CALL ME SNAKE

As I said the other day, I don’t have much use for the Oscars mainly because they are meaningless. Only certain kind of movies  are named Best Picture (hint: they’ve gotta be “big”) and only certain kinds of performances (never subtle and having some infirmity never hurts either) get you a Best Actor. Still, there was one award I was very happy about–the winsome couple from “Once” (Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova) winning for their thoroughly enjoyable song, “Falling Slowly.” Both certainly overcame great odds to get there, and I for one was thrilled to hear about it.
