No matter how low I feel, you always, always put a smile on my lips.

Oscar dream
My dream for Viggo's Oscar has long been busted, but that does not mean that I still cannot reminisce about that night.
Look at my beautiful Viggo with his adorable niece above.
I wish I know what Viggo's brothers look like. I am assuming all are gorgeous intelligent men. Can you imagine The Mortensens clan get togethers? Judging from the gene pool, I will say heads will definitely turn!
Viggo's message from perceval press
As the dust has by now nearly settled on the release of "Eastern Promises" in theatres and on DVD around the world, I take this opportunity to wish the good and honest law enforcement professionals in Russia and in all other countries continued courage and luck. We need you now more than ever in our troubled times. It is to those all too few noble individuals that I dedicated my impersonation of 'Nikolai Luzhin'. Thank you for your brave efforts to serve truth, compassion, and justice. V.M.
He actually posted it a while back,but I just now reposted it as I've been behind in updating this blog. My apologies! I know there is no coverage of his oscar news on this site either. I've been religiously following his news but just have not been updating the blog due to illness or laziness or blogger's apathy.
But, of course, my love and devotion to this unique man with the admirable vision, impeccable integrity (artistic and humanistic) and a big heart, not only stay strong and true, but also continue to grow every day.
Love thy Viggo.

New message from Viggo
As the British Academy of Film and Television Arts award ceremony is this sunday in London, and the movie Eastern Promises is nominated for Best British Film, I take this opportunity to thank and salute the incomparable David Cronenberg and his entire team for the beautiful professional work done to tell this story. Since our movie unfortunately did not receive (much deserved, in my opinion) nominations for Directing or Best Picture from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Oscars), this seems like an appropriate moment to say goodbye and wish continued good travelling to all involved. Win or lose, this movie is unique and will stand the test of time as a thought-provoking and finely-crafted piece of storytelling. History will show that David Cronenberg has been the rare top-level movie director that has improved from project to project, decade after decade, and never really looked back. There is no director alive in the world today who is working at a higher level technically, artistically, philosophically, or in terms of consistently delivering stories as entertaining as they are unsettling. A master. They do not come along very often, and some of us have taken note. There are many among our actors and technical crew who also ought to have been recognised by the various prize-giving organisations for the excellence of their creative contributions. Their exclusion takes nothing away from their enduring accomplishments. I am proud to represent our team just a little longer.
Spasiba! Viggo.
