Coming Soon... The 82nd Academy Awards

Can't wait for the Oscars... Check out the official site. Should be fun with Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin hosting. Though I will say, I think it's a bit silly that there are TEN nominated films in the best picture category--were there any films that DIDN'T get nominated for best picture? Oh well. I always enjoy the Academy Awards but I have to admit I've not seen enough of the films or of the films I've seen I've not loved them enough to feel passionately about any of them. As I write this, I have a copy of The Hurt Locker and Bright Star waiting to be watched so maybe I'll soon be eating my words. Happy Movie Month, friends!
