Left a good job in the city

So, I was thanked in an Oscars acceptance speech, how many people can say that? Well, me and 44 million other people in South Africa, plus the entire population of New Zealand, apart from the sheep. What gets me is Charlize Theron's accent. If she spoke like everybody else in Benoni, she'd probably need subtitles for an American audience, but a bit of a South African accent wouldn't go amiss. Has she been completely re-programmed? If she hadn't mentioned it, I bet most people would think she was from Beverley Hills.

Big irony: Monster wasn't released in South Africa until last Friday.
