Oscars tonight. I’ll be watching, as I’ve done every year since I was a kid. I won’t lie – going into this year’s Oscars has felt like a bit of a let-down. I’ve seen all 8 of…
Playing Catch-Up
Mister and I are movie lovers. We do our best to keep up with new releases, as well as older movies we’ve missed. Ordinarily, it isn’t a chore but a pleasure. Come awards season, however, it’s a different…
There Has To Be A Morning After…
Today is back-to-reality day. The Oscars have ended and Hollywood can get back to being Holly-weird. As it should be. Though I am merely a schmo-ette and haven’t been to the big dance myself, it’s always fun…

Oscar! Oscar!
Aw, yeah! It’s that time again – the Oscars! Tonight! My favorite awards show – period! If you’re not into the Oscars, I’m sorry. I just can’t help it, and don’t have to! I’m super excited to…
That Time of Year
