‘Tis the season (little gold statue season, actually)
We’ve trudged our way through the bitter cold winds of January and dealt with the sappy lovestruck couples and self-induced chocolate comas of that much loved or much dreaded holiday known as Valentine’s Day, and now the season ’tis upon us. The votes are in and this Sunday many a film-lover will hunker down with their popcorn, pizza, friends, and loved ones (in that order, we say, you know the popcorn always takes precedence) and tune in to the one and only Academy Awards show. This year’s Oscar night extrazaganza features first-time host Ellen DeGeneres, live from the Kodak Theater at 5pm Pacific/8pm Eastern. Get your printable ballots here from the Oscars website and settle the debate once and for all on who is the biggest film nerd in your circle. I’m going to go ahead and call out a challenge to my associate Chris Dortch right now…film geek vs. film geek…what shall the stakes be, hmmm? I’ll let you determine that one Chris. Leave us a comment and let us know your picks, viewers!
