The 3 best things to happen in my gritty, cold weekend:
3. Julia Roberts accepting her Oscar. The adrenaline rush was obvious but
her grace showed her to be a warm and generous queen of the moment.
2. Stephen Soderberg's acceptance speech wherein he thanked everyone who
does something creative. He repeated a line that has a lot of meaning for
me: "Without art, life would be unbearable." (Fredrich Neitzche?)
1. Hibbing Minnesota's own Bobby Dylan. As expected Bobby performed a song
via satellite hook up from Australia. The surprise was that his acceptance
speech was both detailed and lucid. Go Bob!
All the best,
Lama
