Once

I have to give props to the Oscars for actually getting something right last night.  They gave Frames frontman Glen Hansard the Oscar for the amazing Falling Slowly.  My husband, who's becoming ever more and more "lefty" really dug his closing comment: "Make art."  What a great sentiment.  I loved his acceptance speech.  Here it is:

Thanks! This is amazing. What are we doing here? This is mad.  We made this film two years ago.  We shot on two Handycams.  It took us three weeks to make.  We made it for a hundred grand.  We never thought we would come into a room like this and be in front of you people.  It's been an amazing thing.  Thanks for taking this film seriously, all of you.  It means a lot to us.  Thanks to the academy, thanks to all the people who've helped us, they know who they are, we don't need to say them.  This is amazing.  Make art.  Make art.  Thanks.
