As it was Oscar night last night, I thought I’d post these photographs of my favourite actress’ two Oscar wins: Vivien Leigh in 1940 for Gone With The Wind and in 1952 for A Streetcar Named Desire.
I was going to stay up and watch the awards live (last night’s I mean, not Vivien’s, as it’s kinda hard if you’re not yet born), but the flesh was weak and I recorded it instead to watch later.
But as always it’s difficult to avoid spoilers. I was pleased that Gary Oldman won Best Actor for Darkest Hour and Frances McDormand won Best Actress for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. I saw both of these films and predicted both stars for the honours after enjoying both movies. I got Best Film wrong though, tipping Three Billboards which was my favourite. But two out of three ain’t bad.

I didn’t watch the Oscars, but the winners certainly matched a lot of the predictions. I felt bad for Saoirse Ronan. She’s so good. But it’s hard to be up against the likes of Frances McDormand and Meryl Streep.

I never saw Lady Bird, but the trailer featured before a movie I went to watch and I thought it looked good.

I’d say two out of three is pretty good! I didn’t watch it either. Vivian Leigh is timeless 🙂

As a lover of old movies I’ve yet to see one featuring your countrywoman Garbo. I will try to remedy that.
