Price of an Oscar

Congratulations to Colin Firth for his 'Best Actor' award. Firth lives just down the road from us, and things could have got a bit ugly in West Umbria if he hadn't won this time.

Congratulations also to the producer who, according to the Financial Times, managed to get £562,000 out of the European Union to encourage distribution outside the UK. With a budget of €11million you would have thought they might have been able to make export sales one of their priorities, without help from the taxpayer.

Still, not to worry, it's not as if there's a recession on.
