Oh, I wish I were an Oscar award winner…

…that is what I’d truly like to be,
Cause if I were an Oscar award winner,
I could swear like a sailor on TV.

What’s up with the Melissa Leo dropping the f-bomb on national TV? And how is it that an entertainment reporter thinks it’s great in the post show media interview? Ridiculous. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if celebrities politicians, business executives, professional athletes and others in the public eye returned to the days when folks conducted themselves with class, dignity, integrity, self-respect, and a sense of decorum?

Hey, one has to have dreams.

My favorite Academy Award moment? Kirk Douglas, without question.

My second favorite moment? Every occasion Anne Hathaway returned to stage in a new ensemble and my daughter yelled “How many times is she going to come out in a new dress? Gah!”

My third favorite moment?  The PS22 Chorus from from Public School 22 in Graniteville, Staten Island performing Somewhere Over the Rainbow to close the 83rd Academy Awards show.
