Best movie : Million Dollar Baby
Best actress : Hilary Swank for 'Million Dollar Baby'
Best actor : Jamie Foxx for 'Ray'
Best realisator : Clint Eastwood for 'Million Dollar Baby'
Best support actress : Cate Blanchett pour 'Aviator'
Best support actor : Morgan Freeman pour 'Million Dollar Baby'

But that was so obvious ...

Weather of the day ...

In Munich, the weather today is : coldy and foggy ! It's not snowy, but we have a lot of snow left on the ground. We are living in the snow since the beginning of February, and I do hope Spring will come soon !

Quote of the day ...

"Only sick music makes money today; our big theaters subsist on Wagner" - Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900), Der Fall Wagner, Section 5

Friedrich Nietzsche is a German philosopher (1844 - 1900).

Poor Friedrich, what would he say about some of our modern music ????
