It's here already? The Oscars?
But...but how? Just last week I was reading about this new film called The Artist that would be lucky enough to find an audience....Billy Crystal's hosting stint was just a rumor after the debacle that was the Franco/Hathaway affair...Is it even Christmas yet?
I still have six nominees to see. This is kind of par for the course, but usually it's in categories like Visual Effects or Costume that I'm missing out on; still is this year, but I've also got gaps in Leading Actor and two in Original Screenplay. Embarrassing (2008 was probably my best year; I only missed Defiance and Australia. To be fair, so did everyone else)!
