Greetings Breezles,
The Oscars were brilliant last night! Neil Patrick Harris was a fantastic host and the fashion was not to be missed. I like to post quotes every Monday, so in honor of the Oscars I posted 10 of my favorite quotes from past Oscar winners.
Do you have a favorite moment from last nights Oscars?
♥, E
“This is one night I wish I smoked and drank.”

“I, uh…I have a television, so I’m going to spend some time here to tell you some things. [To orchestra conductor:] And, and…and sir, you’re doing a great job, but you’re so quick with that stick, so why don’t you sit. ‘Cause I may never be here again.”
