Oscars 2007
Well, the Academy Award nominations were announced yesterday, and I just have one thing to say: that Little Miss Sunshine got a Best Picture nod, but Children of Men didn't, is a travesty. The former was good and all, but nowhere near as beautifully filmed, emotionally arresting, or politically relevant as the latter. Just goes to show how safe the Awards have become over the years: another splendid movie painting a pessimistic portrait, this time of middle-class, suburban America (tiny film called Little Children...maybe you've heard of it?), was inched out of the category, as well. But hey, if it's historical (Helen Mirren's portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II, Forest Whitaker's take on Idi Amin, and Paul Greengrass's helming of United 93 were all recognized), then bring on the naked little men!
And with that, I say hello and promise to pop in more-than-occasionally from now on.

Well... Should I invite everyone over for an oscar night party complete with wagering and good-natured fun? Normally when I do that kind of thing I get snubbed. My party invitations are ignored, devalued, shrugged off, or otherwise mistreated. So, should I try again?
Oscars schmoscars. I know what I like and they can suck it.
Generally, i could care less about the oscars. But I need to get out of the house more often, so feel free to give me an ivite. When are the Oscars?
