laugh several times, and he seems so comfortable up there.<br /><br />Sandy, I haven't seen THE ARTIST yet, but after watching that whole cast and the director, I can't wait to see it.<br /><br />Susan, thank you! And how cool that you had a drive-in.

I love the ones that show class and humor like a Christopher Plummer or a Colin Firth. I love winners who show their gratitude because gratitude is a hard commodity to find these days. And I am appalled by the actors who can not string an Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14080938779828043023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-1619941377995496742012-02-27T10:52:39.938-05:002012-02-27T10:52:39.938-05:00Dujardin is adorable.

He could win an award on the strength of his personality. <br /><br />Billy Crystal has always been a great host, and it's too bad he can't do it forever. <br /><br />I was terribly disappointed that Viola Davis didn't win. She gave such an amazing performance. Brava to her for not wearing a wig to the Oscars and opting for her Sandra Parshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403144248962124138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-54456432568420012752012-02-27T08:53:03.194-05:002012-02-27T08:53:03.194-05:00And three cheers for Billy Crystal, who was all an...And three cheers for Billy Crystal, who was all an Oscars host should be: funny, smooth, unassuming, and unobtrusive.Elizabeth Zelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944424094949207841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-3036577770387839242012-02-27T08:34:58.413-05:002012-02-27T08:34:58.413-05:00I'll agree that an acceptance speech should no...I'll agree that an acceptance speech should not be a wandering mishmash in which the recipient thanks God, his or her mother, and even the truck that brought coffee to the set. But we need to leave room for honestly spontaneous reactions such as Octavia Spencer's. Some movie professionals are much like writers--they can't believe they actually won, and they think it's Sheila Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165644581595919711noreply@blogger.com
