Tonight is Oscar night, and the only mention I'm going to make of them (I think) is that I very much enjoyed watching this short film nominee: Nacho Vigalando's 7:35 In The Morning. It's nothing profound, but it's very entertaining and very clever, in a very pitch black sort of way.
I didn't get to watch the Independent Spirit Awards this afternoon, but I was following along online intermittently, enough to know that most of the best films lost. Going along with this trend, the Dear Pillow crew didn't win - but I get the sense that the whole 'It Was An Honor Just To Be Nominated' saying rings especially true in this case.
Far better than any awards shows: I made up for missing The Wayward Cloud by watching Tsai Ming Liang's Goodbye Dragon Inn with Yen this evening. But more on that later.
I need to re-learn French.
