how have i not posted about the oscars yet?? bottom line: if you haven't seen the hurt locker or up yet, get thee to a blockbuster or your netflix queue and rent them pronto. i loved them. and they won lots of awards - yay! it makes me happy when movies that i like get greater recognition as good films. and, let's be honest, it makes me feel cultured. [mom, seriously, how have you not seen up yet? you will love it.] willis and anderson had a bunch of people over to their house, fed us girl scout cookies, and we watched the broadcast together. what made the boring awards more interesting was (a) tivo, and (b) oscar ballots! we filled out ballots for the 24 televised awards, guessing who would win in each category. anderson and i both did better than a.o. scott, the new york times's film critic (his picks were available online). this will forever be my claim to fame.
[yes, it was dumb luck that anderson and i did better than a.o. scott, a man who actually SAW all the films that were nominated. we don't care. we saw a lot of the films! okay, okay - a fair number.]
