The 81st Annual Oscars will be on February 22nd at 5:00 p.m. - and I am so excited, it is one of the biggest nights of the year for movies, actors, and film lovers! I am a big film critic and I love to challenge family members to watch the show with me and make friendly bets on who is going to win each different category!
If you have seen the movie The Wrestler with Mickey Rourke, then I am sure you must know that is really a deal breaker, at least for me it is. I saw it in Cambridge a few weeks ago, I was a little skeptical because of the title and the only thing I know about wrestling is my nephews figurine collection. However, it was a really amazing and touching story about life, triumphs, and making something of yourself. So, my nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role is going to Mickey Rourke!
There have been so many films coming out that look great! I wish I had the time (and money) to spend a whole day just going to see all of them!
I would really like to see Slumdog Millionaire - because it won so many Golden Globe Awards! I would also like to see Revolutionary Road, The Reader, Benjamin Button and Milk. Has anyone seen these films yet?? I hope to before the night of the Oscars, so I have a good understanding on why different nominations are there and why they're winning!

Slumdog Millionaire is REALLY good. You should DEFINITELY see it.
ReplyDeleteOh, and you actually CAN see them all (well Frost/Nixon in place of Revolutionary Road, but Frost/Nixon was really good as well) in one day! AMC is doing their Best Picture Showcase again this year on Sat. the 21st. It's only $30, which I think is a deal even if you don't see Frost/Nixon (I was considering skipping one of the movies last year, and calculated it to still be cheaper than seeing the others individually), and if you have or get a MovieWatcher card (it's free and gets you points that add up to free popcorn, other food coupons, and even free movie tickets) it's only $25. They're doing it at the AMC Premium Cinema in Framingham. You get a free large popcorn and unlimited refills all day too! Here's the link: http://www.amctheatres.com/promos/showcase/
