(photo courtesy of washingtonpost.com)I don't know about all of you, but I am on Oscar hangover from last night and today's newscasts. I will choose to skip over the winners (because I'm sure you and I have both heard them 100 time over on CNN today), but instead let me touch on a few details.
Penelope Cruz winning best supporting actress was exciting as hell for me to see. I saw Vicky, Christina, Barcelona at a cute artsy theater in my college town with a friend this past fall and fell in love with the movie as a whole. If you haven't seen it, go see it, and you will love it. It shows the complexity of relationships in today's world in such a brutal light that it's refreshing. An ex told me via text message once that Cruz's character, Maria Elena, reminded him of me. Although it's a definitely stretch (I'm not that crazy people), maybe there's an Oscar in my future too.
On a different note, as exciting as it was to see Heath Ledger's family receive the best supporting actor award on his behalf, was anyone else a bit disappointed not to see Matilda (his daughter with actress Michelle Williams) accept it, as she is the designated recipient?
Finally, let me share this hilarious (and awkward) red carpet interview with LiLo regarding the Oscars. Why so fidgety, Lindsay?
