Academy Honorary Award
Robert F. Boyle - "In recognition of one of cinema's great careers in art direction."




Cate Blanchett:
Blanchett's nomination for Best Actress renders her the first actress in the history of the Academy Awards to be nominated twice for playing the same character in different films. Blanchett portrayed Queen Elizabeth I in Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007) and in Elizabeth (1998); she earned a Best Actress nomination for both performances. The first person to achieve this distinction was Peter O'Toole, who was nominated twice for portraying Henry II. O'Toole earned Best Actor nominations for both Becket (1964) and The Lion in Winter (1968).

Blanchett's nominations for both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress place her among only 11 performers in the history of the Academy Awards to be nominated for two acting Awards within the same year. They are, in chronological order: Fay Bainter, Teresa Wright, Barry Fitzgerald, Jessica Lange, Sigourney Weaver, Al Pacino, Emma Thompson, Holly Hunter, Julianne Moore, and Jamie Foxx.

Specifically, Dee becomes the second oldest nominee ever, and her nomination displaces Jessica Tandy (age 82), who previously held this distinction. Gloria Stuart (age 87) remains the oldest nominee ever in the history of this Award.



Hal Holbrook's nomination, at age 82, ranks him as the oldest nominee ever for Best Supporting Actor in the history of the Academy Awards. His nomination displaces Ralph Richardson (age 82), who previously held this distinction.



Kevin O'Connell's nomination for Best Sound Mixing brings his total Academy Award nominations to 20 and distinguishes him as the artist with the most unsuccessful nominations ever.



Ellen Page's nomination, at age 20, ranks her among the youngest nominees ever for Best Actress in the history of the Academy Awards. Specifically, Page becomes the fourth youngest nominee ever, and her nomination displaces Marlee Matlin (age 21), who previously held this distinction.



Jason Reitman's nomination, at age 30, ranks him among the youngest nominees ever for Best Director in the history of the Academy Awards. Specifically, Reitman becomes the seventh youngest nominee ever, and his nomination displaces Spike Jonze (age 30), who previously held this distinction.

Last Tuesday evening, when my family at I were in my relatives' house in Tandang Sora, Quezon City, and my female cousin told me, that I may house theri Internet, I check the website of Pinoy Exchange, there was a note that the PEx users to come back after a few hours.

At that time, I wonder what they, the people behind Pinoy Exchange, doing at that time.

And also, I wonder why, that my oldest brother, brought the Apple MacBook laptop, last Tuesday and Wednesday. I didn't bother to ask.

To serve, or not to serve.

To the people behind Pinoy Exchange, ayusin nyo naman yung (mga) server(s) nyo.

Bulok na yata.

Lost - Season 4 - Episode 3 - The Economist

OK lang yung bagong episode ng Lost.

I didn't expected that Ben and Sayid had this agreement to kill/finish this "economist", in Berlin, Germany.

As of the third/3rd episode, I have these questions:

Why does Naomi's bracelet, is similar to Elsa's bracelet?
How did Ben left the island?
Does Dan/Daniel's clock is on time? And why does the time of Dan/Daniel's clock and the clock of the freighter is/are different?
What happended to the rest of this so-called the Others?
Who the hell are Mr. Avelino, R.G., and this economist? How does R.G. connected to Ben? How does Ben connected to Mr. Avelino and to this economist?

Forgetful ka na ba?

Nung kumukuha ng (mga) bagong pasahero ang bus na sinasakyan ko sa Balintawak, sa gasolinahan ng Total, biglang pumasok sa isip ko yug folder ko na may natitirang dalawang resumes ko at ilang leaflets/flyers, bigla kong naisip/naalala na, nasa malaking plastib bag pala ang folder ko, na may natitirang dalawang resumes ko at ilang leaflets/flyers.

Lost - Season 4 - Episode 2 - Confirmed Dead

Before going to the subject, I would like to share "some flashbacks" before watching this episode.



Friday, February 8, 2008:

Originally, plano kong mag-download, kaso, kaligitnaan ng hapon, dumating yung magulang ko, dahil sinamahan yung magulang ko yung kapatid na babae ng nanay ko sa asawa na duktor, na asawa ng pinsan kong lalaki na duktor din, hindi natuloy.



Saturday, February 9, 2008:

Hindi ko maalala yung events sa araw na ito.



Umaga ng Sunday, February 10, 2008:

Hindi ko maalala yung events nung umaga.

Hapon ng ng Sunday, February 10, 2008:

Nagsimba kami ng nanay ko, at dalawang kapatid ko na lalaki, sa simbahan sa SM North Edsa, tapos, yung kapatid kong panganay na lalaki, may binili, hindi ko alam kung ano at hindi ko na maalala. Yung pangalawa kong kapatid na lalaki, bumili ng pang-cord sa mga wirings ng telepono, dsl, etc. sa ACE Hardware sa dating building ng Super Sale Club. Bumili ng fake na mga bulaklak sa ACE Hardware.

Pre-dinner, at in-dinner ng Sunday, February 10, 2008:

Akala ng tatay ko at panganay kong kapatid na lalaki, na napanood ko na yung movie/film version ng Memoirs of a Geisha. Ang totoo niyan, pagkatapos ko kumain dila ko yung plato, kutsara, tinidor, at baso sa kusina, at dumiresto sa kuwarto ko, dahil maraming scenes ko na pananood, simula nung kumain kami ng hapunan.




One/1 adjective for the new episode: Nice.

I didn't expect that Naomi and her associates will have flashback/s, after the crash of Oceanic Airline 815.

As of the second/2nd episode, I have these questions:

Who is the person in their boat, as Ben said?
How did Ben know about Charlotte and company?
Why does Charlotte and company is looking for Ben? How did they earned a photo/picture of adult Ben? And when was the photo/picture of adult Ben taken, and what was/were kind of business/es Ben taking?

Lost - Season 4 - Episode 1 - The Beginning of the End

I do expect that Jack to be the first character will have the flashforward in Season 4's first episode called, "The Beginning of the End, then, it was Hurley will be the first character to have a "flashforward".



Nice acting for Jorge Garcia, the one who plays Hurley.



Pogi si Dominic Monaghan sa flashforward ni Hurley, ahihi.



As of the first episode, I have these questions:

Will Desmond continue to have all the premonitions/visions/precognitions?
Does the smoky monster will appear again in any of the upcoming Season 4 episodes of Lost?
Where on Earth is this island?
