LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
Rita Moreno
Thank you, Chris. For a TV person, I'm sad to say I don't have cable so I wasn't able to watch these. And I do love awards shows. I don't know why Rita Moreno winning a lifetime achievement tickles me but it does.
ReplyDeleteAnd finally every time American Hustle clips are shown, you can see why it wins. In pieces, the trailer etc, the movie is something to behold! In fact each time I see a clip it has this uncanny ability of convincing me I saw 'that' movie and not the one that was remarkably less interesting. I guess there's a genius in that that deserves to be awarded come to think of it. Ha!
