Biggest winner for Oscar

The 85th Annual Academy Awards will be live Today in. Who will be the biggest winner for Oscar? The nomination of the 85th Academy Awards were announced on February 20, 2013. Chinese director Ang Lee with his movie "Life of Pi" was nominated for 11 awards. American direction with his movie "Lincoln" was nominated for 12 awards. The movie "Escape from Tehran" already won the best film and the best director awards at the Golden Globes Awards and the sixty-sixth British Academy of Film Awards. But the director Ben Affleck was nominated for the best director this time.

The full awards list came out already. Ang Lee's 'Life of Pi' emerged the biggest winner of the night with four titles to its name - Best Direction, Best Original Score, Best Cinematography and Best Visual Effects. 'Argo' and 'Les Miserables' followed with three Oscars each. 'Lincoln', on the other hand, won only two awards - it was the film that had received the most number of nominations at 12.Best actress is Jennifer Lawrence for 'Silver Linings Playbook'.

As a Chinese, I'm very proud of Ang Lee. He was nominated for best direction 3 times already and won this award for Brokeback Mountain in 2006. It's very hard for non-American director. He is the biggest winner for Oscar 2013.

Who am I?

Who I am? My name is Min Xie. I come from China. I lived in China over 20 years. I have been here for only 3 months. Australia is too different from China. I'm still gettting used to new environment.

I have many hobbies. I love travelling, reading and playing video games. I travelled 3 times per year when I was in China. I have been to many countries before, for example South korea, Japan, Thailand, Maldives, Indonesia and Fiji. Now I'm in Australia. Australia is a beautiful country with many sightseeings. I'm going to travel around Australia this year. My nexy plan is to travel around the world. I like talking to people who live under different background and see their customs when I travel. So this blog will be a travel blog. I will post photos and some funny stories about my trip when I finish my trip.

Being a journalist is my dream. So I chose journalism as my subject when I went to university. I went to a newspaper report office and worked there for 6 months after graduation from university. I love the job, but I decided to live in another city. So I left there and worked as a sales representative for 5 years. When I started to think about migration, I wanted to do this job again. That's why I joined the communication and media course.
