Interesting that they are having a gala for the announcement of the release. Of course, they may just be combining it some of the usual post-oscar festivities.

I do think this probably at least half post-Oscar celebration, as well as DVD/VHS release announcement...

I can't wait to find out what the surprises are!

I wonder who all will be there...

Hey, I've seen this movie 14 times. I think that warrants an invitation!

When will I get it?

:-)
