I loved the Oscars last night. First off, Hugh Jackman did an amazing musical number that was hilarious because it poked fun at Hollywood while revealing, to those of us who know Jackman as Wolverine, that he is a musical kind of guy.
I also loved the set up. Having past winners gush about how awesome and amazing and talented and everything else the nominees were, made it more entertaining and insightful instead of lame musical performances by people I would rather not listen to (*cough* The Grammys *cough*).
I regret to say that the only movies I have seen that were nominated were Wall-E and Kung Fu Panda (both were awesome) but when you're a starving college student spending every moment working, eating or sleeping, movies are not high on the list of priorities. So, I signed up for NetFlix. Now I can catch up at my own leisure while spending much less than I would renting them from a store or, shocker, seeing them in the theater. So far I've received, watched and sent back Nights in Rodanthe. The book it's based on by Nicholas Sparks is amazing and what started me on Sparks. The movie...maybe three stars. It was extremely predictable and did not follow the book at all. It was good in a Lifetime, make you cry, girl movie kind of way. Sorry Josh...
And I've been doing a whole lot of reading/listening that I will inform you about later. But don't hold your breath...
