May we all remember to be so genuinely touched by kind words, so unafraid to show both our dark and our light sides. That this kind of authentic humbleness is notable [...]
Anne Hathaway has already changed? I heart Hugh Jackman…. great opening number. … but my heart will always belong to Steve Martin. Wall E wins! My second favorite movie of the year (Slumdog #1) Oh Jennifer Aniston seems so nervous! Babe, just don’t look down to the beautiful couple in the very front row. Holy [...]
