We looooove the Academy Awards. So much so that when we watch them, we still think about chasing the childhood dream and becoming an actress and moving to LA (after passing the age limit for the Miss America pageant – it’s all we have). This year they’ve switched it up and nominated 10 films for best picture. Just announced this morning, what do you think will win?!
- Avatar
- The Blind Side
- District 9
- An Education
- The Hurt Locker
- Inglorious Bastards
- Precious
- A Serious Man
- Up
- Up in the Air

This weekend we recommend…
Rachel Getting Married. Anne Hathaway stars in this film about the changing family dynamics when a prodigal daughter returns. Multiple Oscar nominee Debra Winger and Tony winner Bill Irwin costar.
Flash of Genius. Greg Kinnear stars as Robert Kearns, a man whose 1960s invention became standard in every car on the road and his quest for recognition for the mass corporation.

Savages, starring Laura Linney and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, is a film about two siblings taking care of their ailing father. Rotten Tomatoes calls this film a “beautifully three-dimensional look at the struggles and comforts of familial bonds,” and it is absolutely that. Both siblings struggle a bit with their relationship with their father, but the relationship between Wendy and John (Linney and Hoffman) is subtely poignant – in the way a brother-sister relationship should be. Great film.
