So most movies are out for me unless they're not-too-inappropriate romantic comedies, Harry Potter, or Pixar movies. :) But I did see a number of the nominated movies, which made the Oscars more exciting to watch. The Artist was definitely more than earned its best picture award. Also, I highly recommend The Help. It's wonderful!Erachethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17564623864935448290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219039592451741506.post-26242056450020744212012-02-28T09:47:43.011-08:002012-02-28T09:47:43.011-08:00Unfortunately, when I realized the oscars were on,...Unfortunately, when I realized the oscars were on, I watched just enough to be uncomfortable. I saw Robert Downey Jr's skit with Gwyneth, the "size does matter but length doesn't" comment with Melissa McCarthy and pal, so I was put off. I did think Will Farrell and Zach G. were funny. I have no complaint with Billy Crystal or the winners - "The Artist" was charming, but I did think other storylines were more compelling. The character in the "The Artist" was typically self-absorbed, not really heroic as in "The Help." But I suppose that is personal taste. I did love the dog, though.Organizemylifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11758595868600965094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219039592451741506.post-61246006207944512392012-02-27T05:08:52.178-08:002012-02-27T05:08:52.178-08:00So true.
