In response to the above acceptance speech at the Grammys….
“Oh, what a night we had last Sunday at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards. The glitz! The Glamour! SEACREST! Where do I begin?? Chillin’ with Lil’ Wayne…meeting Cyndi Lauper’s adorable mother…the complimentary blinking Coldplay bracelet…..much too much to recap. It’s really is still a bit of a blur. But, if there’s one thing that I remember VERY clearly, it was accepting the Grammy for Best Rock Performance…and then saying this:

First and Worst

Posted by Rick Lee, in category Movies, Rick Lee Show, January 29, 2012 11:50 pm


Extra, Extra, read all about it. I’ve officially watched all nine films nominated for Best Picture at the 84th Academy Awards, and in one night, I witnessed the best and one of the worst films of 2011.

What worked – everything. It’s one of the best films of the decade, and it’s already in my top ten of all time. The Artist is not only a beautiful tribute to film and the magic to movie making, it speaks so much with silence unlike the extremely loud and incredibly annoying:

What worked – nothing except for two scenes. 1) When Linda Schell (Sandra Bullock) talks with Thomas Schell (Tom Hanks) on the phone with the Twin Towers as the backdrop. 2) When Linda Schell (Sandra Bullock) – do you see a trend? – explains to Oskar (Thomas Horn) how she discovered what he’s been up to. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is touted as the worst reviewed movie to be nominated for an Academy Award with good reason. The New York Post said it best, “Extremely, incredibly exploitive” and a “quest for emotional blackmail, cheap thrills and a naked ploy for an Oscar.”
