I believe at least one of these movies will be shown in Qatar.. and if people know that there's gonna be an award-winning movie like 'The Artist', people reading this post will be better informed and eager to watch this movie...
And maybe, some people will end up liking classic movies so much that they may just end up volunteering for the Doha Tribeca Film Festival... the response of many will, in turn benefit Qatar...
:)
Qatar! Lol! Wink! Or should they have Oscarliving.com? Hehehehehhe!

Thanks for the update speedysid..:)
Thanks Cryogenic :)
I guess delivering an emotional speech seems to be the norm! But there have been some nicem,, touching speeched.. If I remember correctly, the recipient for the best movie award winner last year thanked his mom in a really nice way... Its a chance for every winner to let the world know how and with whom they made it through...
But Brit,I find it annoying when people just ramble on..esp when there are multiple winners on stage...
Love the show. Hate the speeches ..!!! a wise man has said.
I say, Love QL, hate the mundane and pointless comments by a few who have to comment on every thread.
if jobless QLers have so much to say about everything under the sun, on every other thread, why not oscar winners???
I still remember the trailer park speech by hilary swank, who stood there in front of billions and cried in joy and had the guts to own up to her humble beginnings... for me the best part of the oscars are the speeches.... some of them are very inspiring. not to mention the laugh riot of the hosts ;-)
Speedysid, love your posts btw ;-)
Actresses crying and then Ellington us they were being spontaneous :0)
Seems Billy Crystal has pulled it off well.. haven't seen the show, but some friends were stating it....
Would love to see Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman team up again tho!!!
Love the show. Hate the speeches ..
