Oscars

Well the oscars are about to start and I'm looking forward to them.  My pool has 15 entrants so we'll see how things turn out.

I managed to see almost all the movies nominated this year, including many of the shorts.  I saw everything but the foreign films, the animated shorts and 3 of the documentaries.  Crash was still my favorite for best film of the year, though I don't think it's going to win.
