Mar. 13th, 2023 09:33 pmI'm fighting a sinus headache, a sick sinus headache that I've been fighting all day long. Also attempting to watch Triangle of Sadness on Hulu at the moment. It's among the Oscar nominated films that I've not seen. There are four - Triangle, All Quiet on the Western Front, the Fableman's, and Avatar.
If you watched or read about last night's Oscar telecast - Everything Everywhere All at Once, and All Quiet on the Western Front cleaned up at the event. All Quiet basically won all the ones that Everything didn't win in the categories in which it was nominated - or all the technical stuff. It also won International. Neither was that surprising. I kind of guessed it ahead of time.
And EEE won the most since Slumbdog Millionaire. Do you remember Slumbdog?
I remember it better than EEE, which I guess tells you something? I'll probably forget who won next year. I can't remember who won last year.
Three films hold the record of winning the most Academy Awards, having garnered 11 Oscars each: Ben-Hur (1959), Titanic (1997) and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003).
Out of these, Titanic received the most nods with a total of 14 nominations.
There's no chance of the record being broken or leveled this time around – Everything Everywhere All at Once is up for eleven awards, but it can't win every one of them given that Stephanie Hsu and Jamie Lee Curtis are up against each other in the Best Supporting Actress category.
Titantic's wins are actually the reason that I stopped taking this contest seriously. I disliked Titantic. It was a boring film that lasted forever.
My brother loved it. Life continues to amuse. Actually it was Gandhi before that. At least I enjoyed EEE, even if I can barely remember it and have no interest in re-watching it.

Managed to paint another water-color today. This one of a man I saw on the train the other day. I've been painting people that I see on the train.
Drawing and painting them from memory. It's an interesting art experiment, and I'm enjoying it more than I did painting from photographs. My memory is more three dimensional.

Now that I've completed Spare, I'm currently listening to "A Life in Pieces" by Bryan Cranston. Which is interesting - he started out as homicide cop with the LAPD prior to working as an actor.
