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.”

“When they called my name, I had this feeling I could hear half of America going, ‘Oh no. Come on… Her, again?’ You know. But, whatever.”
– Meryl Streep, Best Actress, The Iron Lady, 2012

“I just said to Matt [Damon], ‘Losing would suck and winning would be really scary.’ And it’s really, really scary.”

“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.”
