When I saw Lincoln, I thought Daniel Day Lewis was a “shoe in” for best actor. But after seeing Hugh Jackman portray Jean Valjean in Les Mis, I’m not so sure. Jackman rocked that role.
It doesn’t look like I’ll manage to see every nominee by Oscars night, but I’m still trying to see as many as I can. Sylvain is helping.
I thought of you yesterday when a tiny little bird landed at our backpack´s edge and looked at Daniel as if coming for a chat. Kelly would have known your name, I whispered.
His picture is in a mosaic I posted today.
