The first two seasons of “Beauty” entranced viewers; mostly women; with the unusual love story of Vincent and Catherine; the incredible photography, classic literature and poetry and the melodic cadences and chemistry between Ron Perlman and Linda Hamilton. With the risk of cancellation, viewers inundated the studio with a mass letter writing campaign to save the show and cbs complied; unfortunately without the participation of Ms. Hamilton. The third season's first two episodes set up Vincent's salvation, Catherine's subsequent pregnancy and corruption in her office that leads to her kidnapping and ultimate murder. The remaining episodes deal with Vincent's grief at her loss; the coming together of Vincent and Elliott Burch, played to perfection by the late, great Edward Albert Jr., to find her killer and her missing child. Diana enters the picture, as a dedicated police detective, dealing with the hardest of cases; Joe brings her aboard to solve Catherine's murder.
Aristocats additional features - the Fun with Language game would be a bit difficult for a younger child to play on their own - the places to click are a bit subtle and not always easy to choose or check. I would recommend playing with an adult in order for young "k's" to fully enjoy.
Glen Hansard: Thanks! This is amazing. What are we doing here? This is mad. We made this film two years ago. We shot on two Handycams. It took us three weeks to make. We made it for a hundred grand. We never thought we would come into a room like this and be in front of you people. It's been an amazing thing. Thanks for taking this film seriously, all of you. It means a lot to us. Thanks to the Academy, thanks to all the people who've helped us, they know who they are, we don't need to say them. This is amazing. Make art. Make art. Thanks.
Marketa Irglova: Hi everyone. I just want to thank you so much. This is such a big deal, not only for us, but for all other independent musicians and artists that spend most of their time struggling, and this, the fact that we're standing here tonight, the fact that we're able to hold this, it's just to prove no matter how far out your dreams are, it's possible. And, you know, fair play to those who dare to dream and don't give up. And this song was written from a perspective of hope, and hope at the end of the day connects us all, no matter how different we are. And so thank you so much, who helped us along way. Thank you.
Thank you very much. There have been some great Austrian filmmakers working here, thinking of Billy Wilder, Fred Zinnemann, Otto Preminger, most of them had to leave my country because of the Nazis, so it sort of makes sense that the first Austrian movie to win an Oscar is about the Nazis' crimes. Making this movie, I had a most brilliant cast, a wonderful crew, the best of all families to support me at home, so actually, it was easy for me. Thank you very much.
Forty-eight years ago, my father was privileged enough to receive an Oscar, and I'm deeply, deeply honored that you put me in his company tonight. To the brilliant Paul Greengrass, to Frank Marshall, thank you, thank you, thank you. To everybody in post-production, led by my good friend and colleague, Mark Fitzgerald, each and every one of you share in this award with me. To Universal Pictures, to the Academy, my deepest, deepest thanks. To the amazing Matt Damon, thank you. And to my family, especially Anne, Anno, Ava and Fiona. My kids, I love you. Thank you so, so much.
