Oscar Nominations

Hold on to your hats folks (Hehe, see what I did there? With the picture? No.. just me?.. okay..), because the Oscar nominations are out! The Oscars are always fun to watch, and this year shouldn't be anything less than awesome (hello, James Franco hosting? Yes please).

The nominations can be found here.

I'd just like to point out that The King's Speech swept. Twelve nominations? That's impressive, no matter how trivial you think the Oscar's are. 127 Hours, probably my favorite movie that I've seen in a while, also did pretty well, with six nominations. Other then that, I'm excited to see which movie wins Best Picture, because I've seen 6 of the 10 nominees, and was nothing less than impressed with each and every one of them. (I kinda hope that, while it probably won't win Best Picture, The Social Network wins something. It really good.)

Anyways, I'm not claiming to be an expert or anything on these kinds of award shows. I watch them for the entertainment value, and not much more. So on February 27th, I intend to be watching Anne Hathaway and James Franco host the 83rd Academy Awards, in the most superficial way I can manage. I'll probably be kept company by a few friends and a big ol' bowl of popcorn as well. It's going to be awesome.

My friend showed me this girl on YouTube, and I absolutely love her cover of Skinny Love by Bon Iver. Check it out:
