Oscar Observations
Mar. 1st, 2004 12:32 pmRandom thoughts after watching the Oscars last night:
Sting played a hurdy-gurdy during the performance of "My Ain True Love" from Cold Mountain. I that may be the first time I've ever seen one played. Actually, it was a good night for music geeks, considering that the other song from Cold Mountain included a sacred harp choir, and "Belleville Rendezvous" featured a bicycle played as a percussion instrument.
Peter Jackson I think gets the prize for sweetest comment regarding what to do with the actual statues. He said he would put them in his kids' bedrooms, because they have had to deal with their parents working on the Lord of the Rings for their entire lives (the kids are 7 and 8). Awwww.
Apparently, the one person Keisha Castle-Hughes wanted to meet was Johnny Depp. Good choice!
Bill Murray referred to Sofia Coppola as a girl. She's thirty-two! She's made two movies! Her film was nominated for several Oscars, and won one! I think that was a little condescending of him.
