It’s that time of the year again; a lengthy red carpet bombarded by the world’s greatest compilation of Botox’s and tummy-tucks.
Enchanting gowns, diamond earrings, glitzy stilettos and trendy hairdos: a who’s who of fashion icons – all vying for the perfect superstar who will showcase their latest work of art.
One of the disadvantages to watching the Oscars in Europe happens to be the time. Unfortunately, we will have to set the alarm clock for the live broadcast in the early hours of Sunday morning, or brave the repeat broadcast on Sunday evening – dubbed in Greek.
I wouldn’t mind watching the show (knowing who the winners are), but the thought of Daniel Day Lewis’ acceptance speech in Greek is off-putting enough.
I was fortunate enough to watch most of the nominated movies (ahead of the awards ceremony), predicting tonight’s winners as follows:
Best Picture: Argo
Best Director: Steven Spielberg
Best Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis
Best Actress: Jennifer Lawrence
Best Supporting Actor: Tommy Lee Jones
Best Supporting Actress: Anne Hathaway
Whatever the outcome, tonight’s show promises to be one of the most prestigious yet. I’m hoping that when my alarm clock greets me in the early hours of the morning, my mood will coincide with the energy levels on screen, and my stomach will be strong enough to accept a generous helping of heated popcorn and sugar-free jelly beans.
Enjoy the show...
Weight for me tomorrow. Paul
