The past two Saturdays I’ve been with a friend at a local AMC theater watching all nine Best Picture nominees. Yes, we’re a little tried of sitting! I love that the AMC theaters host this Best Picture Showcase every year! It’s already on my calendar to attend the Best Picture Showcase again next year.
Tonight I’m getting ready to watch at least part of the Oscars. My daughter is currently ooh-ing and ah-ing over the beautiful gowns and jewelry. She says (most of) the ladies look like princesses.
Below are my votes for the awards this evening. I enjoyed The Artist but am not as crazy about that as the Academy seems to be. I tried to pick a favorite for each category but for some it’s hard to choose!
Are you watching tonight? If so, what are your favorites? Would love to know your favorite movie from last year and what made it special to you. Let me know what you think! And, good luck to your favorite folks.
