Random Oscar Thoughts: pink, chemistry, and dreaming crazier

I love pink.  I loved all the pink on the red carpet.  My favorite dresses were pink: Gemma Chan and Julia Roberts.

I loved A Star is Born.  I love the music.  I love Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s performances.  I think they look at each other like they are in love.  Nowhere was that more apparent than in their duet on Sunday night.   The end of the song, when they were sitting next to each other on the piano bench, has gotten all the attention.  But it was the beginning of the song, when he was singing and looking at her across the piano, that most struck me.  Yowzers.

It was an ad that I loved most of all, though.  Nike’s Dream Crazier ad made me cry.  Run your own race, and don’t stop for anything.  This also resonates with Lady Gaga’s acceptance speech which I loved: don’t stop fighting.  It’s not how often you get knocked down that matters.  It’s only how much you get up that does.  Cliched, and true.
