How often does THAT happen, a parent playing the role before -- something to be NOTED, at least?!1 A critic said she has not managed to deliver a graceful acceptance speech in all of the previous wins, and this was no exception, a list of names, albeit adoring of the spouse. But as I reconsider, to me this might mean she's a born-in-the-trunk, not a surface, type. But really, the mother?!1
