I was just accosted by half a dozen masked felons all screaming for candy! We do not do trick-or-treating in Australia, kids. Nor do we keep candy in this house. However, fearing one year's bad luck or whatever misfortune is supposed to land on my house if I turned them away, I ended up handing over a Fairtrade chocolate bar for the little monsters to fight over.

Australia's submission for the foreign language Oscar, Samson and Delilah, was runner-up for best film at the London Film Festival! Jacques Audiard's A Prophet took best picture, as well as best director, best actor (Tahar Rahim), and best supporting actor (Niels Arestrup). Best actress went to Abbie Cornish for Bright Star, and best supporting actress to Rosamund Pike for An Education. I haven't seen a single one of these films yet, not even the Australian one. This must be remedied! (
