Os amigos portugueses
Ainda não sei por qué, mais desde sempre eu tem uma relação muito cálida com os portugueses. Acredito que isso é simplemente porque eles tem uma maneira de ser mais tranquila que os vizinhos da península, então é mais fácil a conversação eo intercámbio de ideias. Mais e também certo que gosto muito da Lisboa 😉
Today was a good day
Thanks to all my friends that made this a birthday to remember.
Gracias.
Dankuwel.
Obrigado.
Now, let’s get all the projects and exams done. Yatta!
3 films by Mexican directors nominated for the Oscars
Babel received 7 nominations (including best director and best picture), El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan’s Labrynth) 6 (including best foreign language film) and Children of Men 3.
I found the best quote about the three movies in a Brazilian website:
“Del Toro, Alejando González Iñárritu and Alfonso Cuarón are examples of movie makers that never stopped giving their own touch to their productions, regardless of being tied to big studios. Coincidentially, or not, all three are nationals of a country that still today is treated with disdain by the Americans. The prejudices won’t end any time soon, but their talent and their success is the best answer.”
In other news, the Spanish are also happy. Penélope Cruz is also nominated for best actress, some Spanish documentaries are in the fray, and the possible success of Laberinto del Fauno (Pan’s Labrynth) is also theirs, as a big part of the staff and all of the actors are Spanish.
Gustavo Santaolalla from Argentina created the score for Babel, and he’s also in the running.
I hope they all win, but of course the competion is tough.
