sandra 8 March 2010
There was a time when 2 great friends of mine had a top OSCAR party every year in Dublin. Interested types gathered, voted, bet money on who’d guess most winners, drank and watched the ceremony till dawn. If you won, you got the pot of money BUT ALSO your name was printed on the little plaque on the front of the fake OSCAR held in the house (my name went on one year and I have never experienced anything like that thrill!) HOWEVER those 2 BAGSES (Stephen and Dee – I’ll name them) moved to London to further their careers and the tradition died out, not least because no one else has/had the channel piped in to watch the thing on. So, first thing this morning chez moi the internet was checked for winners and I was truly delighted to see Sandra Bullock there – she is just magnificent and what a nice woman too and GORGEOUS – the frock was a triumph (and there were some unforgivable howlers out on that Los Angeles carpet on the night, n’est pas???). I think she is a really wonderful actress and she has just proved the point that you CAN do comedy and be equally good at the straight stuff – I thank her for pointing it out so brilliantly in her work – that is all…
(well, all except that I’ll wave to ye from the sofa on GMTV in the morning…)
