Oscars and other stuff.

I thought the Oscars were spiffy this evening. A few things particularly made me happy – Jon Stewart's hosting, the Once gang winning for best song, and Diablo Cody winning for her fantastic Juno script. Yay movies!

I drew caricatures for Leeza Gibbons' son's birthday party last night. It was a fun evening and I drew a LOT. Leeza was lovely and gracious, and the kids were as wild and crazy as you'd expect a bunch of 16ish folk to be. Upon asking how they wanted to be drawn, I had such varied requests as "skiing", "skateboarding", "playing the piano", "swimming", "finger (skate)boarding", "on the toilet", "as a falcon". Ah, the life of a party caricaturist!

I was ecstatic that Enchanted didn't take home the Oscar for best song. Couldn't a song from Across the Universe have been nominated? It would have been something to see Paul McCartney accept an award on John or George's behalf.

That would have been cool, but I think the song has to be created just for the movie. Did you see Once? I think you'd like it a lot.

I haven't seen it, but I thought the song was just great! It was nice to see the producers give air time to the girl for her "thank you's."
