The air was crisp with excitement as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the list of nominees for 2010’s big Oscar Show. We all look forward with inexplicable excitement to that magical night when somewhere between deep probing questions like, “Who are you wearing” and the monotony of watching celebs congratulate themselves over and over and over for their own greatness and earth-changing achievement we (the unwashed masses) are allowed to see who Hollywood thinks is the best of their best.

Were there any good movies last year? I wouldn’t know, I don’t go to the movies. Is there anyone who gives a damn about this?

“The Blind Side”. “The Last Station”. “Young Victoria”. Three extraordinary stories from three different countries and all worth your time and money. You won’t be insulted, embarrassed or assaulted and you’ll actually learn things you never knew.

Looks like Oscars will be a bit more sane this year. Previously the movie like “District 9” (best in my opinion) would be kept out of the “Best Picture” category and out of any major category as well.

Taking Chance was one of the best movies I EVER saw...it probably won’t stand a chance.

I must be 35 years now since I have bothered to watch this leftist, hollywood, mutual admiration society lovefest, awards crap.

I'm usually busy with something more important, like taking out the trash, or trimming my toenails...or something.

“Up.” Despite who starred in it it had a good message.
