It's ACADEMY AWARD TIME!!! Online Movie Club Meetup 2012

 The announcement's been made. It's ACADEMY AWARD TIME!!!

 
Hey Movie clubbers,
It's that time again. Let's continue our online movie club with the homage to the 2012 Academy Awards. We will continue in the same format as last year by voting on each movie until all the nominated films have been viewed. 

Last year we waited until many of the films could be rented on/at Netflix, Redbox and Blockbuster. This year we are starting before the award show so feel free to view a few on the big screen. I hope many who participated last year comeback and I hope to welcome some newcomers as well. Together let's watch the films that are deemed worthy of the OSCAR by the academy!

The general format is to watch one film per month and meet at the end of that month to post our comments about each movie. Cast your vote for our first flick and the choice will be posted Wednesday, February 1, 2012.  I personally cannot wait to discuss The Help. Woo hoo! Let's Do it!

Fashion Roundup: Oscars

These are MY favorites in no order! What were yours? It's weird how the colors translate. They looked so much more vibrant on TV.

just stunning

wonderful improvement from last awards

This was so sparkly and pretty on TV



I like the second pose and the dress was pretty. Still on the fence about her in it. It's the neckline Eww!






she looks beautiful

 

making 65 look good!

 

she looked nice

Did anyone else notice all the black on the red carpet? Too many black dresses that were blah! The men stayed very traditional and a bit boring to me as well. I know there's not too much you can do with a tux, but still...

Hello Oscar!

Just Kidding! LOL!

The 83rd annual Academy Awards airs this Sunday and I'm so excited! I've pretty much watched all the award shows this season and they were pretty good.

My tradition was to see ALL of the movies nominated after the award show to see if the academy got it right or were they trippin like they have at times in the past! Jameil says they dress up and party for the show. I think that's a fabulous idea!

Hmmm...What would I wear to the Oscars??? I have to look around for a dress. I'm leaning toward Alexander McQueen(RIP)....
