Anyway, the nominations for the 84th Academy Awards are in. And like every year, there will be a healthy dose of indignation about some of the nominations. My biggest gripe after quickly sifting through the list? Not seeing last year’s best film DRIVE getting a significant nomination anywhere. No Best Picture nom, no Best Actor nom for Gosling, no Best Supporting Actor nom for Albert Brooks (which I really thought would be a shoe-in), nothing, zilch, nada… The one nomination it did get? Best Sound Editing. I mean, seriously?

Ah well, that’s the Oscars for ya. Taking these award shows with any kind of seriousness possibly poses a health hazard, I guess. Then again, this geek will up late february 26th (that’s what you get for living on this side of the Atlantic) watching the show. If only to see Billy Crystal verbally destroy Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.

… sweet, delicious murder.

‘Writings on a wall’ is basically an eclectic collection of notes, images, clips, quotes, opinions, musings and more, posted in no particular order and most often probably withouth much contemplation on my part. It’s just what I want to ‘put out there’ at any given moment. Could be film related, could be opinionated, could just be a funny picture of a cat riding a tricycle. In any case, this particular blog-format gives me the freedom to quickly post different kinds of stories, withouth all of them necessarily having to do with my work. Even though I really love what I do.

Of course, if you are interested, you can read a bit more about me and my work in the ‘about me’ and ‘my work’-sections (that makes perfect sense, doesn’t it). And should you have any lingering questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.
