the view is taking a week off. Blame it on belated birthday celebrations enjoyed to the fullest last night and well into the early hours of this morning.
Special thanks must go firstly to all the lovely people who came along to share in my burgeoning crawl towards the mid 30s and to Le Savy Fav, without whom the night may have been all the less memorable, and mind-blowing.
Having said that, I can't resist pointing you in the direction of a handful of cultural highlights for the week; tonight of course is Oscar night. Suffering from Firth fatigue? Probably best to stay away, so here are my tips for the 'big ones':
Best Film: The Social Network (David Fincher)
Best Actor: Colin Firth, The King's Speech
Best Actress: Natalie Portman, Black Swan
Best Director: David Fincher, The Social Network
Not all of which are who I think deserve to win of course.
This Friday sees the Mercury Awards of 2009's obligatory jazz act, Led Bib, play the Kazimier, a reissue for John Huston's odd couple in adversity classic, The African Queen and, ahem, The Levelllers and The Wonderstuff rolling back the years at the O2 Academy - Gross.
The usual, full service will resume next week folks.
