One of my favourite reviewers won the National Award. Yay!

Hurrah for Clint!

I haven't seen Million Dollar Baby yet, but I'm very happy ye olde Eastwood won. Morgan Freeman too, finally.

And ahem!

Woo-hoo !

The Return of the King ties with Titanic and Ben-Hur for the maximum number of Oscars (11). It won in every single category it was nominated. First fantasy-pic to win Best Picture. Great !

I didn't expect Sean Penn to win, given his unpopularity. Must see Mystic River asap.

Vernon God Little wins Booker

This made me feel good, not really sure why. I have nothing against Monica Ali, never read her book. However it would be good to read someone non-Asian, for a change. Dirty But Clean Pierre (and thats just the author's name) sounds very promising.

The headline 'Australia-born writer wins Booker' was irritating though.
