And The Oscars Goes To…

Special non-working holiday today for the celebration of the 22nd EDSA I People Power Revolution. So far, I am having a blast. I woke up around 9 A.M. and at once I switched my TV on and tuned in to VELVET channel to watch the 80th Annual Academy Awards. Since it was still the Red Carpet, I went outside to buy my breakfast. I had “taho” (soy with caramel and sago) and “hopiang baboy” (bread with pork filling).

Anyway, this is actually my first time to watch The Oscars Awards. I was really fascinated that it wasn’t boring at all. John Steward hosted the show and he did a brilliant job. He was witty and funny. At least he wasn’t over the top with his jokes.

There a lot of great movies nominated this year. I am intrigued with the movie, “La Vie En Rose.” I hope I could watch it soon. Moving along, I really enjoyed the musical performance of the movie, “Enchanted.” I was just disappointed that my favorite song of the movie, “So Close” did not win the Best Original Music. Sigh…

Best Picture: No Country For Old Men
