Hear Me Discuss The Oscars On Dutch Radio & Pick My Own Winners
Last Oscar Night aka Annual Dreamfest I attended a wonderful Oscar viewing party with ballots, Oscars Bingo and pun-y food (Mad Max Curry Road, Bridge of Pies, The Big ShortBread). And while doing so I also chatted with Dutch National Radio Channel 1 to discuss the Oscars, Hollywood Oscar parties, my career and more. If you speak Dutch, head here to listen to the fragment. It’s Part 3, about 12 minutes in.
And while we’re at it, I’d just like to hand out my personal Oscars…
While I’m still running around Los Angeles to wrap things up and prepare for my flight back to Amsterdam tomorrow, 
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: despite rumours of everyone being fake and out for themselves in Los Angeles, I’ve met some of the most genuine, kind and giving people there. Samba Schutte is one of them. (Yup, that’s Samba and not Thriller era Michael Jackson.) Samba is a Dutch-Mauritanian Actor who moved to Los Angeles on an O-1B visa a few years ago. He is now a regular at The World Famous Comedy Store and recently played the lead in the film Haleema that premiered at the Berlinale Film Festival.
It was June 2012 and I was on the corner of Hollywood & Highland, in front of the Roosevelt Hotel, sweating like any Dutch girl would at that time of the year at that location. But an egg shell colored Beetle with a sassy brunette at the wheel came to relieve me. That is how I first met Grace and why I had no choice but to like her. That and the fact that she is a down to earth, sweet and smart actress, not always abundant in LaLaLand.
