2019 oscars
We had several friends over
last night to watch the Oscars on TV. We chipped in an ante and awarded a pot of $$ to the
person who accurately guessed the most winners. Doug won the pot.
We didn’t necessarily vote
for our favorites. The point was to try to guess what winner Hollywood would
pick. Though I haven’t seen all the nominees, I was happy to see Green Book win Best Picture (though A Star Is Born is almost as good).
It’s inspiring to see that
five books were made into Oscar winning movies. Five more books were made into
movies that received nominations. Meg Wolitzer wrote the novel that became The Wife, one of my favorite movies of
the year. I was conflicted
about how to understand it. Seemingly the wife had been wronged, but had she?
Inspired by the Oscars, I’m
going to see Vice with a couple of
friends this week. Christian Bale, who plays Dick Chaney, looks nothing like
himself in the previews. The actor, when a young boy, starred in a movie I’ve
watched numerous times and still love, Empire
of the Sun.
