Lists with Friends #7

Thoughts on the Oscars and other miscellanous stuff.

1. I have seen a few of the movies that were up for awards this year. I don't have a favorite, but I really enjoyed Gravity and Philomena.

2. We watched, The Wolf of Wallstreet and honestly it was just too much. Too much of everything.

3. I enjoyed American Hustle, but not as much as I thought I would.

4. I have seen Frozen a couple of times, and I love it. I love, Let it Go and thought Idina Menzel did a fantastic job. So did Adele Dazeem. John Travolta however, did not. He had one name to read!

5. We will be watching 12 Years a Slave soon, and I can tell from the previews that I have seen that Lupita Nyong'O absolutely deserved to win. How great was her reaction and acceptance speech?

6. Ellen did a great job hosting. I appreciate a comic that isn't mean. Bravo, Ellen.

7. That is it for the Oscars. Oh, one more thing. Best dress, Lupita again. Gorgeous!

8. I started a new book that I picked up at the library and I am loving it very much. Please pick up a copy of, Until Tuesday: A Wounded Warrior and the Golden Retriever Who Saved Him by Luis Carlos Montalvan. You won't regret it. I am also thrilled that our library will be hosting the author and Tuesday. I am hoping to go see both of them.

9. On my nightstand waiting to be picked up, Under the Wide and Starry Sky by Nancy Horan. I loved her book, Loving Frank. What an insightful look in to the life and loves of Frank Lloyd Wright.

10. What are you reading? Have a great week. xxoo Hey! I figured out lists in Blogger!
