and the award goes to...

someone who i probably wasn't aware was nominated - for some reason, i haven't been following oscar buzz at all this year.

of the films nominated for best screenplay (both original and adapted), i've only seen 'district 9,' 'an education,' 'precious,' 'and up in the air.' and they're all really amazing and admirable and fascinating. and different (the protagonists in these four films would probably never be in a situation where they would meet each other).

i'm excited for whoever takes home the statue and all that, but right now i don't know if i should go to a big glitzy party or stay home and drink a glass of wine with a friend as we watch the awards and catch up on gossip.

hmmm...

tough decision.
