I actually watched the Academy Awards last night - for some reason I usually miss them. I loved the performance by Cirque du Soleil ... I've decided that I want to be an acrobat when I grow up ... I was also very impressed with the speech by Sidney Poiteir (he's got envious poise and a beautiful voice) ... I think I'll put a Poiteir biography on my wish list ... and I loved watching Halle Berry get the Oscar for Best Actress ... her's was my absolute favorite acceptance speech.

When they tried to pry her off the stage, she made that screeching Bilbo Baggins monster addiction-face when he Wants the Ring. It was a heavy, strange, grand-mal meltdown. America squirmed.I so wish I had seen that! Posted by: Stepan on March 25, 2002 7:34 PM
