Oh, the Oscars.
Here is the menu for the Oscar party that Amilynne and I are not throwing, as we live on opposite sides of the country:
Appetizer: 7-layer Tex Mex dip (No Country for Old Men)
Drinks: Sunny Delight and Blue Slurpees (Juno)
Main dish: Beef Wellington (Atonement)
Side: Baguettes. Or anti-depressants. (Michael Clayton)
......You come up with something for Michael Clayton. Yeah. Nothing? Right.
Dessert: Blood Orange Sorbet (There Will Be Blood)
And maybe some homemade sausage for Sweeny Todd, just because that's fun.
Amilynne has seen all of the nominees for best picture. I have only seen Michael Clayton. Amilynne predicts that No Country for Old Men will win. I predict that Michael Clayton won't.
So far they have only performed one musical number, from Enchanted. It hurt. Bad. Amilynne predicts that if we really fall into a severe recession, we will see more musical numbers as integral parts of movies. It has something to do with the 1930's and Little Orphan Annie and well-fed people not putting up with such a lapse from reality. If that isn't a good enough reason to strengthen the economy, I don't know what is.
And yes, I continue to be happy that John Stewart is hosting. Enjoy the show.
p.s.-- Oscar's Tribute to Binoculars and Periscopes. 'Nuff said.
Update: Go Ami! She definitely won the Oscars pool this year. I think the only one she guessed wrong was supporting actress, because all Oscars should go to Cate Blanchett. Or Helen Miren. There should really just be a big show where they give each other Oscars. That would be nice.

I only saw Juno and Atonement. I haven't been so much with the movies lately.
