He invited me to go with him to the Oscars and I couldn't think of something that I could be less interested in let alone spend the $$ to fly out to LA and spend the weekend. I'm just hoping he hits it big with one of them so we can go build the caribbean resort I have been tinkering with for the last 7 years waiting on him to commit to funding the development. So far, not so good.

So he'll fund a resort but not a plane ticket?

Thanks to Allanon for keeping everyone updated with the Oscar winners.

Are they trying to make everybody hate "Gone with the Wind" or something? "Hit the Road, Jack" would be better get off the stage music.

He just offered the ticket, guess my company isn't that valuable to include the plane ticket and lodging. Besides, he will make money on the resort and casino, especially if they legalize online gaming as the island is a US territory. He already owns the 2300 acres so it is just about when he starts. 1.5 miles of shoreline with a 600 +/- acre valley that can hold three hotels of varying character/price point and ridgeline residences 800 feet up with views all the way to St. Thomas and St. John on a clear day. Former Rockefeller property. Considering it will take 3 to 4 years to design, permit, and construct. I am thinking he needs to get started

Didn't see it. Until I do, I'm very disappointed neither Moonrise Kingdom or Zero Dark Thirty one that award.

Waiting to hear what my daughter thought of the whole night. She has been wrapped up in this event since she was 14, hosting a party at our home every year. Now she's away at film school. I imagine she'll have some strong opinions.

Strange, both you and I share the same views on Moonrise Kingdom as we discussed this upon release. I saw Django and do not believe that it deserved this award. If it was full of Tarantino twists and turns as usual, then yes, it may have deserved this award. But Django was a lot like Argo to me. Both good films that are must see's, but both are kind of 'you know what's going to happen, and then it happens' type of films. No plot twists at all. Nothing about Django jumped out and grabbed me the way that Moonrise did.

I've seen every film nominated for Best Picture and in my opinion Silver Linings Playbook should have won it from that group. That was a refreshing film that combined real life problems with comedy. Couple that with 4 brilliant acting performances by the leads and it was fantastic. But the true best picture in my mind was Moonrise Kingdom.
