   Kudos indeed; she was magnificent in her acceptance speech! I didn’t watch the Oscars, but I did receive a phone call just before their performance to watch; I also tuned in to this portion of the show. I thought it was interested because the usually long-winded Glen didn’t really talk very long. I really hate when award shows do that…shame on the Academy. I don’t know if it was Jon Stewart’s idea to bring her back out, but if it was, kudos to him as well.

   Jon Stewart – a class act for making that happen. I am really excited that they won the Oscar – it was well deserved.

   I posted a review of Hansard and Irglova’s recent concert in Portland, a Once movie review and also a bit about the Oscars on my blog. You’ll just have to scroll down on the right side and click on the “Glen Hansard” label to find all of it. http://isorski.blogspot.com/

   Joe, kudos indeed. I was so excited and I thought their performance was excellent as well.

   Isorski, yeah I am not sure if it was Jon’s idea or not but he is a class act. I will have to check out your blog for those reviews. :)

   I really, really loved this acceptance speech. It’s the kind of thing that makes me want to grab all my friends and make shorts again. I had mixed feelings about Once as a film, but I really loved the music and the people in it. I think now that I’ve had a chance to reflect upon it I had mixed feelings because I wanted more of that love story. Those two are just amazing people… I hope they’re up to something else behind the scenes.

   At last a decent song wins Best Song. Normally it is some Disney schlock.
   And I think No Country For Old Men is by far the best film to win Best Film for a long time. Although I still would have picked There Will Be Blood.

   Stewart’s class move (his idea or not) to Irglová was a remarkable moment in an otherwise unremarkable Oscars. This song brought down my Oscar pool score (I had bet on the academy being stupid and tasteless as usual) but I can’t begrudge them that. It’s a nice song and for more worthy of recognition than any of that Enchanted crap.

   Yeah I was kind of surprised that it won as well.
   That is funny Mentok we do the same thing, except we tied the shorts are what get me every time!
