Getting a Grant
This is just pure funny and doesn’t need anything more than that. Though of course, that’s what I’m here for. It’s Hugh Grant honoring screenwriter and occasional director Richard Curtis who – among his lengthy resume -- wrote such movies as Notting Hill, Bridget Jones’ Diary; Four Weddings and a Funeral; Love, Actually (which he also directed), War Horse, and Yesterday; as well as co-created with Rowan Atkinson the series Mr. Bean and created the series Blackadder – and a lot more. “A lot more” isn’t just movies and TV, but also includes co-founding Comic Relief which led, in turn, to Red Nose Day. The occasion was Curtis receiving an honorary Oscar at the Motion Picture Academy’s annual Governor’s Award.
When I first saw this a couple of weeks ago, I was wondering how I could have possibly never have seen this or been aware of it. When I went back to track down the video in order to post it here, I looked closer to see if it could help fill in some information about it. It not only did, but it also explained how I could “never” have been aware of it. It turns out that the even had been held…November 27, 2024. Two weeks earlier! So…hot off the presses, here it is.
