The Academy Award nominations were announced this morning. I have heard of every movie except for Amour. Just the other day I saw clips from "Beasts of the Southern Wild" and I became interested in seeing it soon. Interesting that "The Master" is nominated for several awards, I thought it was panned. I have NO interest in seeing "Zero Dark Thirty" and it drives me crazy how the Academy voters love war movies so much. I suppose they ARE dramatic. I just hate them.
"Platoon" is the worst movie I ever watched. Hated it.
I also will not go see "Life of Pi", unless Stephie goes to it and writes a glowing review about it.
I will see "Silver Linings Playbook" and "Beasts" before the Awards on Feb. 24th.

The Golden Globes are this weekend. There will be a fashion show here on the blog on Monday. For sure. I am looking forward to this award show more than any other this year as Tina Fey and Amy Pohler are the hostesses!! They will be fantastic, I am sure. High hopes for a fun night with the Golden Globes.
Very excited to see the fashions.
Let me know if you have seen Life of Pi or Amour or Beasts of the Southern Wild. I am mostly curious about those movies. Amour looks sad and dreadfully slow to me AND one must read subtitles.
Anybody.
Bueller.
Bueller.
I really do love the movies.
Really. Have you seen Now, Voyager?
Dr. Jasquith: I thought you said you came here to have a nervous breakdown.
Charlotte: About that, I've decided not to have one.
Charlotte Vale: Oh Jerry, don't let's ask for the moon. We have the stars.
Find it. It's a good one.
(Bette Davis stars)
Okay. That's enough.
Ta Ta for now,
Donna
p.s. I was not impressed with Sally Field's Mary Todd Lincoln.
But I like her, I really like her.
