The 2007 Academy Awards

It's Oscars night or, rather, Oscars day over here! And I'm here at work and not a home watching the coverage live as I used to in the past years. (Oops, I'm not supposed to be spending time at work writing this post either, am I?) I don't have much of a choice since I have classes this morning. Of course, I'll be able to watch the replay tonight but knowing who the winners are will take away all the excitement naturally. All I can do right now is read (and react) about the winners on the news as it comes. (Wow! Helen Mirren's just won for best actress!)

I'm not rooting for anyone in particular. Haven't seen any of the nominated movies/performances at all as I rarely get to go watch a movie nowadays. It would be fun though to see how Ellen Degeneres does as a host. She seems to be really funny and I enjoyed her vocal performance as Dory in Finding Nemo. But I guess nobody will ever come close to Billy Crystal as host to the Oscar awards. I always look forward to his opening medley of the films nominated for best picture.

(Wow--again! Martin Scorcese's finally won as best director. I'm happy for him.)
