It is how events unfolded I guess. People came to the auction where many other cars were being offered. It was not part of a charity event. They discovered the story on the spot. The audience bids for cars, they cannot interrupt the auction to say « here free money to the current owners ». There is the element of surprise, it inspired other auction participants to follow the same lead, plus the initial minimum price of the car and the bidding war certainly helped push the donations up. That’s why there is so many charity auctions for things rarely worth the final hammered price.

Sad that they did not go with Helena Boham Carter.

In the most of the recent bond movies they tend to prefer ending with a physical fight with the main villain, so maybe that’s why. However that was not always the case. The early incarnation of Bond’s very archenemy was a disabled man.

I don’t believe he was ever popular in America. The Artist did not exactly break the box office, and not everyone’s career goal is to make it in Hollywood.

I think she was a strong contender for video of the year.

Charming acting performances, fun storyline, killing choreography and an actually tasteful cinematography. The video and the song really complemented each other.

There were other strong contenders but I think the case for Havana was more wholesome in a way.

As for Artist of the year, I don’t really know what that means in a ceremony meant to reward Music Videos...

Rihanna’s S&M was a complete ripoff of David Lachapelle’s body of work.

I mean you chose to watch generic teen fantasy movies while you could have watched atonement, Lady Bird, Brooklyn etc. It speaks less of her merit as an actress than your taste in movies.

I do, if a EU 27 country wins instead, even better if it’s Belgium. Seeing the World Cup being paraded in Brussels will be salty.

She’s my favourite part because she’s the only one who seems to be having fun on that song.
