Hiya Again,

This is my delayed OSCAR blog.

OSCARS are quite a tradition with me and i have been taking the day off and setting my alarm for 2:30 am every year for the past 5 years. This year was no different but a little boring. Some of the choices were not up to the mark and frankly Ellen was a lousy host. Vacumming near the stars???? Well lady (if you can call her that) you said one should aim low and you did. You really did.

The winners.

Forest Whitaker : Okey Dokey. Peter O'Toole deserved it more. If any of you get a chance to catch Venus on DVD don't miss it. Just before the oscars he was on a chat show and when he was asked if he could imagine himself with a 18 year old girl, like in the movie, he said he could do more than imagine it. And when he was asked if he was doing something like it presently, he deserved an oscar for just the way he deflected the question with some offer of jujubes. I guess you had to see it to believe it but for 3 whole minutes he made a whole act of a simple box of jujubes. Masterful.

Helen Mirren: Her performence seems to improve with every viewing of The Queen. If i were Her Majesty, i would honour her right away for making the royal family sympathetic again. Maybe the royals in Nepal can learn a lesson or two from this.

Alan Arkin: Thank god Eddie Murphy did not win. He huffed and puffed and left as soon as he lost. Sore losers dont deserve to win. But Mark Wahlberg deserved it more.

Jennifer Hudson: Political Correctness is going to far. Ask yourself this: Would she have won if she weren't black? Can you compare her with Cate Blanchett and say she is better? See the injustice now?

Martin Scorcese: About time and quite a great gesture when 3 other great directors came out to present him the award. Lucas, Cuppolla, Speilberg & Scorcese on stage together. That is power.

Nicole Kidman looked great and is going from strength to strength. Tom on the other hand seems to be ripe for beginning a cult. Come to think of it, hasn't he already?

Staying on Hollywood, Can some one please bury Anna Nicole Smith?

WOW, i had heard of media power but nothing prepars you for how well the media have turned the death of a former surgically enhanced stripper cum gold digger into a 24 hour circus. Wow!

Great AD for Hard Rock Hotel

(look closely at the tummy)

By the way after yesterday's post my dear friend Sanjok, complained that the post made it seem like she wasn't having enough sex unlike her senior in-laws. To clarify this issue let me say that Peggy is a quiet and sweet guy but as Phoebe from FRIENDS would say, when he does have a go at it, he can rattle the headboards like a sailor on leave.

When I was on a holiday with them in Thailand a couple of years ago, they managed to rattle the headboards almost thrice a day every day for 25 consequitive days.

How do i know this? Sanjok kindly volunteered this information during dinner and with her in laws present too.

Didn't i say she was a simple naive girl?

Till next time
