The Oscars -- In Memorium

It's always the most moving part of the Oscar ceremonies for me, a reminder of how fast time flies whether you are or aren't having fun.

On a personal note, I can't believe I missed the news that Horton Foote and Bud Schulberg died last year. If you don't know who they are, that's Hollywood. Two of the greatest screenwriters who ever lived, and the vast majority of Americans don't have a clue. That's how it goes for those who aspire to write for the movies.

On a separate note, it's scary to think about how many young and talented entertainers were lost last year: Michael Jackson, Britney Murphy, Farah Fawcett, Dom DeLuise, Patrick Swayze...

We don't have a lot of time to mess around, people. So get busy doing the thing you were meant to do, the reason you were born into this life.
