You know I'm generally not too patriotic on this blog, but today, I'm compelled to be! Tonight, the Academy Awards will take place in the City of Angels and perhaps, a French film - the Artist - may win... Needless to say, most of the French are holding onto their berets with anticipation! We won't know before tomorrow morning's news (or your comments on PDP...) for it takes place at 4 am French time. Anyway, I hope you'll forgive me for not showing you Paris today, but today Silence is a virtue!
I haven't seen it. But after reading a few articles about it, I am pretty certain this will be the big winner at the Oscars.
ReplyDeleteNo news yet, although I just read that Woody Allen won for Best Screenplay for "Midnight in Paris."
ReplyDeleteThey won! woohoo!
ReplyDeleteThe Artist wins! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo!!!! Best Picture and Best Actor! Love it!
ReplyDelete"Formidable...merci beaucoup"
ReplyDeleteBravoooooo!
Vive la France!!!!
Congratulations! What a joyous group they are!
ReplyDeleteOui! Vive la France!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing we'll get another National Holiday out of this! Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the makers of the movie, "The Artist" for winning the "best picture" Oscar. From Los Angeles (suburb) to Paris, C'est magnifique!

Saw it, loved The Artist - they have rewarded for their creative courage *MAGIC*
ReplyDeleteI notice that Amazon are selling the soundtrack.
ReplyDeleteTrouble with these silent CDs is that they all sound, or don't sound, the same. Perhaps I'm just getting old.
Congratulations! The Artist won:-)
ReplyDeleteVive la France!! Like I said...."this makes up for not getting the 2012 Olympics...May actually be better!!"...great night, loved it!! A friend said..."of course there is a cute little dog in it...those French and their little dogs!!"...LOL!! Woof!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great night for France and French filmmakers! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteJean Dujardin was so cute when he made his little thank-you speech! In his words, Formidable! Victoire! Géniale!
ReplyDeleteAn historic moment -- Maurice Chevalier, Charles Boyer, and Gérard Depardieu have all been nominated for the "Best Actor" Oscar; but, charming Jean Dujardin has won it (1st time for a Frenchman). ChaChing $$$
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think Maurice Chevalier should have won it at least once. He was fabulous!
Congratulations, France!! I hope you get your national holiday (declared or undeclared)! I hope cast and crew make piles of money! And, I hope that cutie-pie Uggie gets his own sequel!!!
ReplyDelete@Carrie "Congratulations, France!! I hope you get your national holiday (declared or undeclared)" That's an idea!
ReplyDelete@Lois Maurice Chevalier?! Gee you must have been really young when you witnessed that!
Thank you everyone for your nice words. I guess I really have to see the film now!!
Woohoo!
