Salud, Kids!
I am stifling a yawn as I peruse the Oscar nominations for this, well, last year.
Yes, The Artist, is excellent and unique.
Yes, many of the films and performances are worthy of a nod.
Yet, when I cast a squinted-eye upon the list of BEST actors, to me, they seem an overall boring lot.
The man in the the YouTube clip for today is anything BUT, and his reward? An honorary statue, toward the end of things.
His personal life aside (and we should all try to do a better job of keeping our fat noses out of the private affairs of others), this man was witty, urbane, handsome, real, unreal. And, has a man EVER looked so perfect while hitting the dirt in an open cornfield (see: North By Northwest)? I think we all know the answer to that question.
Cary Grant.
In my opinion (which doesn't mean much), no one will ever touch the hem of his perfectly creased trousers (wearing plain pants is for the ordinary).
But, keep trying George and Brad and Collin (he comes kinda close), and Johnny.
Sorry boys, you will just never make it to the top of the Cary Grant heap.
See ya 'round the beaches-real or virtual.
