"Nate Silver will be providing awards-season insight for Carpetbagger leading up to the 83rd Academy Awards on Feb. 27. Mr. Silver is the author of the Times’ FiveThirtyEight blog, which is devoted to the analysis of statistics and data in politics and other areas." (from here.)

the new york times knows how to make a girl happy.  my favorite political analyst will participate in a discussion about my love of movies?  i'm kind of losing my mind with excitement.

while we're on the subject of awards shows, my analysis of the golden globes winners from a couple weeks ago:
yay natalie portman and colin firth!

yay chris colfer and jane lynch!
i heart jim parsons.
the end.
