Roger and Julie Corman with Author at 2008 Puerto Vallarta Film Festival

It was like old home week on tonight’s Academy Awards telecast.  Roger Corman, who I spent time with at the 2008 Puerto Vallarta Film Festival, was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award.

I worked with Colin Firth, who was nominated for best Supporting Actor and was also a presenter tonight, on the feature film  “Apartment Zero.”

I worked with Lloyd Bridges on the Emmy-nominated mini-series “East of Eden,” and tonight his son, Jeff Bridges, was a presenter and also won the Oscar for Best Actor in “Crazy Heart.”

Special congratulations are also in order for Sandra Bullock and Bob Murawski who I mentioned as being nominated for Oscars in a previous Blog. Tonight Sandra Bullock won the Oscar for Best Actress in “The Blind Spot,” and Bob Murawski won an Oscar for Co-Editing “The Hurt Locker.”

Congratulations Everyone!
