Penelope Cruz: Best Supporting Actress Oscar - 02/23/09 03:25 AM
Congratulations to the Madrid-Born Penélope Cruz for winning an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress last night for her work in Vicky Cristina Barcelona. We Spaniards & near-Spaniards are proud of you.
I wasn't able to stay up to watch the ceremony but am sure I'll see "P's" Oscar announcement and acceptance - and several subsequent interviews - over the next SEVERAL days or months (just like when Javier Bardem won Best Supporting Actor award a couple (?) years ago).
The movie, written & directed by Woody Allen, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, was a good one. I wouldn't say it's one of the best movies of the year, no, but "P" was good - so was "Jarvier Bardem" (as Winona Ryder pronounced HIS name for best supporting actor nomination) in the same movie. It's not a movie which will make you laugh a lot but it may make you smile a few times.
The world's sports and media are certainly taking notice of Spain's jewels, that's for sure!
Saludos, MadridMan
