The 79th Oscar Awards

The 79th Oscar Awards is on TV now. When The Departed won the award for the best screenplay, the narrator said it is based on the Japanese movie Infernal Affair. That's a mistake (idiot). The Inffernal Affair is a Hong Kong movie.

不到一分钟，一个朋友打来电话，“为什么说是日本电影？”我说, “搞错了。接下来肯定文学城上会有人说此事。” 说不定，就此起又因此引发网友的抗日情节。

Now Al Gore is on stage for best documentary movie. I think he may have a chance to enter Hollywood.

猪年到！

BECKHAM HEADS TO HOLLYWOOD

When I first read the news headline, I thought Beckham was going to join the entertainment industry. Then I realized that he is going to Los Angeles Galaxy, a team which I have never heard before.

AP News--
"LOS ANGELES - Bend this, TomKat and Brangelina: Becks 'n' Posh are coming to Hollywood. And David Beckham didn't even have to audition to become the next American Idol. The most recognized soccer player on the planet — fashion icon, tabloid fixture, marketing giant — announced a deal Thursday to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy."

Now my questions is who he will be playing with/against. Soccer, esp. professional soccer, is not the major sport in the States. Here, the most popular sports are American football, baseball and basketball. Though soccer is popular among kids of certain ages (about 8-12), MLS doesn't have a big audience here in the States. I wonder how the team will be able to get enough money to pay his $250 million contract. Maybe in the future, we will see Beckham's commercials?
