(as did my family) I kept roooting for Gibby & therefore also the Dodgers..& he did it again. (God bless the Gibber !) ....also, I don't have a drug problem...have found a spiritual way to handle pressure & living in los angeles ..I would be a NEW FACE for hollywood, maybe a new star ! oh, by the way, I was in the Brad Pitt film, "Moneyball" (or will be hopefully when it comes out in sept of this year, if all goes well.., simply an extra in the background)...Can I make the big LEAP from extra to main character ? let's find out..maybe the next "Best Actor" !

To: <vanderkok@gmail.com>LIVE, 545pm (pst) ..I'm at church here in hollywood as the academy awards are starting a few blocks away..but let me tell you..this is the BEST PICTURE ! GOD is The BEST ACTOR. because He's the REAL THING ! Is 49:14-15 Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me; my LORD has forgotten me.” Can a mother forget her infant, be without tenderness for the child of her womb? Even should she forget, I will never forget you. R. (6a) Rest in God alone, my soul.rock of my strength; my refuge is in God. Trust in him at all times, O my people! Pour out your hearts before him. R. Rest in God alone, my soul. "Brothers and sisters: Thus should one regard us: as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Now it is of course required of stewards that they be found trustworthy. It does not concern me in the least that I be judged by you or any human tribunal; I do not even pass judgment on myself; I am not conscious of anything against me, but I do not thereby stand acquitted; the one who judges me is the Lord Therefore do not make any judgment before the appointed time, until the Lord comes for he will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will manifest the motives of our hearts, and then everyone will receive praise from God. Matt 6.24-34 "Jesus said to his disciples“No one can serve two masters He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other You cannot serve God and mammon.“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds in the sky they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they? Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your life-span? Why are you anxious about clothes? Learn from the way the wild flowers grow They do not work or spin But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them. If God so clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will he not much more provide for you, O you of little faith? So do not worry and say, ‘What are we to eat? or ‘What are we to drink?’or ‘What are we to wear? All these things the pagans seek. Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil."

*83rd ACADEMY AWARDS re-BLOG:BEST ANIMATED PICTURE, TOY STORY 3
BEST ANIMATED PICTURE: TOY STORY 3 (Walt Disney) This was a forgone conclusion for the toon and for director Lee Unkrich, who praised that Pixar "is the most awesome place on the earth to make movies". But I must say how ridiculous it was for there to only be three slots in this category when there were so many fabulous animated or CGI toons last year Left out of the nominations were Despicable Me, and My Dog Tulip, and Tangled, and I could go on and on. Because only 15 toons were deemed eligible, and not 16, the toonmakers get screwed. Fix th...

BEST ACHIEVEMENT IN CINEMATOGRAPHY: Inception (Warner Bros.) - Wally Pfister"Breathe it in for a second," Wally Pfister says to calm himself. "None of what I did could have been possible without the incredible vision of my master Christopher Nolan. His work (the audience applauds only to be admonished by Pfister, "You're taking up my time") has inspired me for 12 years. He's a brilliant filmmaker as we all know." Yes, everyone knows but for the green-with-jealousy Directors Branch who again snubbed Nolan for a nomination this year just like they did when he helmed The Dark Knight. ... Kirk Douglas looked swell. Really, I mean it. But the Academy shouldn't have done this. Disagree with me, fine, but this is my opinion. Here's what happened behind-the-scenes: breaking with tradition, neither 2010 winners Mo’Nique nor Christoph Waltz presented the Best Supporting Actor/ Actress categories. Mo'Nique refused to be a presenter even though s.."

BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY: THE KING'S SPEECH, David Seidler (The Weinstein Co)
BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY: THE KING'S SPEECH, David Seidler (The Weinstein Co) Calling it terrifying, David Seidler got a big laugh noting that "My father always said to me I would be a late bloomer. I believe am the oldest person to win this award. I hope that record is broken quickly and often." Seidler as a child suffered from a stammer and so drawn to the English King's story. Which is why he told the Kodak: "We have a voice. We have been heard." Both Sorkin's and Seidler's wins were pre-ordained. But I do think Chris Nolan should have won this category for Inception because of the incredible originality of that picture. (Yes, I am a huge Inception booster. Deal with it.) OK, I am officially sick of Anne Hathaway tonight, tux or not. And I'm supposed to laugh at James Franco in drag? OK, now we have our obligatory Charlie Sheen joke when James says he just got a text message from the bad boy Sheen himself. Is it me or is this show devoid of writing this year, let alone any jokes? Weird because new writers joined head Oscars writer Bruce Vilanch and John Mack this time including Grammy Awards vet David Wilde and Judd Apatow-regular Jordan Rubin. I'd been told in advance that the presenters wouldn't have to read those lame quips, and they haven't,. But too much of this show has been placed on Hathaway's and Franco's rather narrow shoulders. Sorry, but that can't carry my attention...."

83rd ACADEMY AWARDS re-BLOG: BEST MOTION PICTURE: THE KING'S SPEECH
BEST MOTION PICTURE: THE KING'S SPEECH (The Weinstein Co) A See-Saw Films and Bedlam Production Iain Canning, Emile Sherman and Gareth Unwin, Producers So strange that The King's Speech was used to introduce all 10 Best Picture nominees after its win was a forgone conclusion. Which it was. This is going to be a controversial move discussed for days, this having the winning film playing under the other nominated pics. What a stupid move. Hmm, I don't see Harvey Weinstein onstage -- and trust me, everyone would notice, even though Harvey Weinstein onstage -- and trust me, everyone would notice, even though the stage doesn't look big enough for all those slim British bodies. Then again, this is very much a UK film through and through.

Prescience has backed 25 films to date with a total production value of $400 million. It's run by managing director Tim Smith and his co-director Paul Brett who've both worked in the movie industry for more than 20 years at British outposts of Hollywood studios. Smith used to work for Fox, while Brett has worked for Miramax, Pathé and Paramount. Both come from a marketing background. The Weinstein Company and Prescience were the first financiers in after UK distributor Momentum. Iain Canning, co-producer of

BEST MOTION PICTURE: THE KING'S SPEECH (The Weinstein Co) A See-Saw Films and Bedlam Production Iain Canning, Emile Sherman and Gareth Unwin, Producers So strange that The King's Speech was used to introduce all 10 Best Picture nominees after its win was a forgone conclusion. Which it was. This is going to be a controversial move discussed for days, this having the winning film playing under the other nominated pics. What a stupid move.

83rd ACADEMY AWARDS re-BLOG: BEST DIRECTOR, TOM HOOPER - THE KING'S SPEECH (The Weinstein Co.)
BEST DIRECTOR: TOM HOOPER - THE KING'S SPEECH (The Weinstein Co.) This is the only surprise winner so far. Seriously. Everyone explained away HBO's John Adams miniseries director Tom Hooper's win at the Directors Guild because of the overwhelming TV membership of that union. The thinking was that, with this movie bunch, The Social Network's David Fincher would win n a split decision with Best Picture. But Fincher has been and apparently still s wildly unpopular in Hollywood because of his unmitigated arrogance which people who like him describe as iconoclasm. Someone at Paramount once told me a hilarious anecdote about how David refused to bow down to Oprah just to have her publicize his movie Benjamin Buttons. And everybody was saying to him, ‘But this is so important. You don’t understand,’ and he’s like ‘I don’t give a damn about Oprah’. On that I totally agree with him.
