My Favorite Oscar Moments (there are 6):

When Tilda Swinton won for Best Supporting Actress, Michael Clayton; and her reaction to that win (One of my favorites for quite some time since, Orlando)

Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova winning for Best Song, "Falling Slowly," Once

Jon Stewart allowing Irglova to give her speech after being cut-off; and her speech

Cate Blanchett's wonderful reaction to Marion Cotillard's win for Best Actress (I adore both of them!!!)

Marion Cotillard winning for Best Actress, La Vie en Rose

Amy Ryan's listening to Cotillard's speech and her emotion (the moisture/tears in her eyes--lovely); who was sitting behind Cotillard (Another favorite of mine since I saw her on a televised version of recent Broadway production of THE WOMEN on PBS)

"I'm Not There"

Cate Blanchett as Bob Dylan. I read that she was in the movie a couple of months ago. One of my best friends sent me this clip:

I love the genuine awe-struck feeling she portrays through Dylan meeting Ginsberg.

How I long to work with and for Cate=) I think she is f'amazing.

Oh! And I am very excited for Elizabeth: The Golden Age to open in October!

Krzysztof Kieslowski's Color Trilogy, "Trois Couleurs: Bleu, Blanc, Rogue"

Three touching stories. Complex people. Coming together in the end. What is familiar survives. Love the recurrence of the old, crouched-over lady trying to put her glass bottle into the recycling bin. Beautiful and tender.

Juliette Binoche in Bleu (1993)


Zbigniew Zamachowski & Julie Delpy in White (1994)


Irene Jacob & Jean-Louis Trintignant in Red (1994)

"Notes on a Scandal"

Yes. Cate and The Dench. Watch out. Get it, mamas. Get it.
