One of my favorite nights of the year approches.....OSCAR NIGHT! I love seeing the gowns, listening to the speeches, and seeing if my Oscar ballot lines up with the Academy. There is one huge plus to this year's festivites- James Franco.
I have seen 7 of then 10 Best Picture Nominees. The battle is between The King's Speech and The Social Network. Sorry, 127 hours.
When I tutor in speech, I keep coming back to a powerful scene in the King's Speech:
King George VI: Listen to me. *Listen to me!*
Lionel Logue: Listen to you? By what right?
King George VI: By divine right if you must, I am your king.
Lionel Logue: No you're not, you told me so yourself. You didn't want it. Why should I waste my time listening?
King George VI: Because I have a right to be heard. I have a voice!
Lionel Logue: [pauses] Yes, you do.
Speaking of speech, I shall now retreat to practice one of my four speeches for the IFA tournament.
