Hey…I picked Descendants for writing…I know that 😉
I guess I must have missed that. I’ll fix the original post.
You guys DO watch movies right? Shocking…
With three kids I watch some movies. None of this years contenders were on my list and are today. Not my type of films haha.
I suppose the three kids explains why you got the Muppets song and Animated Short at least 😉
I picked the movies that I felt should win. I’m not going into a movie for the artsy-ness of it. I want to be entertained first and foremost. It’s all about personal taste.
Eh. I’m so-so; the worst I’ve done in years. But then I tend to go with who I think should win, not who I think will win. To next year! ;D
I was bumming Clooney did not get the win, but I was very happy that Moneyball got nothing. I still stand by the sheer boredom and lack of appeal that film had (ok, except for Hoffman who was great as always). Why would Jonah Hill get a nomination for that?, it had to be tougher to pretend to be a fat loser in his previous films that the character he tried here. I have to see The Artist now though – I already wanted to see it, but now I REALLY want to see it.
