2012 Oscar contest
It's that time of year again, folks. Oscar season is upon. I know, so soon? This is the third year (I think) I'm running the Oscar contest. We always have a lot of fun predicting the winners and seeing who comes out on top. It's just for fun.
I thought this was a great year for film. Unfortunately, some of my favorite and most well reviewed films aren't "Oscar worthy" films so they didn't get nominated. I'm thinking about Rise of Planet of the Apes and Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, to name a few. A few other films that I loved that are "Oscar worthy" didn't get enough attention for whatever the reason. I'm thinking about The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Warrior.
Heather is the reining back-to-back champion. We gotta take her down this year.
