Unable to avoid 'news' of the Oscars this morning on TV. Why to we have to see incessant repeats of gushing actors? Remember they are actors, and faking sincerity is their stock in trade. The one bit that did make me smile was Olivia Coleman claiming her husband was about to cry - camera pans to him and there a raised eyebrow and a "You reckon" expression on his face. That all did look genuine.
Add in the TV reporter desperately trying to get 'celebrities' to speak to them, and being totally ignored......
Everybody ‘gushes’ these days, someone lays their garden out for them, Gush, they win a prize for cooking a dinner, Gush, then they have to wave hands in front of face, is that to stop the gushing, does it work?

There was a shot of him as she started her speech and he had a tear running down his cheek.
I could not give a fig about those painted mimes. Why is this the lead story on BBC news?
And flapping your hand in front of your face is a silly affectation similar to opening your mouth and dropping your lower jaw when anything mildly interesting is said.
Why can't all car parks have a pay on exit system? Then no-one would get caught out by over running their time by a few minutes. You guessed it My OH coped a 60 quid fine recently, while in my car. She had gone to a place to eat with her work colleagues she did buy a ticket but delays in the restaurant meant she was over her time on the ticket. No sign of any warden, no notice on the car just a shirty penalty charge notice to me as the registered keeper of the car.
Re: all the gushing, it's the same when a footballer scores. They stand in front of the crowd hitting the badge on their shirt, then all their teammates pile in on top of them like they'd just found a cure for cancer. I am waiting for the day when one of them is injured by having his mate jump on him from behind.
When the couple whose home had been made over were trying hard to be polite, and you could see them wondering how quickly they could get to B&Q to get the paint to get rid of it......

Cry, flappy hands, jaw drop, wow! would not come into it.
