nominate me for an oscar please?

I'm lying in bed with tonsillitis. How fantastic?  I am also trying very hard to stay awake for the oscars, which only come on, on south african television, at 3 am. I suppose I could just watch the rerun tomorrow? But thats not quite the same.

Just for interests sake here are some of the nominations. dum dum dumm
Best picture:
'American Hustle'
'Captain Phillips'
'Gravity'
'Her'
'Nebraska'
'Philomena'
'12 Years a Slave'
'The Wolf of Wall Street'

Best actor:
'Christian Bale'
'Bruce Dern'
'Leonardo di Caprio'
'Chiwetel Ejiofor'
'Mathew McConaughey'

Best Actress:
'Amy Adams'
'Cate Blanchett'
'Sandra Bullock'
'Judi Dench'

Now I have only seen one of the movies on that list and that is 'Gravity'. I can add that I have watched all the trailers for the others. But that doesn't count so I do feel very disappointed in myself to say the least. The Oscars is such a glamorous and elite event. I am so happy that Ellen De Generes is the host, she's such a remarkable woman.

So let's allow the anticipation to commence...

I did attend the Design Indaba this morning and I must say I was a bit disappointed. There were amazing things but also a lot of repetition from the previous year and I don't know it just missed that oomf. There was a 3D model printer which was incredible though. ahh. I mean how does it even work?? I think I stood there for at least an hour watching it "print" something.
