I haven't seen any of them either! I'd love to make some choices but I can't really!

It is the first time a fellow Spanish gets nominated for best actress. I would live to see Penelope Cruz get it; but I believe Hellen Mirren for "The Queen" has all the tickets on this one.

I saw The Queen and Helen mirren was terrific.
Little Miss Sunshine was the funniest movie I saw this year, and Alan Arkin was a riot as the perverted grandfather.
didn't see any others.

I will second that, i think she is one hell of a good actress.
While a tiger eyed its prey and an eagle raged in a thunderous sky a river of darkness fell upon a burning sun and the wolf cried tis a time to die, thus did the angels weep as power and triumph in those golden eyes did creep.

Well, the Oscars are done. If you watched it, can you comment in any particular award or moment that was surprising or significant for you?

To me the highlight was to have three pillars of modern filmmaking (Coppola, Lucas and Spielberg) on stage handing out the Best Director award to Martin Scorsese. I just wonder if they look at the envelope in advance to prepare that one…
