No, we haven't seen all the Oscar movies yet and while we don't think an acceptance speech should be a platform for a political or social agenda, these statements do make the speeches more interesting (without them, they would just be thank you's!)<br />xxoo<br />C + CThe Buzz Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08338886753209532597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-67171049844277582312015-02-26T13:47:55.799-08:002015-02-26T13:47:55.799-08:00Ay Carumba!!

I saw birdman and it left me extremely uncomfortable. I left the oscars for Downton Abbey sorry to say! I dont go to movies by myself but will eat dinner by myself no problem. With 3 girls Beauty and the Beast was a staple in our house and we saw the broadway performance as well. Barbar Streisand and THe Way we Were truly reminds me of my Mother!

But loved it because I love sitting back and watching people and trying to figure out their stories! And usually always wound up meeting people and enjoying another meal with new friends.<br />So...when I came home, I naturally never thought a thing about eating out alone. Still do and enjoy it immensely. Same thing with movies. I love going by myself and losing my thoughts of everyday life to the screen! AND eating the whole bag of popcorn all by myself!!jmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455394380447484981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-84658333643510076892015-02-25T13:28:34.983-08:002015-02-25T13:28:34.983-08:00I need to write this in little tiny letters and th...I need to write this in little tiny letters and then whisper it. I don't watch the oscars and I haven't seen any of the movies. Yes, I know that I used to work in Hollywood. (really did) but I think I must have gotten completely burned out on the whole celebrity thing.

BAHhhahahahahaha! Totally hilarious and true! <br /><br />I may have mentioned this to you before, but since I'm losing my mind lately, just listen again if I have . . . Finding Vivian Myer was a great documentary. I was interested because of the photography theme, but there's so much more to this fascinating tale. It was nominated in some category, and I need to check it out to see if it won anything. <br /><br />Great Hodgepodge.

I only give them slack when the reason they are getting the award is for work that features their political/social agenda. Nah..I take that back.

I really prefer that none of them speak at all.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245655613353027615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-69605025228656879902015-02-25T08:32:08.088-08:002015-02-25T08:32:08.088-08:00You're so funny and not one bit stuffy like so...You're so funny and not one bit stuffy like so many blogs!!!!
