Oscar Buzz

     Hollywood is buzzing with Oscar predictions. The Golden Globe nominations are out and the result of those awards are generally seen as a good indicator to how the Academy Awards will play out. There were some surprises in the list of nominees for Golden Globes. I am pleasantly surprised that "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" earned a number of nominations. I thought this movie was delightful, but did not feel it would get much notice from the awards community. There are many movies on the Globes list that did not surprise me. In fact, they have been on the 'movies to watch for' list for some time. They include Argo, Life of Pi, Lincoln, The Master, and Silver Linings Playbook. Still, I now have my own list of movies I must watch. Every year I attempt to see all of the movies nominated for the Best Picture Oscar, and I also attempt to watch all the other movies that are nominated for top awards. So, keep an eye on my other blog, "Cheese Popcorn" for my movie reviews, as there will be many of them in the coming weeks.
