marketa + glen


Am so happy for these two. Her unassuming speech stole the show.

I think this is the first real time I've been more excited about the Best Song award than Best Movie!
So happy they won :)

Totally agree. Was my favorite part of the entire show. Both of them are just darling. Whenever she talks, she has something amazing to say.

Jill said...

i was so relieved when they let her come back out.
i have their song on repeat today.

Wow. Everyone is blogging about this. So I watched the Oscar acceptance speech on youtube. Hooray for truly beautiful people in this world. I hope this is a sign of things to come...

Kaylen said...

Awww I wrote about this on my blog! Cute.

Word.

Tiffany said...

That was my favorite part, hands down.

Shea said...

I didn't see the awards show, but wow, I loved the movie (if you count crying through the entire thing as love). Amazing! I need to buy the soundtrack. Thanks for the reminder! - shea

Yay! It made my Oscars, but that could just be patriotism talking. I saw the Commitments on the weekend too... it was funny to see Glen so changed since then!

Dede said...

Aimee said...

ditto. i got all teary. I am a sucker for these kind of stories.

Uncle Beefy said...

AGREED!!! When only he got the chance to speak I was all, like, "What the?!?!?" So I was uber happy when Mr. Stewart brought her back out saying "Enjoy your moment." You bet!

Lane said...

Ditto! She is so fresh-faced and earnest. There is something about them that is just goodness.

Design Addict said...

wow, i loved the movie and as soon as i finished watching it i downloaded the soundtrack from itunes. i am so happy for them! it was such a wonderfully sweet and endearing movie and i felt the same way watching them perform and then give their speeches when they won! yay for the little guy!

Catherine said...

So wonderful, I watched the whole thing waiting for their performance and hoped so much they would win. I wish Glen had let Mar speak first tho, then he would be a true gentleman. She did make up for it with her beautiful words though!

i didn't really enjoy the movie, but I loved that they won. I think the song is beautiful and has a great hook.

Best in Show! So glad they won and her speech could not have been sweeter.

Couldn't agree more. Her words moved me to tears. I think her sentiment embodies what those awards are supposed to be about: being a craftsman of your trade, having the balls to develop a dream, going for a long shot, having the conviction to bring your vision to life and enjoying the respect & admiration of your community. It's easy to lose sight of that with all the admittedly beautiful red dresses and styled celebs. She was a breath of fresh air.

yes, she was so sweet, and they are both adorable (i'm a sucker for irish accents!) i am dying to see that movie now. :)
