This year, I saw all the movies in one category--animated. Grin. I guess that says something about me. I wonder, though, how much of the awards is subjective. Sure Wall-E was great, and I predict will win, but Kung Fu Panda was a total riot, and kept me laughing all the way through. Which was the "best?"
I saw Slumdog Millionaire yesterday, and although I liked it I really didn't think it was worth all the hype. I wanted to see Benjamin Button instead, but it was only on at 5:00 and 8:00 and is such a long movie that my movie companion (that would be my spouse) would have fallen asleep, thus wasting the price of a ticket!
It makes me think about book awards. How many times does something win an award (or NOT win one) and there I am, scratching my head, thinking, HUH?????
It's all a little subjective, don't you think?
Ah well, subjective or not, political or not, I'll be glued to my set tonight. How 'bout you?

My taste is movies is like my taste in books -- I love fun magical/adventurous/comedy/romantic stories. I saw INKHEART not long ago and loved the movie version better than the book version (since book version is darker). And I also loved MAMA MIA so much I went and saw it 6 times--something I've never done with a movie in my entire life. But seeing it made me feel so good inside. I even saw the stage version while in Las Vegas last October. Wonderful.
Anyway, back to watching TV...(and checking email)...
I may watch some of the Oscars, depending on how the evening goes. I like the clothes, too!
I follow movie reviews and Oscar buzz, but I need to have a good memory about it, since it may be a while before I can place a hold on the DVD and even longer until I actually get it from the library.
I was going to tape it then forgot. Oh well they will have pictures of how everyone was dressed and who one. I know it sounds morbid but I like to also watch the Montage that they do to all of the actors that have passed this year and it always makes me sad. This year I would of cried when I saw Heath Ledger. So it is probably better that I didn't see it this year.
Wondering why they don't have some kind of big event for writers. I know some books get made into movies but it would be nice to see some kind of event in recognition of all of the wonderful writers.
