Time for the OSCARS!

Saturday, March 1, 2014

The 2014 Oscar nominations are live, and we are so excited!  There has seriously been an obscene number of fantastic film this year - not that we're complaining!  I'm going to try to watch the Oscars from Sweden, which is going to be a pretty ridiculous process as the time difference means they begin at 1am and end at 4:30am on a Monday.  HA!  Challenge accepted!  Here's our shortlist of the awards to pay attention to!  I didn't see enough of this year's films to take a swing at guessing the winners.  All I can say is this: if "Let It Go" wins the Oscar for Original Song, I will consider the night a success.  It would be great as well if the new Hobbit film took the Oscar for visual effects, because I absolutely loved how they created Smaug.  Also so so incredibly stoked to see Ellen D. host again!
