Fun Fact Friday #8

This weekend marks my SuperBowl...yep, the Oscars. In honor of this most special of events, I give you an Oscar inspired Fun Fact...

Four best-picture winners won an Oscar in every category for which they were nominated: 2003’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,” 1987’s “The Last Emperor,” 1958’s “Gigi” and 1934’s “It Happened One Night.”


This year's telecast is being hosted my one of my major TV crushes Jon Stewart - yay! And if you are in need of more Oscar Trivia, you can find it here.

I'm still REALLY behind on catching with you all...things are still really crazy with work (and if you can believe it got even crazier this week). I know...deep breath!

I like watching the Oscars too. I bed Jon Stewart will be great at it. I can't remember how it went last time he hosted. David and I were going to go to this Best Picture showcase thing tomorrow where you buy a $30 ticket and see all five best picture nominees in a now. There was only one theater in Seattle doing it and I goofed around and didn't order the tickets and when I went to do it yesterday, they were sold out. So now we are just going to go see Juno tomorrow.

Sadly I have to admit that I didn't even watch the Oscars last night and I still don't even know who the winners are yet. Maybe I need to watch the news tonight and catch up.

No worries Michele about catching up, blogging should be enjoyable, not stressful, so relax.

IMHO the Oscars were a bit kinda disappointing this time, and I hated all the darn speeches, especially Daniel Day Lewis, two earrings and curly hair, is a no no in my opinion.

The Oscars have been my superbowl in the past as well...I just love movies! This year, I was a little behind and only actually saw one of the nominated movies - Juno. I thought it was overrated.

I've moved my love onto Project Runway. I predicted the top 3 about a month ago - and was right! I'm going on the record saying that Christian will win it all.
