I think I've seen just about every Oscars show since then...except for last night's. Hell, 4-5 years ago my TV cable went out in the middle of the broadcast, but strangely not the internet cable. I got on my PC and within minutes I managed to find the Oscars streaming live (and probably illegally) from a Latin American website, and I watched them that way.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-62982911075212888092013-02-25T14:40:34.281-05:002013-02-25T14:40:34.281-05:00Thanks.

Getting out in the sun and moving a little snow for a storm like this isn't that bad (relatively.)Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-6576317401935335842013-02-25T14:23:22.894-05:002013-02-25T14:23:22.894-05:00For a cinephile to have a power cut during the osc...For a cinephile to have a power cut during the oscars, wow, that's not good!<br /><br />I agree Paul Rudd and M McCarthy failed. I liked Captain Kirk, and cell phone joke about Lincoln/DDL. Flight as puppet show amused me too. Could have done without all that dancing, Dream Girls and Chicago stuff.<br /><br />I got 17/21 right (I didn't do short film predictions)<br />Was surprised Les Mis won for make-up, The Hobbit deserved that for me. I also had Production Design,David O. Russel,and Riva wrong.

You pics look beautiful, but I'm sure it's a bit of a pain to have that much snow.Retro Houndhttp://www.retrohound.com/noreply@blogger.com
