The Oscars

[lph]

heh - this reminded me of when I was in hospital and had just given birth. Son had fallen asleep, and I dared to venture out of my room and wobbily down the hall with bassinet in tow to the tv room, where a handful of other women were watching the Norwegian version of the Oscars. I remember saying "Oh yeah, remember that one" and "Oh, I liked that one!" a couple of times.

And one of the other women turning around and saying in a dry tone - "First kid, huh?"

Ha!

And now you're an expert on animated kids' movies, right?

I hate awards shows and haven't been to a movie theatre in years but I vote for "Milk"

I see a lot of movies, but none of the nominated films really wowed me this year. I like seeing what everyone's wearing, but I've grown to hate the awards shows themselves. When I do watch, I end up tutning the sound down during the acceptance speeches. I hate to hear actors using them to discuss politics (regardless of whether I happen to agree with them). And I really hate it when they get overly emotional, as if winning an acting award is on par with a Nobel Prize or something. Get a grip! The self-importance of these shows is laughable.

BF is a huge movie buff, so I've seen a few of the movies that are nominated. Of the ones I've seen, Slumdog Millionaire has been the best. I wasn't impressed with The Curious Case of Benjamin Button... Most people that I've talked to have the same opinions as me. I really enjoyed Slumdog. It really highlighted an area of the world I am certainly not familiar with and I love learning about cultures other than my own.
