2010 Oscar Winners

Oscar winners abound in the press room! From Sandra Bullock and Jeff Bridges to Kathryn Bigelow — fresh from her historic win for Best Director for The Hurt Locker — and the always entertaining Mo’Nique.

Jeff Bridges: Best Actor, Crazy Heart

When Bridges won, he went back to a moment, too — when his father talked to him about the art of acting.
Bridges said of his iconic character:
“Well, you know — ups and downs. What does the Dude say? Strikes and gutters, man. Sometimes, I think of movies as a great example for the way the world can work. You have all these different opinions, and all these different ways we can work together. And we can make the most beautiful movie we can make, and we have the opportunity to make this the most beautiful world, too. So I hope this furthers that idea.”

GUILT vs SHAME

Guilt is a little different from shame.  We experience shame when we believe others see us as falling short of acceptable standards, and it doesn’t always involve guilt!

Shame serves a useful purpose in prompting people to remain law-abiding, as it helps them stick to those socially responsible behaviors expected by our society.

GUILT TRIP

DO YOU EVER DWELL ON THE FEELING THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING BETTER, DIFFERENTLY, OR NOT AT ALL? IF SO, YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED THE POTENTIALLY DESTRUCTIVE EMOTION KNOWN AS GUILT.

Guilt isn’t always bad.  It shows a degree of healthy responsibility and can serve as a lesson not to make the same mistake again! (For example: “Next tiem I’ll phone to let my partner know I’m going to be late”.)

 At the same time, when taken too far, guilt can be used as a weapon against yourself and others.

 When you chastise yourself for eating small slice of chocolate cake, knowing you are committed to a strict diet, the guilt you feel reflects an unrealistic expectation of yourself.  Similarly, a mother who punishes herself with feelings of guilt when she isn’t always available for her children is also being unrealistic about what she can and can’t do.

 Destructive feelings such as these can turn inwards, and may even lead to a deep sense of depression or despair. 

 The next time you scold yourself for a perceived slip-up, question that basis of your beliefs.  What do you think makes a good mother, for instance, an ideal partner, or a best friend?

 Honestly ask yourself if your standards are way too high to be achievable.  Remember, everyone is human, and in the same way you forgive others, make sure you forgive your own mistakes.

 Another guilty side of guilt can be found within relationships, when it is used to attack a person close to you, like a best friend or partner.

 Often it takes the form of words such as: “If you loved me/were a true friend…you would…”.  Words like these trigger feelings of guilt in the other person, by setting up a test that requires proof of a commitment to you. 

 Used in this way, guilt becomes harmful to the relationship, as it destroys trust, the vital ingredient required for intimacy to develop.

 If you find yourself using guilt as a weapon against another, ask yourself why you feel you cannot trust this person, and whether your actions reflect your own feelings of self-worth.

 If your partner or friend is attempting to make you feel guilty, point it out to him or her.  Perhaps you have made mistakes in the past, but in order for the relationship to move on, you need to be forgiven.
