...population of 37,000. But with the end of colonialism in 1975, Ibo was forgotten. Today, just 3,500 people live in and around the crumbling colonnades and red-tiled townhouses whose gardens still overflow with frangipanis, bougainvilleas and Indian almonds imported by the island's opulent forebears. And somehow, despite being considered for U.N. World Heritage status, Ibo has been barely rediscovered. There are just three small hotels: Miti Miwire (from $50 a night), Cinco Portas Pensão (from $100) and Ibo Island Lodge (from $350 a night per couple). All are beautiful converted houses, but the lodge...
...acceptance speech. They all have the same content ("I'm astonished to receive this ... Thanks to all the wonderful people I worked with ...") and differ only in the grace and humor with which they're delivered. By this standard, Robert Downey, Jr., a winner for best comedic performance, somehow, in Sherlock Holmes, merits an Oscar for his speech, in which he didn't just warn, "if you start playing violins I will tear this place apart," but also "refused" to thank his wife, producer and director; smartly done, sir. Streep, who followed the Best Song winner T-Bone Burnett...

"But unfortunately this could be taken the wrong way by people who don't quite grasp the fact that the day of the gold digger is over and women like me have finally come into their own."

...these days in the one-stoplight town of Frostproof, where the Story Companies, the family's citrus enterprise, has a number of groves. Located in Polk County, which produces more citrus fruit than any place in the U.S., Frostproof got its name in the 1890s, when its trees were somehow spared some of that decade's citrus-killing winter freezes. But the moniker has been sorely tested during this month's Arctic blast, not so much because of the plummeting nighttime temps but because of how long they're lasting this year - almost two continuous weeks so far. And that...
...finally radiate a little mutual charisma. That's mostly thanks to Goode, who had what we'll call the Jeremy Irons role in the 2008 Brideshead Revisited remake, and who is Colin Firth's lover in A Single Man. Here he agreeably inhabits his character even as he somehow stands outside the film, fixing it with the same skeptical eye Declan focuses on Anna. "The countryside's pretty and the pay's OK," Goode's attitude seems to say, "and it's not my disaster." Welcome another gentleman Brit to possible leading-man status in Hollywood. Everyone else involved should...
