oscars

so, when the oscar nominations came out on january 25th, i made a plan to watch all the movies i hadn't seen yet. i'm a planner. i'm good at it. i love to plan! the problem is, i don't like executing plans. so, i didn't watch very many of the movies i planned to see before today. mainly, the ones that are still in the theaters. but, i was also thinking it wouldn't be a huge deal because i don't have a tv. so, i wasn't going to get to experience the oscars this year. i wasn't going to get to see the dresses and suits or see, immediately, who won what. so how bad would it be that i not have predictions? but, i have just learned that the oscars, in addition to the red carpet, can be streamed online. but, i've heard that story before. "you can watch this game online here...you can watch this award show there..." and it never works out. so, i'm not getting my hopes up. but I would love to see what anne hathaway and james franco have in store because i have huge crushes on both of them :)

movies i wanted to see, but have not gotten a chance to yet:

127 hours
true grit
the king's speech
rabbit hole
blue valentine
biutiful (but this one isn't playing in denver...perhaps in atx?)

that's not too many. at least, not like previous years. i'll probably knock them out when i'm in austin on break (yay!) and not worried about school so much. i just wish i could execute a damn plan efficiently.


*update* YAY! i got to watch it all (well, most of it thanks to the coffee shop i was at needing to reset their router like 5 times) at watch-oscar-online.com. one of the things i was saddest about (but it will probably be on youtube soon enough) was the internet losing connection right at the beginning of anne hathaway's duet with whoever it ended up being with. and i'm sure james franco did something weird and funny...but i didn't see any hint of it. the autotuned song was incomprehensible. also, a lot of the speeches and introductions were in fast forward mode thanks to shoddy internet connection. but, i'm so glad i got to see most of the awards. even if it meant me skipping out on a lot of the studying i had planned for tonight. it's ok. james franco is worth it.
