YOU GO GIRL!!!!


Last night was the Oscars and as per tradition the bf and I watched. Even though the show was near 4 hours it didn't seem to drag as it has before. I thought Ellen did and excellent job as host. The winners were pretty much what everyone predicted with the exception of Best Supporting Actor. The odds were in favor of Eddie Murphy but he lost to Allen Arkin. But the highlight of the night was my girl Jennifer Hudson winning Best Supporting Actress. Take that Simon Cowell. Girl downright owned that film and her award was well deserved.
