It certainly wasn't the best Oscars I've seen. Rather boring actually. I really thought "Lincoln" should have won more but, oh, well. Actually we only saw 3 of those nominated: Life of Pi, Argo and Lincoln.
And the winner is......... Argo!
It was rather neat the person and place where the winner was announced......Our first lady, Michele Obama and in the White House. Both Lincoln and Argo were regarding happenings that involved the White House so I'm glad one of those won!
I'm in the middle (literally) of reading "The Rivals" by Doris Goodwin. And Ive read other books on Lincoln also through the years. A most important time in our country. The Rivals tells the background on how Lincoln was elected and those he ran against. Then how all of those people of differing opinions worked together to bring our country back together again. It always amazes me how little things affect the outcomes of momentous moments. And how "what ifs" could have so dramatically changed those outcomes.
