Agree. These dunderheads should watch Mirren's acceptance speech at the Oscars to see how it's done. No stuttering, wailing, sobbing, frantic exclamations of surprise. You walk up there with a modicum of dignity, quietly say a few thank-yous and walk off like an adult.

What a strange choice. I kind of love this song myself.

Ida was a very fine film and I feel like if it was American it would have more nominations. I was given to understand it might have something to do with the nomination procedure, though.

Can't argue with Jenny Lewis cooing away on 'Silver Lining'.

Fuck yeah, Kate & Anna McGarrigle!

It's pretty bad. Are the proceeds going to protect First Nations' land rights or something at least?
