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.

Movie Review – Lincoln

Hello Funny One here. Today I went to the cinema with my sisters and mom to see the movie Lincoln. It’s a very good movie. Daniel Day-Lewis and Sally field were really good in it. She won’t get any recognition for it because of les miserables. It’s really difficult to say ho should win the Oscar, Denzel Washington or Daniel Day-Lewis? They were both great. The critics said the movie was too long and boring. It’s not too long. The critics thought there was too talking. Well it’s about politics, what did they expect. Anyways me and my family loved it. I give it 5 stars.

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?

Up Uranus

Hello Funny One here. Today I drew Uranus. It’s the seventh smallest planet in the solar system and the seventh planet from the Sun. Uranus is mainly composed of ices and rock. It also has 27 moons. The other large planets have extremely hot cores, and radiate infrared radiation. Something made the core of Uranus cool down to the point that it doesn’t radiate much heat. The temperature of the cloud tops on Uranus can drop down to 49 K. It was the first planet discovered by telescope. It spins lying on its  side, like a barrel, this is possibly due to a large collision early in its formation.

I have also drawn a cartoon. I’ll hopefully be doing more, one every day of me trying to get into America. Today’s cartoon is called “Flight Plan”.

#1 Flight Plan

In the cartoon I’m trying to sneak into America in a suitcase. Someone who works there finds the unattended suitcase. He thinks there is a bomb in the suitcase so it gets blown up.

Sitting in Parked Cars in Nebraska

Hello, Funny One here. I wrote one funny article today and I just have to do one more, which I think I’ll do tomorrow. Ok, so today’s state is Nebraska. The picture is of me at the Carhenge. It replicates Stonehenge, and is made of a circle of cars, 3 standing trilithons within the circle, the heel stone, slaughter stone, and 2 station stones, and the Aubrey circle, which is named after Sir John Aubrey who first recognized the earthworks and great stones as a prehistoric temple in 1648.

Ok, I’m going to start off with trains. If you visit the Oregon Trail Wagon Train you will get to try a real campfire cookout. Cool! I wonder if they sing campfire songs? You will be taken back in time where you can experience what it was like to live back in the days of 1850. Enjoy the Old West! It sounds like fun. There’s also the Stolley Park Railway where you will have two trips around Stolley Park on Central Nebraska’s only life-size garden-scale railroad. There is also a candy store there, The Sweet Tooth Shop, which is available to park goers offering a wide range of delicious treats like popcorn, cookies and cotton candy. Mmmmm cotton candy. The Rock Island Depot Railroad Museum is two-storeys and is an historic stop that’s definitely going to impress. The Rock Island Railroad Depot is one of two remaining brick Rock Island Railroad Depots in Nebraska. It is also the largest depot that is still in existence between Chicago and Denver.

Do you want to know more about the history of Nebraska? Well, there are many places to visit, such as The Great Platte River Road Archway. From the year 1843 to 1869, nearly half a million men, women and children rode and walked the trails to the West Coast. The sky was overwhelming and the mountains and wildlife were like nothing they had ever seen before. These pioneers persevered with a strong will and a lot of determination, and they carried their cherished belongings in wagons or strapped to burros; and they also pushed or floated hand carts over mountains, rivers and valleys. All who took the trip were changed by it. Those early pioneers were shaped by what they saw and experienced, and they have provided America to be a heritage that is a living spirit that molds the nation’s character today. If you visit The Pioneer Village you will see a priceless steam carousel, 17 historic flying machines and you will marvel at 100 antique tractors. There’s also the world’s oldest Buick, a 1902 Cadillac and a 1903 Ford, both designed by Henry Ford, plus 350 other antique cars, all displayed in their order of development. The Nebraska History Museum is where you can see fascinating artefacts and hear some amazing stories from the rich history of Nebraska. The Museum of the Fur Trade is a museum that is dedicated to preserving the rich history of the North American fur trade. It’s located three miles east of Chadron and stands on the site of James Bordeaux’s trading post which was established for the American Fur Company in 1837.

Here are some other interesting places to go: The Nebraska Firefighters Museum. The hottest place in Nebraska! There is also El Museo Latino, which is one of only 11 Latino museums in the United States. Well, I’ll leave it there for now. Hasta luego.
