It's That Time of Year Again
It’s official. Awards season is underway. I can feel the excitement in the air. As you know, awards season is my play-offs leading to my Super Bowl. There are a number of amazing films coming out that I want to see. My husband will once again become a movie widow. Poor J. Maybe I’ll have an Academy Awards party complete with red carpet. I’ll make everyone dress in formal attire and we’ll sip champagne. I’m seriously considering it.
The National Board of Review announced its winners in several categories. Top movie honors went to Clint Eastwood’s Letters from Iwo Jima. I had no idea he had directed the Japanese counterpart to Flags of Our Fathers. I think I just crushed a little harder on this talented silver fox. I was also pleased to see Rinko Kikuchi recognized for her role in Babel. If you’ll remember, I called her out weeks ago as the awards season darling. I’m like Nostradamus – only black and a woman. Here is a list of the other winners.
The Board also released its picks for top ten movies of the year. I’ve only seen three of the movies so I have to get my butt in gear.
Letters from Iwo Jima
Babel
Blood Diamond
The Departed
The Devil Wears Prada
Flags of Our Fathers
The History Boys
Little Miss Sunshine
Notes On A Scandal
The Painted Veil
If you’ve seen any of these movies, tell me what you think. Are they worthy of top ten status?

I've only seen DWP and Little Miss Sunshine(so wanted to check The Departed but then again,that's what DVDs are for)but they're in my personal Top Ten best flicks of the year.
I just hope that when Oscar nom time hits,we get some decent Best Song contenders-Snakes on a Plane,oh I'm ready for it,come on,bring it:)
Of the ones I've seen, I'd say The Departed, Little Miss Sunshine and most of all Babel are worthy ... The History Boys, however, was simply atrocious
