Someday I should be prepared for the Oscars
It’s Oscar Night, so I might as well talk about it, right? But first, I have to see who’s nominated and find out if I even saw any of these movies. Last year, I hadn’t seen a single Oscar-nominated movie by the time the awards rolled around.
Okay, I’ve checked. Of movies that were either nominated for themselves or had an actor nominated, I’ve seen Avatar (liked it, but for a technical category, not Best Picture. I mean, come on, it was a 3D remake of Ferngully: The Last Rainforest!), Julie & Julia, and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Soooo, none of the really good ones.
We’ll watch the beginning for Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, but that’s about it. I’ll check out the highlights online tomorrow. We’re going to spend our evening finishing Batman Begins (we got too sleepy to finish it last night) with pizza (and maybe wine – classy, I know).
Oh, we caught up on Lost this morning over breakfast, so Mom, Dad, Mindy, call me tomorrow and we’ll chat.
