Huge congratulations to Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova for winning the Oscar for best song - Falling Slowly, from the film Once. Glen's band - The Frames - have been one of my favourites for years. See them live if you ever get the chance.

Here's a clip (not from the film).



I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.

Hooray for Glen and Marketa! I ran out and bought the soundtrack the night after seeing this movie. I really enjoyed the story, the mood-- the songs! Really touched me.

So, well done, folks. You deserved it!

From 'Outspan' in 'The Commitments', to getting an Oscar from John Travolta, in 17 years. Not bad!!

Ack, I just played that clip and I'm crying. I'm not supposed to cry this early in the morning!

Just gorgeous. I can't believe he's playing that beat-up guitar! I was sure he was using a stunt guitar for these songs. Lovely how they are just standing in the woods, singing along with the birds. Two people who deserve the acknowledgement! *applauds*

I've seen him play the same guitar live a couple of times.

Oh, and they are an item, apparently.
