Oscar Nominations - Instant Reactions

I'm about to read the full list of Oscar Nominations!  This is exciting for me.  Probably not as exciting for you, but that's your loss.  ;)

Best Picture:
Wow, of the 9 movies nominated, I've seen 2.  Lincoln and Les Miserables.  But I do want to see The Life of Pi.  I don't care about the others.  Most are Rated R.

Best Supporting Actor:
I was correct in my prediction of Tommy Lee Jones.  He is SO GREAT in Lincoln!

Best Supporting Actress:
I correctly predicted Sally Field and Anne Hathaway...and Anne is going to win.

Best Actor:
Daniel Day-Lewis vs. Hugh Jackman...and some other great actors who won't win.

Best Actress:
Ha!  I correctly predicted Jennifer Lawrence, just not for the right movie.

Best Animated Feature:
Have there been 5 nominees before?  That's cool!  I correctly guessed 3 of them!

Best Music (Original Song):
I'm glad they nominated "Suddenly" from Les Miserables.  It's a great song!  I hope they have Hugh sing it at the ceremony!

I did notice that there is a movie nominated for both Best Picture and Best Foreign Feature.  I don't think that happens very often.  Interesting.

It's going to be a good year at the Oscars!

I'm not sure this is the right place to post this, but for anyone who reads Angela's blog: Angela passed away in her sleep, on Sunday, February 3, 2013. All indications are that she died peacefully and painlessly.

You can read more about Angela's life and career at http://www.culturewest.org/2013/02/04/sudden-death-of-singer-angela-johnson-has-northern-colorado-reeling/ .

It would be appropriate for you to leave a memorial message on her Facebook page, if you wish.
