The Doodle Daily

A great night at the Academy Awards.  The Artist (no surprise won Best Picture, Best Actor & Director leading to a sum of 5 awards overall) Hugo, too walked away with 5 technical awards.  But my biggest shriek of joy came when Meryl Streep won Best Actress.   After a 30 year dry spell…. 30 years since Spohie’s Choice, and 17 nominations in all she finally has #3.  So well deserved.  Even though my Oscar Ballot I predicted Viola Davis from “The Help”, I was over the moon to see Meryl ascend the stage in gold to pick up the gold.

The hugest surprise of all night was that the show came in at just over 3 hrs.  Is that a record for one of the shortest shows in years. The show moved at a swift pace and as always Billy Crystal was amazing as always.  So good to have him back and in superb form.

My night of nights is now over and we can only look forward to next year.  I hope you had fun at the oscars too.

I now wish that I had a Meryl doodle or an Artist doodle ready to go, but alas I was too engrossed in the show to draw.  So here’s my Oscar Night Mandala

Oscar Night Mandala

Tonight is Oscar night.  One of my favorite nights of the year.

This year Billy’s Back and I ready for a good show.

Have you made your predictions

Is “The Artist” going to run away with it?

Does it have any competition?

Does “The Help” need any help?

Will Margret help Meryl make it to 3?

We will find out tonight, with a wrap up tomorrow.

I was trying to think of something to doodle that would compliment the Oscars well.

I have done the statue in the past, but couldn’t think of anything different.

So I’ll leave you with a question mark, to ponder who will win?

The Question is, "Who will win?"
