Okay, okay...I know the purists among you don't care about the Oscars. Just move along then. There will be other posts coming soon.

I personally love the Oscars. My family has a big Oscar party every year, lots of munchies, lots of wine and even better, lots of snarky remarks on dresses, dates and lame acceptance speeches. We're movie crazy. Before I had kids, I prided myself on seeing all of the nominated movies, even the foreign films and shorts. I think my brother still does. But now, it's a little more complicated to see films. I do see them still, but more often than not on DVD, long after the ceremony (hooray for Netflix).

If you want to play along with the prediction game, a list of nominees is available here and use this thread to let us know what movies knocked you out this year, what you like and didn't like tonight and what you laughed out loud at.
