so did anybody watch the oscars last night? i did, and it was one of my favorite shows. jon stewart was hilarious and there was some pretty sweet moments (which i will blog about later this week). the folks that produce the show seem to really be catching the vibe of how to merge informality with excellence and authenticity. i was very impressed. and i was particularly impressed that the song "falling slowly" from my favorite movie this year "once", was awarded the oscar for best song. performing the song are the two independent/indie songwriters--Marketa Irglova and Glen Hansard (the frames)--who starred in the movie as well ...
incidentally, if you get the chance you MUST see the movie "once". watch the live performance here
