Looking forward to the pretty dresses, silliness, movie clips, and short speeches in the Academy Awards broadcast tonight (if I can figure out how to get the tv to work...).
And I always appreciate and tear up at pix of the honored dead.
This still, from Le Voyage dans la lune (A Trip to the Moon), by Georges Méliès, featured in Hugo, makes me wince for the moon. Tonight's sky will hold a pointy crescent moon, with Jupiter and Venus in close proximity, but it won't put your eye out.

I was thinking F. Murray Abraham, not Kingsley.
Oooh, yes! Him, too! I wonder if he was also up for this role?
The "In Memoriam" part makes me teary, too....
I still haven't seen Hugo, but MUST. Some very good films this year....Beginners was so sweet.
The clips made me yearn to see Beginners!
