Funny One On The Oscars

Hello Funny One here and I’m going to talk about the Oscars. Best film went to Argo. Haven’t seen it. I’ve only seen 3 of out of the 9 movies nominated for best picture. I thought Lincoln was going to win. Best director went to Ang Lee for Life of Pi. That a great movie too. Best actor went to Daniel Day-Lewis for Lincoln. I’m so glad that Daniel Day-Lewis won best actor. He deserved it. He’s the first actor to win three Oscars. I’m disappointed that Lincoln didn’t win more awards. Best actress went to Jennifer Lawrence for Silver Linings Playbook. I thought she would win. Best supporting actor went to Christoph Waltz for Django Unchained. He was really good in Django Unchained. It was very different to his role in Inglourious Basterds. He’s a really great actor. Best supporting actress went to Anne Hathaway for Les Misérables. It was obvious she was going to win. Best foreign language film went to Amour. The only film I saw that was nominated was No. Best animated feature film went to Brave. Boring. Best original screenplay went to Django Unchained by Quentin Tarantino. That script was amazing. I’d love to be in one of his movies. But who wouldn’t though? Best adapted screenplay went to Argo by Chris Terrio. Best original score went to Life Of Pi. It was a really good soundtrack. Best original song went to Skyfall by Adele. Not a bad song. Cinematography went to Life Of Pi. I can see why it won. Editing went to Argo. Production design went to Lincoln. Well two Oscars are better than none. But Lincoln deserved more though. Costume design went to Anna Karenina. Boring. Sound editing went to Zero Dark Thirty and Skyfall. I didn’t know that two could win. Sound mixing went to Les Misérables. The sound wasn’t that great. Special Visual Effects went to Life Of Pi. They were great special effects. Make-up and hair went to Les Misérables. Why? Short animation went to Paperman. Documentary short subject went to Inocente. Short film went to Curfew. Documentary went to Searching For Sugarman. I got that one right. Well anyways I’ll finish here for now.

Funny One On The Baftas

Hello Funny One here. Last time I said I would talk more about the Baftas so here I am. Best film went to Argo. I haven’t seen this movie so I don’t know if it’s any good or not. Is it? Outstanding British film went to Skyfall. I thought that would win. It’s a great movie. Best director went to Ben Affleck for Argo. I thought Ang Lee was going to win it. Best actor went to Daniel Day-Lewis for Lincoln. He deserved to win. His performance was amazing. Anyways, Best actress went to Emmanuelle Riva for Amour. I’ve never seen and have no idea what it’s about. Best supporting actor went to Christoph Waltz for Django Unchained. Both him and Javier Bardem were great. So I was happy with that one. Best supporting actress went to Anne Hathaway for Les Misérables. I thought Dame Judi Dench deserved to win it. She was great in Skyfall. Anyone whose seen the Skyfall will agree with me on that. Outstanding debut by a British writer, director or producer went to Bart Layton, Dimitri Doganis for The Imposter. I have no idea what it’s about. I haven’t seen it. Best foreign language film went to
Amour. The only ones I saw that were nominated were Rust and Bone and Untouchable. I like them both. Best animated feature film went to Brave. I really don’t l;ike it. It’s so cliché. Best original screenplay went to Django Unchained written by Quentin Tarantino. He did deserve it. It was fucking awesome! Best adapted screenplay went to Silver Linings Playbook written by David O. Russell. I would have loved it if Life of Pi or Lincoln had won. Best original score went to Skyfall. I thought that would win. I knew Skyfall would win some. Cinematography went to Life of Pi. The cinematography for this movie was really was mind-blowing. Editing went to Argo. I thought Skyfall would have won that. Production design went to Les Misérables. there’s no way it’s better than Life of Pi. Costume design went to Anna Karenina. I thought Lincoln should have won. Sound went to Les Misérables. Really. Did they not hear Anne Hathaway singing? Obviously not. Special Visual Effects went to Life of Pi. What else would have won? Make-up and hair went to Les Misérables. Really? Did they not see Anne Hathaway? Short animation went to The Making of Longbird. Haven’t seen but I thought it might win. Short film went to Swimmer. Have no idea what it’s about. Is it about swimming? Documentary went to Searching For Sugar Man. And finally The Rising Star Award went to Juno Temple. That’s what happens when you let the public vote. Anyways, I’ll finish here for now.

Cherry Happy To Be A Material Girl

Hello, Funny One here. Today’s state is Michigan. It took me ages to think of something to draw. I hope it’s ok. I wonder if you can tell who it’s supposed to be? Anyways, I’m in the Cherry Hut. The restaurant is like being back in the 1950’s. http://www.cherryhutstore.com/ I’m going to stick with food just now. The Doug Murdick’s Fudge is where you can get delicious fudge in many flavors. The Marshall’s Fudge is another fab place where they sell yummy caramel apples covered in candy. Mmmm candy. I have to put the website up because the candy looks so delicious. Mmmm fudge.  http://www.marshallsfudge.com/  The Ryba’s® Fudge Shops. They have pumpkin fudge. I have to try that! Speaking of food, there are some interesting restaurants in Detroit.  If you love Mexican food, then try The Mexican Village Restaurant where you can get a cocktail called the Papaya Driver (which is basically Papaya juice with either tequila or vodka.) I like the sound of that, but I would have both tequila and vodka in it though! Their menu looks yummy too. But if you don’t like Mexican food you can go to Amici’s Pizza where you can enjoy yummy pizza with a cocktail. Mmmmm pizza and cocktail.

If you love submarines and anything to do with the Navy, then you’ll love these following places: The USS Silversides Submarine Museum includes a wide range of exhibits and displays that focus on the USS Silversides, World War II, the Pearl Harbor attack, submarines, the Cold War, marine technology, and Great Lakes shipping. The museum also features a 72-seat theater that currently features a documentary about U.S. involvement in World War II and the role of U.S. Navy Submarine Service. The Michigan Maritime Museum is also a fantastic place where you can experience the rich maritime heritage of the Great Lakes by visiting Michigan’s most well-known establishment of maritime research, preservation and education. The Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society was founded in 1978 by a group of divers, some teachers, and educators to begin exploration of historic shipwrecks in eastern Lake Superior, near Whitefish Point in Michigan’s scenic Upper Peninsula. Today this  non-profit organization operates two museum sites on historic properties:  The Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum, Whitefish Point Light Station, Whitefish Point; and the U.S. Weather Bureau Building, Soo Locks Park, Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan.
