Overall, watching the Oscars was pretty tortuous last night because it’s such a long show, but last night actually marked Gabby Babble’s 1st year of blogging as our first post was on Oscar night in 2007. I almost fell asleep many times though and I actually didn’t make it to the very end and didn’t catch the winner for the Best Motion Picture. Luckily reports had the list available. John Stewart did a great job hosting - he’s funny and he’s classy at the same time. I loved how he gave Marketa Irglova a chance to do her thank you as she didn’t get the chance when she and Glen Hansard went up to take their award for Falling Slowly. My two favorite Oscar moments are in the video clips above when Javier Bardem won for Supporting Actor and Marion Cotillard won for Lead Actress.

I am really stoked that Hansard and Irglova won for Best Song.
I posted a review of their recent concert in Portland, a Once movie review and also a bit about the Oscars on my blog. You’ll just have to scroll down on the right side and click on the “Glen Hansard” label to find all of it. http://isorski.blogspot.com/
