The American Academy Award nominations came out the other day, for those of you who care about that sort of thing. Among the honorees, Armagh man Seamus McGarvey, nominated in the Best Cinematography category for his work on the movie "Atonement", Saoirse Ronan, only 13 years old, from Co Carlow is up for best supporting actress in the same film, and the song "Falling Slowly" from the Dublin-based film "Once" and co-written by Frames frontman and film co-star Glen Hansard. Additionally, Daniel Day Lewis, who lives in Co Wicklow, is nominated as best lead actor in "There Will be Blood".
In more Kansas City Irish Fest-centric drama news, the new live theater here at our home in Crown Center has opened with Irish author Samuel Beckett's play “Krapp’s Last Tape.”
You know, I think a great idea would be a movie about the Kansas City Irish Fest. We got all kinds of drama here. Or it could be a madcap comedy. The big question is casting. Who would you cast as, say president Ed Scanlon? VP Ed Follis? Executive director Keli Wenzel? You can find a picture of the staff on our homepage, and the directors are there in the front row.
In the role of Uncle Bloggy, I'm thinking this guy.

Scanlon should be played by Howdy Doody.
Thank you Barbara
Ed Scanlon
Keli--Sarah Jessica Parker
Danny--Heath Ledger
Ed F--Jake Gyllenhaal
Mary Alice--Brenda Fricker
Erin--Ricky Lake
Laren--Sigourney Weaver
Rory--Albert Finney
Ed S--Mickey Rooney
Barney--Phillip Seymour Hoffman
Ronan-- Harvey Fierstein
Ronan-Harvey Fierstein. Hysterical! And, uh, I might have to be recast.
Danny. Heath Ledger. I guess you figured out how to get over Ed F.
I think Laren needs to be a little closer to her age -- Sandra Bullock
My vote is Julia Louis-Dreyfus for Erin, Charlize Theron for Keli, Sandra Bullock for Laren, and Susan Sarandon for Mary Alice. Trained chimps for all the guys.
Irish Fest board girls are hot.
ALL the Irish Fest girls are hot, not just the board girls!
you rock I like the Susan Sarandon thing!
You forgot Charlie's Angels, you know, the Regan girls.
