Being a big movie goer I just wanted to whet your appetite for the Oscars this Sunday.
First, if you’ve got no plans tomorrow, AMC (the movie theater chain, not the channel) will have its annual Best Picture Showcase. My wife and I went last year and it’s a very fun event and quite reasonably priced. We’ll be there again tomorrow so if you see me at the AMC 30 on 2949 Dunvale, be sure to say hi!
Also, I’ve put my predictions below. We’ll see how badly I did on Monday. Enjoy your weekend!
