If The Artist wins for Directing, does that mean they may give the Best Picture win to another film?

Just a thought...

Can The Bridesmaids be at My Wedding?

::Drink!!!::

Wow Factor

Wow....

...Angelina Jolie...

...wow...

...working the crowd, showing it off...

...wow...

...and she knows it.

Wow.

There It Is!

The Oscars finally found its footing.  Never underestimate the "What Are They Thinking?" bit and Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis dressed in white, banging cymbals in front of Brad and Angelina.

Love Her

Emma Stone is as cute as a button.  Enough said.

Not Pixar, but Close Enough

Without Pixar in the mix this year, I didn't know who to root for in the Best Animated Feature Film category.  Luckily, Rango was one of the nominees.  I'm so happy that, even without Pixar, a clever, creative, fun animated film still got to win.

P.S. I want to see Pixar's Brave.
