I think so, as well.

I watched the fellowship, and twin towers this weekend..

I am amazed at how much I pick up each time I watch these movies..

(Or maybe I just watch them to see Viggo Mortenson.) drool

The Oscars are a big event my way, too. I'd love to have a full-blown party, but my friends and family don't get into it like I do.

if Ellen Degeneres doesn't get nominated for Finding Nemo there is no justice in this world. great great great movie, and a superb performance from her nod

There are one or two formal Oscar events like that here in Cleveland. Part of me would enjoy all the pomp and circumstance, but I'm sort of assuming the people would be snobs.

it's a sure winner for best animated, would be rocking if it got best pic nomination too, but the odds of them recognizing any of the voice cast is really really low. but i do thinkit was one of the years best performances, suprisingly enough.

So, (for those who don't know) I work for the Minnesota AIDS Project. Every year we do an annual gala fundraiser, "Hollywood" during which the Oscars are broadcast in a big theater, entertainment is provided and food and liqour are plentiful. (I believe this is done in many states). Of course all proceeds of the show go to MAP and a few other area non-profits.

Anyways, I'm part of the planning comittee for this year's event. So, tomorrow morning, I'm gonna be hanging out at a downtown MPLS Starbucks with a coworker, broadcasting the nominations and trying to get the word-out/sell tickets to our event! Whee!

I've always been a huge fan of Oscar nite and this year I have an extra reason to be excited!
