CEREMONIA DE ENTREGA DE PREMIOS DE LA ACADEMIA DOS MIL SEIS 2006 EN VIVO

Due to popular demand, last night was spent very quietly watching the Oscars on TV. Sarah came round with wine (they’ve both gone off the tequila, strangely) and we got some snacks together. Oh how our faces fell though, when we realised it was going to be badly dubbed into Spanish throughout though… I’m not sure if Jon Stewart wasn’t his usual self or if the live translators’ timing was badly off but it was a pretty boring watch… Anyroad, we had our bingo cards with a 60 peso prize for the first line (Sita won with: First Joke about Gay Cowboys, Presenters Enter from Opposite Sides of the Stage, Honorary Oscar Given, Memoirs of a Geisha Wins Any Non-Acting Award, Jennifer Anniston Sighting) Hope she spends it wisely…
The big (150 peso) prize was for guessing the actual winners of course. Sita and I drew by getting 11 out of 24 right. And if I’d gone with my gut instinct to choose ‘It’s Hard Out There for a Pimp” rather than Dolly bloody Parton I’d’ve won. But no. So it came down to the length of the ceremony for the tie-breaker. And Sita was closest. Well done, guapa. I took the 4 peso bus money out of her winnings this morning and she made me promise to pay her back… I think the success has gone to her head…
