The difference between Ray and me: I love the Oscars; he hates them. I find them inspiring; he finds them “snoozeville.”
He is waiting for us to watch True Detective, which I also love. Still, call me a sap, but I love the Oscars. I love seeing storytelling honored, along with all the people who bring those stories to life.
I also find heartfelt Oscar acceptance speeches truly touching. Which include those by Jared Leto and Lupita Nyong’o, for best supporting actor and actress.
I am also very happy that Spike Jones won for best original screenplay for Her since this was a truly original concept.
I haven’t seen the best foreign film, The Great Beauty, but Ray has and he wants to take me to see it tomorrow night. I am happy about that.
Best director, Alfonso Cuarón, for Gravity. I must say that he seems like a very sweet and genuine person.
And I am delighted that Cate Blanchett won best actress. Her performance in Blue Jasmine was superlative.
Go Matthew McConaughey! Well deserved, especially coupled with Mudd. I am happy.
Twelve Years a Slave. Excellent. Hurray.
Ray is now happy the Oscars are over. I am happy we saw every minute.
Now for True Detective. If you haven’t been following this HBO series, then find it and watch. It is outstanding.
