84th

More and more, I find my love for the Oscars tacky, teenager/nerd-like and just plain weird. It's always the same thing, rarely is it as good as you predict it to be...
But still, I embrace the tackiness, I do.
And, in that same spirit, here are the nominations for the 84th Annual Academy Awards:

PS. For nerds: you may try to read about the nominations while listening to the clip below.

11 nominations, including Picture, Director, Cinematography, Score and Adapted Screenplay.




The Artist

10 nominations, including Supporting Actress, Score and Original Screenplay

Seventeen times and counting...

Tune in on February 26th, 2012 for the whole show, this year hosted by Billy Crystal (thank god...). Or come to my place and tune in. And bring snacks.
