The Oscars

The Oscar nominees came out yesterday and I have to say that I have not seen one of the movies that was nominated. I am also pretty sure that I haven't seen any of the movies that got any nominations at all, which is kind of pathetic since I like to think that I am still in the thick of all things celebrity. I guess having a magazine subscription and watching the red carpet doesn't really count.

I have seen two movies in the theatre since the Lady was born--Juno, which was an Oscar nominee last year and The Dark Knight (I guess I did see one movie with a nod) and that is it. It kind of saddens me because I think that my husband and I probably saw on average 20 movies a year together. He is a big movie guy, you know the kind of guy who quotes the trailer even though the movie hasn't even come out yet--yeah he's that guy. I will find him up at like two in the morning on a Tuesday watching Rounders for the eight hundredth time just because he likes movies and he can't sleep. The other night he started watching Casino from the middle at like 1o:30 p.m. while I tried in vain to fall asleep to the heavy accent of Joe Peschi and a screaming scene with Sharon Stone. I think my heavy sighing did get the point across eventually.

Anyway, I am thinking of trying to see at least one of the nominated movies this year. My vote is for Slumdog Millionaire because I hear it is good, it doesn't start Brangalina and I always love an underdog story.

Let me know if you have any Oscar favorites for this year or if you saw any of the movies nominated.

I am really trying to get back to this blog not only for my own sanity but for the sake of all you readers who are procrastinating at work!
