Those "actors talk about movies" bits remind me of VH1 specials, except less funny and insightful.

Love the double entendre. But I'm glad my daughter went to bed already.

Meryl is overdue - and let's face it - to act AND try to be a convincing Maggie Thatcher is harder than to just act ;-) #oscars #stl

Her performance was good, but the movie wasn't great.

Charles - belated agreement on Iron Lady.

Is the dog in the Artist the same dog as in Beginners? Perhaps with a different haircut? #Oscars #stl

by mmeiners via twitter 2/27/2012 4:17:21 AM
Mike, the dog in "Beginners" is Cosmo. (Related to the Eddies on "Frasier.") In "The Artist" -- Uggie. Both Jack Russells.

If @jmitori wins the Oscars pool, she'll be glad she didn't change her best actor vote to Clooney when I told her to.

It may not have won the Oscar - but Hugo was a much better movie than The Artist (which WAS very good) But Hugo was a wonder. Am I bitter - you bet I am :-)

Whoever constructed Tom Cruise did an impressive job. #oscars #stl

Was that Jean Dujardin who picked up Uggie at the end of the acceptance?
