Tomorrow night I will watch the Oscars. I must admit I enjoy every cheesy moment of this annual spectacle. I like the red carpet, I groan at the questions asked and I marvel at the gowns. I look for the one outfit that will be a "what were you thinking moment", and one that will be a stunner. I especially like the Oscars when Billy Crystal is the host. He is talented, as is always proven by the opening numbers and he is witty. He always seems to me to be the guy everyone is waiting for to get the party started.
This year I am rooting hard for our RI nominee, Viola Davis. She is one of the stars of the movie, The Help, also a book that I devoured in one day. She is from the tough streets of Central Falls, RI, and attended RI College on a theater scholarship. Recently (prior to the Oscar nomination) she donated thousands of dollars to Central Falls when it experienced a financial crisis. She is what my mother would call, "good people", and a damn good actress. I know there are other wonderful actresses nominated, such as Meryl Streep, but I think this year the Oscar for best actress should go to Viola Davis, Rhode Islander. Yup, you can call me a homey.
