in case anyone cares and doesn't know yet, i'll put results discussion behind a cut. :)

question: does anyone know what the connection between charlize theron and precious is? i get all the other people who introduced the best picture nominees, but not that one. and it's really bugging me

Every time the oscars come around I think about getting Netflix, but I never do. This time, I think I might. Mum says she has a long list of films she wants to see. :D

i definitely recommend it! i think most people probably don't get their money's worth out of it because they hold on to the dvds for too long and get maybe 2-4 movies per month, but for me it's all about the convenience of the queue. it's certainly nice to have movies delivered to my house and not have to pick them up, but it's sooo great to be able to add things to my queue and never have to remember what i wanted to watch. :D plus there's 'watch instantly' (streaming) which is always high quality and also transferable to a television if you have the right equipment (i've never tried it cuz i just watch on my computer). good times!

(and now i'll be sending this to netflix with an invoice for my spokesperson fees. :P)

Hahahaha, nice. :P

My ex's always had it (why do we use apostrophes this way?) I dunno if I could muster mum into having a quick enough turn around to make it worth it, but I'm considering it.

I'm wandering the internet at a late hour.
I tried to see all the movies nominated this year, too.

My town offers the shorts, live action and animated.
The winner for short animation was amazing:

hey, thanks for the link! (sorry for the crazy late reply.) i finally watched it & it was amazing indeed. i hadn't seen any of the nominated shorts, but now i'm tempted to check them all out. ;)
