Well, this is a bit embarrassing.
A few lovely bloggers have nominated us for blogging awards in the past two years, and we’re only just now thanking them.
With the hope that this really is Better Late Than Never, we would like to honour these fab folks. (If you haven’t already visited their blogs, you ought to treat yourself.)
Realweegiemidget is a versatile, smart, and funny writer. Her personality sparkles in her reviews, in the same way Classic Hollywood actress Jean Arthur shone in her films.
Extra Life makes you think about film in new ways, much like movie producer/director Orson Welles did, and he has a way of adding dozens of titles to your Must Watch List.
The Classic Movie Muse is one of those who brings Old Hollywood glamour to the web. Spending time on her site is like watching a vintage Audrey Hepburn movie.
I Found It at the Movies is witty and observant – almost nothing gets past her. She’s also terrific fun, much like the couple in The Thin Man series, Nick and Nora Charles.
The writers at PEPS have vision, scope, and a passion for history. Their enthusiasm in tackling big projects reminds us of Classic Hollywood director Cecil B. DeMille.
Taking Up Room is always a treat. She’s entertaining and astute, and it’s a pleasure to read her thoughts. Her essays remind us of cheeky author/screenwriter Anita Loos.
Silver Screen Classics makes you feel like a real Smarty Pants. He brings a scholar’s background to his wonderful film reviews, in the same vein as film critic/historian David Thomson.
Thanks so much for this wonderful honour and your lovely words. And Jean Arthur does sound like she’d be my kind of buddy, just read this fabulous random quote (I couldn’t have written better)… “I loved sinking my head into Cary Grant’s chest.”

Think that sums it up how we’d feel in a movie with Mr Grant for quite a lot of us…!

Wow! What a great start to my morning! And I love Nick and Nora Charles! I’m a bit of both I suppose–part detective, part Arch Observer. 🙂 Lover of the occasional champagne.
Thanks so much, Ruth! 🙂

Thank you so much, Ruth! It seems like so long since I’ve seen a WordPress notification in my inbox. I’ve really been taking a break from my blog, but I want to get back into it this year. Thanks for giving me an incentive to do so! I miss joining the great blogathons hosted by you and my other old movie-loving friends.
I really appreciate the award and the kind words. I hope you had a nice holiday season!
Yours Hopefully,
Tiffany Brannan

Hey, thanks for the recognition! I’m glad you’ve enjoyed my film suggestions. I could never claim to be as good as Orson Welles; I’ll consider it a victory if I turn out to be 1% as talented as him. Nonetheless, I appreciate the comparison.
