Joshua’s recovered sufficiently

I ought to let you all know that my nephew Joshua, who was down the past whole week or so with the HFM disease, has recuperated sufficiently for him to go to school, although there’s a little debate going on between my mom and my sister over the wisdom of such a move.

I really don’t have much to say about this year’s Oscars except that it has been a very clean, controversial-less show.

Crash beats Brokeback but Ang Lee wins it for the Asians!

March 6, 2006 in Lights, Cameras & ACTION!!!

Finally, its all over, the 78th Annual Academy Awards comes to a close with Crash thumping Brokeback Mountain to win Best Motion Picture. So, as everyone had predicted, Crash came up tops and pulled off an upset win over Brokeback Mountain for the top accolade.

A testament to excellent writing

March 6, 2006 in Lights, Cameras & ACTION!!!

Both June and Johnny had passed away last year months apart from [...]

Another spot on prediction…

March 6, 2006 in Lights, Cameras & ACTION!!!

The winner for Best Cinematography is none other than Memoirs of a Geisha’s Dion Beebe, who’s captivating and beautiful shots of the lanscapes of Japan has to be seen to believe! This win proves that Dion Beebe is certainly one of the best in the business!
