With the last spoonful of stuffing -- the final drop of gravy -- the conclusive (and unnecessary) slice of pie -- it's time:
Oscar season is here. Yay! No more sequels, action flicks, romantic comedy copies, horror porn or movies that have been sitting on the shelf for three years. I ushered in the season with a pre-Thanksgiving viewing of No Country for Old Men (amazing) and immediately felt the urge to dig deep into the upcoming Oscar-bait movies -- which I spent most of Thanksgiving doing (between courses, of course.)
It stands to be an interesting year -- no Best Picture front-runners (yet), no "overdue" candidates on the horizon, no obvious fanboy picks (unless we start to see some heavy 300/Beowulf politicking); 2007 might just be a year where the best nominees win. Hehehehe. OK, that was funny. Sorry -- I'm still working my way through my Thanksgiving hangover. I'll come to my senses eventually.
The first blush of Oscar charts are on their way. Stay tuned...
