The "Oscars" as my mother always called them was a family event at my house growing up. With both of my parents now dead, those rituals are more important than ever.

They were in my parents house also, but that is when I could look at them without contempt probably some 20 years ago. I tried again, one year about 7 years ago but ended up at some point disgusted with some actor and turned it off.

BTW I love going to the movies always have. I did a very interesting study this week after all the articles about the decline in movie going....I went to box office mojo and looked up and counted the movies in the top 100 I had watched. This year I watched 16 of the top 100, sounds like a lot until I went back and figured I had gone to the movies on average 25 times a year with the largest numbered year at 32 movies seen in theater.

Then I looked at the list of movies that are coming out this year and counted only 8 that I might be interested in going to this year.
