Interesting view in the media world of Italy, lacks little narrative.
Best in Show: The segment about the Journalist.

Reopening Awardtak

During the last couples of weeks I haven't been writing something on this blog, which I am very ashamed off, but shame on the one who gives up. I will probably update my site to something more modern and fresh so stay tuned for more movie news!

PS. There is a late surge of support for Meryl Streep in Best Actress Race, wonder if it helps DS.
