That's right, tonight is the night that we gather dutifully around our television sets and pay homage to the best and brightest Hollywood stars.
For those unfamiliar, the yearly ritual goes something like this:
-turn on TV
-watch host's opening speech accompanied by obligatory funny/touching movie montage
-chuckle
- watch presentation for "best music in a documentary short film"
-change channel to watch "Seinfeld"
-spend the next 2 hours flipping between Oscars and just about anything else, usually barely missing the most interesting presentations
-fall asleep just as they say "And, the Oscar for best picture goes to..."
This year, however, things are going to be (somewhat) different. I'm not going to promise that there won't be any channel flipping in the intermediate stages, but I definitely want to be coherent for the best picture announcement. The reason:
Juno.
Aside from being one of the better movies that we have seen in a long time, it's also about being pregnant! When we saw the movie Jen was pretty heavy with child, and I don't know if it made an already funny movie even funnier but it sure didn't hurt.
Seriously, this was a really good movie and we've got our fingers crossed that it will emerge victorious for those pregnant and recently pregnant everywhere.
Enjoy some Juno related clips from You-Tube to get you in the Oscar spirit...
