I am a total sucker for Awards shows. I know that may seem strange to some of you but I just love them all. I always have. Most especially I love the Academy Awards. Even when I was young, I made a point to be sure I was home to watch the Academy Awards. Once Tom and I, along with a friend, were traveling along the Eastern shore, with our barely two year old daughter, and we made it a point to stop and check into a motel in time to tune in.

I have loved TV and movies since I was a small child. I delighted in siting in that large oversized room that was mostly dark watching a huge oversize screen with oversized actresses and actors capturing my young imagination and heart! I/we have graduated to streaming our films and TV and I am totally on board with my Stressless Chair, my remote, my pause button and a bathroom and kitchen close by. I am not sure I am ever going back to a theatre. We now have choices we never had before and I love that. I love my list of movies/TV that I have watched kept on lists both by month and also alphabetized. I love having subtitles ever present and I love my Apple ear buds so I don't disturb Jeanne. I do like the awards shows but not as much as Jeanne but we will both be watching tonight as they announced the next Oscar goes to!!!
We share s fear of The Wizard of Oz. I was terrified of the witch and had nightmares for years. I can still see some of the nightmares in my mind’s eye. Like you, I didn’t watch the movie again until I was an adult.
We watched the Oscar's last night and I think it was perhaps one of the best shows I have ever seen. Jimmy Kimmel did a really good job and the director did a great job of moving things along and keeping things going. While I didn't agree on every award all the winners were so deserving and the movies they represented were fantastic. Until next year and remember so many movies and so much time!!
I used to be interested in the Oscars. Loved seeing the stars and often saw some of the movies before the awards. Along the line, especially during and after covid, I lost interest. I haven't seen a movie in a long time.
I never miss them. And you would totally win the Academy Award for Best Sermons. Would you thank the little people? 😘
