As I write this, I am looking out my window at a snow blizzard...in March.... in Vancouver.... sigh. And to think I was walking across the Brooklyn Bridge wearing only a t-shirt and basking in warm sunshine a few short weeks ago when I visited New York for the annual College Art Association Conference. I took many photographs while there that can be viewed here. Someone clearly mixed up our weather this year. One upside to all of this bad weather is the indoor time I have spent catching up on movies, books, and other media I have had piling up. Before last weekend's Academy Awards, I watched no less than five films to get up to speed on the nominations, and I was as floored as anyone else to see the grand finale mishap (delivered by Bonnie and Clyde-- Beatty and Dunaway-- no less!) on live television. While I was thrilled to see Moonlight take home the grand prize, I was disappointed that Isabelle Huppert was not given the Oscar for Best Actress for Elle, a performance that has quickly become my favourite of the past year. And speaking of great performances by actresses, I cannot wait to see the premiere episode of Ryan Murphy's Feud tonight. Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange playing Bette Davis and Joan Crawford? Yes please! Enjoy the links.
