Oscars MADNESS.
The dresses, the suits, the golden men, the actual men, the actual women and the almighty Ellen DeGeneres. I almost wish she was half-American half-English so then her chat show would be broadcast on English telly too.
The major headlines on this subject are of course '12 Years A Slave' and 'Gravity' kicking movie ass, Jennifer Lawrence falling out of a car and #PoorLeo, the twitter tag swooping around the interwebs referring to the fact that lovely Leonardo DiCaprio once again failed to win the Best Actor golden man.
Do you think he should have won it?
The fact is that you would hope for a win for such a profound actor but, as with every Academy Awards ceremony each year, the talent is judged on the year's films and acting performances - not the portfolio of the actors' lives so far - and if you're up against some fresh new amazing entertainers, it's bound to be a fight. In another world, with different portrayals by different faces in films in contest with his own, DiCaprio would have won - it's partly luck.
Say there's a beauty contest for ducks (bear with me). The contestants allwalk waddle onto the stage. First comes the rainbow duck with beautifully rare feathers. Next, the bejewelled emerald duck with golden feet. The duck with eyelashes as long as the speeches my old headteacher used to do steps up. And then the tiny dirty grey duck with one blue eye and one green. Next to several other grey ducks he would be the most beautiful and unique. But he's not, because he's stood next to other elaborate beings for the judges to choose from. I am in no way saying that Leonardo DiCaprio is a bird or that he likes swimming in cold water waiting for people to throw bread at him. Just that he's only not receiving his golden man because of competition-related circumstances.
