Oscar For Once

Last night Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova received an Oscar for best original song for “Falling Slowly” from the movie Once.

"Once" winning Best Original Song Oscar

I watched the movie last year for the first time and received the DVD as a birthday gift on Saturday; I can’t stress how much I love this movie and can’t wait to watch it over and over again. Set in Dublin, the movie is a must for all film and music lovers.
