Oscars 2012: Great Perfomances

To mark this year’s Hollywood awards season, Sebastian Kim photographed the actors behind some of this past year’s most impressive portrayals for TIME’s Great Performances gallery. Joel Stein was also on hand to interview those capable capturers of character about the topic at hand: great performances.

Here, those 12 men and women—well, 11 men and women plus one remarkably human dog—discuss the portrayals that have moved them, the thought process behind acting and, of course, their own performances.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

George Clooney Gets Married!

Again, I apologize for interjecting my own personal stories in what is supposed to be a professional venue (so my sisters tell me). But from the looks of my stats, it seems like all of you actually enjoy my personal stories much more anyway. So one more won't hurt, right?

I was at the gym this morning (yes, I'm addicted to that place) and saw this hysterical commercial on The Today Show. I just had to run home (literally) and share it with all of you who may not have seen it yet (although I think it's going viral so it may be yesterday's news by now).

Now, be honest, is this every girls' dream come true or what????? Come on, admit it! And check out the antiques in the hotel room while you're at it so that I can pretend I did some work today.

Was that a little dreamy or what???? I think I've watched this clip 20 times now.

And speaking of dreams, this one was one of mine and it actually came true click here. Maybe not as glamorous as waking up being married to George Clooney.....

Hope you have a fabulous and dreamy weekend, wherever this post finds you.
