It’s that time of year again, and for movie fans there is nothing more exciting than arguing over the best films of the year. The award ceremony will be on February 24th, but until then I will spend as much time as I can find talking about
anything award related. I am going to make my best effort to see as many of the nominees as possible before the award show, as well as post a profile of each actor, actress and director that was nominated. There is also a blogathon taking place with our friends from Paula’s Cinema Club, that will include everything related to the Academy Awards, past and present. Be sure to continue checking out all the posts on their site. It should be fun to see how this extremely competitive year will turn out, but now it’s time to get to the theater!
