Congratulations, indeed!   After 4 nominations, DD-L now has his SECOND Oscar (and he DEFINITELY should have won for his portayal of Bill the Butcher in GONY too!)! Can't believe it's been 20 years for him since his last win for "My Left Foot" but it's great to see him getting the recognition he so richly deserves!   
And his acceptance speech was AWESOME! He first thanked Rebecca & then he dedicate the win to his grandfather, his father, and all THREE of his sons (Gabriel, Ronan & Cashel).

| He sure does and seems like such a "sweetheart" very shy and endearing. Really looking forward to seeing this movie. Have you seen it Diane and is it indeed excellent?. From the clips I've seen it does look like DDL deserved his oscar. |

He's had those shoes for years and they've made many appearances in weird circumstances. Somebody on another website suggested they may be his "lucky" shoes.

| Perhaps he made them. Wasn't he living in Italy for a while, learning how to make shoes? |

| ...and those pants he's wearing look about 2" too long! Tacky, tacky, tacky, but still better than that doofus outfit he was wearing in Germany. |

Oh, I thought he was just trying to blend in with the locals there. See? Look at this German clothing line, touted as "traditional and cosmopolitan":

| German clothing has always kind of scared me. Anybody remember the spoof skit of "Sprockets" on Saturday Night Live where a scary goth type guy in black yelled "Touch my monkey" and danced strangely? That character, Dieter, always embodied German fashion for me. And these pictures reinforce my feelings. |

| German fashion was even scarier when they wore those red armbands with the black swastika in a white circle... |

| You know, I loved SNL but I never "got" Sprockets. That was one of those that made me scratch my head. Now, Ed Grimley, THAT was funny. |

I guess I got Sprockets because I unfortunately had a lot of the odd artsy types portrayed on Sprockets at my college in Yonkers, NY. There was one guy from Switzerland who looked so much LIKE Sprockets that people used to go up to him and ask "Do you want to touch my monkey?"
He never got it.
trust me, however, Sprockets was based on REAL PEOPLE!!!
thank God DDL looks nothing like those people...I think I could probably handle him even in a bad Sprockets outfit. |
