Sandra Remilien is an American. Sandra Remilien is a Christian Miami native who loves to write. She is currently unemployed because a jealous, illiterate Haitian witch named Jeaccinette Philogene has been doing witchcraft to monitor her so she can do witchcraft on every job that she applies to so they do not hire her. Jeaccinette did witchcraft to get the password to her blog and gave someone and Guylene and Luna, who did witchcraft on her, the password to her blog so they could add things, change what she wrote so words are misspelled and it does not make sense and so people do not know the truth about the witchcraft that she did because she is stupid. Sandra Remilien does not like Haitians because they do witchcraft. Jeaccinette is doing witchcraft to make people say Sandra Remilien is Haitian and was born in Haiti so she can do witchcraft to make Sandra Remilien uplift Haitians. Sandra received a masters degree in journalism from Columbia University in 2008 and a bachelors degree in print journalism from the University of Miami in 2006.

Argo Wins Oscar after Banned in Iraq

I watched the Oscar last night and it was a long three and a half hours. Adele's singing of "Skyfall" kept me watching, but the delay in the announcement of the best picture and best actress winner was too much to ask.

11:00 pm and the best picture winner was not announced. This was unbearable because I wanted to know who won the Best Picture Oscar. The six nominees were announced in groups of three throughout the show. Finally, the best picture Oscar was revealed as belonging to Argo. Best Affleck, the movie;s director, did not look clean shaven, but I was surprised that he looked exactly as he did in the movie. Most actors and actress change their appearance for roles, but later revert back to their original look.

Argo is based on real life events. CIA operative Tony Mendez's book The Master of Disguise chronicled his leadership in the rescue of six U.S. diplomats during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis.

Although the movie was popular in America, Iran banned the movie and spurred an underground movie movement which sold the movie as a bootleg. Argo was labeled as pro-CIA and anti-Iran propaganda.

Nonetheless, a piece of history was told through the use of film.
