Oscar Night

One of my favorite things to do over the last couple years is "watch" a competitive event with my friend from my home town.  By watch, I mean we each watch at home and have a complete dialogue about it on Facebook.  Last year, we were all over the Olympics.  Honestly, I do not talk to her otherwise.  It's funny that we do it, but it's so much fun for some reason.  It's out 'thing' I guess.

I used to be so into the Oscars.  Would have a party or at least have a get together with a couple people.  Now I am perfectly content sitting at home and chatting with my girlfriend.   Technology keeps us apart it seems - yet really keeps us together.  Like I said, I would not really keep in touch with her otherwise.  Let's face it, Facebook has changed the way we communicate.

When I changed my relationship status, the thing blew up.  Funny, I did not think anyone would really pay attention to it.

Anyway, Oscars.  man I was so into it.  I saw every movie before the event.  I had such an investment for me.  Now, I think I've seen 2 of the films that are being mentioned.

I did love True Grit.  I know it was a remake, but damn was it good.  I also saw it with my sweetheart at this awesome theater.  We had reserved seating in a love seat.  Total comfort and we got to have dinner while we were in there.  It was so delish.  If you are ever in Chicago, I recommend the IKON theater.  There is also one in Minneapolis, I believe.  And I saw Inception, which I thought was awesome.

Next on my list is  The King's Speech , love me some Colin Firth, and Black Swan

It is weird watching the awards without really knowing anything about the movies.  But I can't keep away from the fashions.  Love seeing what people are wearing.

What is up with the fellows in white tuxes though?  Not sure if I am a fan.  I am a fan of Anne Hathaway and James Franco being hosts though.  Love them.

Happy Oscar night.  Hope you are enjoying!

Trent Reznor just won an Oscar!  About time his genius was recognized.

  1. I heart Trent. I am sure he knows this because I always say it whenever his name pops up.

    I am sure he appreciates it, though!
