Race to the Oscars Preshow!

Its Oscar time, folks, and I’m going to try to repeat my Race to the Oscar blogs as I did last year. A whopping 45 different films received nominations this year, of which I’ve seen 7. Only 7 others are currently available on DVD with 7 more to be release between now and Oscar Night (Feb 24, I think) SO…I’ll knock out 21 films and try to at least see the Best Pic noms in theaters. Just goes to show you how weighted the nominations are with current films and a lot of earlier releases get screwed. I think the best film to be screwed this year was Zodiac, a film I absolutely loved but received no love from the Academy, and how can 300 not get a visual effects nomination? That’s lunacy. A writing nomination for Judd Apatow was deserved for either Knocked Up or Superbad, take your pick (THE great debate of 07: Knocked Up or Superbad?) Anyway, reviews and analysis will follow soon, all of which you may shamelessly plagiarize and use to impress your friends around the water cooler. Stay Tuned!
