The silent Black & white movie "The Artist" walked away with 3 awards out of its 6 nominations, folllowed by "The Descendants" which won 2 globes.. Though the Best Director was touted to be awarded to "The Artist", tonite's awards proved everyone wrong. Atleast for me, I thought Alexander Payne had more chances of winning. But still, I'm happy for Scorcese !! Just look at him.. Two years back, he proved to the world that he can make spine chilling thrillers like "Shutter Island" and now he has proved that he is good at making 3D adventure dramas.. That too at the age of 69!!

Woody Allen might be aging but his ideas never age. At 76, he is still able to create great stories and win awards. He is definitely my biggest inspiration. Meryl Streep won the coveted "Best Actress" for her performance as Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady". This is her 8th Golden Globe win out of her 25 nominations ! Wow !!

Michelle Williams's portrayal as Marilyn Monroe won her the Best Actress Award for a Comedy / Musical movie. Definitely one of the best performances this year. Steven Spielberg is a specialist in whatever genre he directs. Though Tintin deserved it, I believe Rio was way better than "Arthur's Christmas". Sad, that it couldn't even earn itself a nomination.

Jean Dujardin has high chances of winning the Oscar for Best Acting, having already won the Golden Globes and the Cannes award. Though I liked Madonna's track, I suppose the Alfred Nobbs track deserved better. You can never predict who will win. Sometimes the winners deserve.. Sometimes it feels like they don't even stand a chance. Likewise Hugo's OST was the best in the category. But the thing is, it is finally the jury's choice. Sometimes they like "Techno" (The Social Network), sometimes "Old French music" (The Artist), sometimes "Broadway style" (Moulin Rouge).

FYI, Moulin Rouge was picked from a list which had "Pearl Harbor" and "A beautiful mind" !! WTF !!

Well overall the awards matched most of the expectations except a few surprises here and there. Ricky Gervais proves again that the Organizers are inefficient in picking the right host. I didn't find much humour in his speech. Hope he doesn't think he is funny. Definitely not. Hosting a show with a bad attitude and simply running around with a wine glass is not entertaining.
Ricky stop dreaming.. Snap out of it !!

Lets wait until January 24th. Expecting new names for the Best Picture & Best Director Academy Award nominations..

Waiting for forever

Some day you will find me
I haven't gone too far
I miss the way we were back then
How we laughed
I can feel you in my heart

There's a world in your eyes I can see it getting brighter
All the hours that we turned into days
We were young seemed like life would go on last forever
All I had was you by my side

Some day you will answer
Remember how we were
When all our hopes and dreams
Floated in the air
I feel it in my heart
I can feel you in my heart

That's the way that it was in the past you remember
When we ran through the wind and the rain
Life seemed like it would go on forever

Now everything has changed.

Bachna Ae Haseeno : Sweet popcorn

Hello guys.. Long time.. Just come from a sabbatical. Hope you are doing good. Saw this movie yesterday. Its a nice movie, watch it. I recommend.

Bachna Ae Haseeno is a 2008 hindi movie directed by Siddarth Anand for Yash Raj Films.

The story of a man’s search for true love and his brief encounters with two other’s hearts is Bachnaa Ae Haseeno in short. It is a coming of age drama about Raj, a video game developer who believes himself to be a Casanova and loves in wooing others just for the heck of it. Raj played by Ranbir Kapoor has done a decent job. I liked his subtle performance thought could have been better. But can’t expect more from him. He has just kept his performance simple, silly.

Childish love
Mahi, played by Minissha Lamba is the first of them who falls in his trap. Mahi is a very filmy romantic downtown Punjabi girl who believes in all the childish sweet things. Raj’s attempt to heal Mahi’s unhappy married life is one of the best scenes in the movie. Siddarth deserves a pat.

Mature love
Radhika, the second is a mature lover. Bipasha Basu has done a good performance. Her performance adds beauty and romance to the character and script. Her eyes spoke a lot in her performance. That is something rarely seen in actresses nowadays. Kudos to Bips. Unlike her voice, her performance and character portrayed are indeed sweet.

True love
This is where Raj finally finds his true love with a girl who doesn’t believe in marriage. Gayathri, played by Deepika has done a decent job. She always does a neat job and an expert in playing bubbly roles.

Lovely songs and good camera work always make a movie beautiful. Overall its a nice, colorful film.

All is well that ends well. Somehow people change their heart in movies and start believing in true love at the end. Wish this happens in real life. I don’t think we follow our heart. People still believe in being controlled. How many ever times they get persuaded, they just won’t change. Please guys.
Be true to yourself.
Follow your heart.
Find True love.
Pursue it.

After all, there is no better reason to live, than to love and be loved.

Return to Innocence : Letters to Julianne

Dear Julianne,

Hi love. Long since I wrote you.. 24 hours !! Everything boring here.. In locked doors doing homework. Looking at your photo.. I dont know what.. Its pretty weird.. When I start looking into your eyes, time is running so fast. Its been hours since I sat down, but still feels like a few seconds. Can't describe which part of you is more beautiful. Eyes, nose, lips, neck.. Im confused. Can’t describe which part of you makes me feel more attractive than the other. All the best things in this world have gone into my mom and now into you. That small smile on your cheeks are enough to keep me happy for another hundred years. Your eyes make me want to come to you kiss your cheeks. I am writing this letter sending each and every ounce of warmness from this sunlight to you.

I had a dream yesterday.. Both of us in the hospital. You are pregnant. I was touching your knees. They felt so soft. So warm.. You were looking nervous and thrilled at the same time. Our eyes spoke so long. Finally I saw the smile which warmed my heart. You wanted a boy.. I wanted a girl.. Then they took you inside the operation theatre for delivery.. Suddenly my mom’s voice.. My mom woke me up. It was morning already.. Argghhhhh !!!!.. Couldnt spend a few minutes with my wife. Lol.. Leaving for school.. Thinking about you.. Always.. Every moment.. Bye hun. . Muah J

Get well soon.. We can play a lot..

Yours lovingly,

Jim
