Pushing the Envelope

I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen. (E.H.)

I don’t really want to talk about it at length so I’ll summarize here:

(big breath)

I’m putting all my weight (ha!) behind Gary Oldman for Tinker, Tailor (he was AMAZING in that), Glenn Close because goddamn she’s good, Melissa McCarthy because I love her even though I hated Bridesmaids and now I’m waffling because I don’t really want the movie to have an award attached to it so maybe Jessica Chastin because she is delightful even though The Help was missing a major part of the story which seems silly as it was integral to the story and made it a bit confusing for me a non-reader of the book, Christopher Plummer because he’s Christopher fuckin’ Plummer (but the rest of the noms are also good), and Midnight in Paris just because I can and will.

Now to start my Oscar night preparations on what might be the most “meh” one in the last 10 years.
