It seems all I do these days is watch films and post an occasional review. This Oscar Race thing turned out to be more work than I expected. I’ve been able to see a fair number of nominated films this past month though. Some very good, some pretty damn crappy. I’ll probably just write a few short comments on the remaining films towards the end of the week. The Oscars are getting close now.
Apart from a few films I haven’t been able to see, I’ve also skipped a few on purpose. There’s no way in hell I’m going to sit through Dreamgirls, for example. Same goes for Flags of Our Fathers and United 93, but for entirely different reasons.
Anyway, I’ll try to make this less of a film blog as soon as this whole Academy Awards thing is over. When I come to think of it, I’m not even sure I’ll be able to watch the actual ceremony this year! It’ll air on a brand new channel which launches on Sunday and tops off its first day with the Oscars. It’s unclear whether I’ll be able to get it or not, since I don’t have digital TV and my cable provider is useless at providing proper information. I’ll try to tune it in, but it sure would be an anticlimax to all this moviegoing if I’d end up having to read about it all afterwards.
UPDATE: Turns out my fear was unfounded. All is well.
