Wow - you really do take the Oscars seriously, huh?
Can't wait to read your fashion review of the red carpet entrances.
Take it seriously? What was your first clue? ;)
Here's why I'm posting after 1 a.m.: I couldn't sleep because I couldn't remember who was nominated LAST YEAR, so I had to look it up.
Really, it's quite an addiction. D and I call each other daily during January to give each other updates on the films we've seen.
I am so ashamed to admit I have seen very few of these movies.
I cannot wait to see the show!
Thanks for posting this list.

Well, not everyone is obsessed like me about seeing as many of the movies as possible (no, I haven't seen ALL of them...can't stand Keira Knightly, the woman who looks like she needs to poop).
And that's a good thing!
Sick job on predictions, TJ. Wow. I thought of you when PSH won (remember when you saw his bizzaro twin? That's from Seinfeld, if you're not a watcher.)
I actually was pretty convinced that Crash had a good chance of winning, though I didn't change my vote. That was pretty thrilling!
