Ladies and Gentleman...

The countdown is at 7 hours...Red Carpet arrival, here we come! Oh, how I love Oscar Sunday. Last year I was on a family vacation in Maui so we enjoyed the day in the sun and then cranked up the BBQ and had a nice dinner in while watching the show. The broadcast was delayed there so it took all my strength not to cheat and check the winners on the computer. This year, I'm at home. It's 29 degrees outside and the ground is covered with snow. A perfect day to cuddle up with a blanket and enjoy the hype.

We are down to one last movie, "In the Valley of Elah" which we are just about to watch. Then, I need to sit down and finalize my picks. It was a great crop of movies this year and will be interesting to see who takes home the Oscar for Best Picture. I will be even more surprised to see who wins Original/Adapted Screenplay since I am still struggling with my own choice.

For those other movie lovers out there, enjoy this "Super Bowl of the movie world" and I'm sure I'll have something to say later this week regarding the winners and fashion choices. Ah, if only I could figure out a way to be a seat filler, I would die happy...
