Tonight is Hollywood’s night to announce winners of the 2015 Academy Awards. If you’re like me, you probably don’t know what movies or actors are nominated.

Here’s the video of nominee announcement in all categories. Get the popcorn ready.

You’re right! I didn’t know most of the movies. I was hoping to hear 3 1/2 minutes in there though.

Good Morning!!

  Hey Mindyme! 3 1/2 minutes was presented at Sundance in hope of picking up a distributor. HBO did pick it up. Many movies end up in those type of festivals because they were not financed and backed by major studios who also promote and distribute them for theaters. After HBO runs it on their premium channel, I hope they release it on DVD.

  Hey Horty! Thanks for the reblog. I don’t keep up with new releases and Academy Award nominations like I did in the past. A good thing about this year is that it seems that some actors who have worked for a long time are finally being recognized by their peers. I like Laura Dern — haven’t seen the movie that she worked in, but I’ve like her since seeing Jurassic Park.

      Horty, I’ve seen lots of tweets about Sniper w/bad opinions. Also read some tweets about Selma being snubbed. I’ve not seen either movie and Sniper is not a theme that I would want to watch. I say, bring on the next installment of Twilight and Avatar! LOL!

        I won’t pay money to watch Sniper. Seems that it’s glorifying what’s happening in our wars. I saw Selma … and think it is a great movie, production and acting. I learned a lot from Selma …. good one!

        Now that I think about it, I think I’ve actually gone out to see a movie twice since my husband’s death. I remember one, don’t remember the other but it must have been twice. 🙂 We would talk about the symbolism, script, bloopers, and often incorporate lines in our playful communications. I miss that.

  wow I love that song!! and I don’t like religious stuff, but this isn’t really religious at all. it’s good to hear Ferguson referenced too. ppl have done so much. they deserve so much more support than they’ve been given.
  
  a couple of twatter idiots want to mock& discredit the Ferguson protesters but they don’t stop &they keep on doing what they’re trying to do for everyone & they’re doing it the way they know how. and their way is the rightest way for them. they should all be getting an award!

If it’s not on VHS, I probably haven’t seen it……………..(hehehehehe !!!!)
I don’t know any of them to be honest. Since they opened that MovieStop we buy movies we do know and love………..well, not on VHS, (anymore) but DVD.

Our Fav……..Remember the Titans.

  Racer, I’m like you. Now that On Demand is available and the price is reasonable, I prefer to wait until movies are available through that source where I can watch in the comfort of my own home. I can pause, rewind, turn up the volume, etc.,
  
  I love Remember the Titans. Have you seen Ladyhawke? A sleeper that I really like is Galaxy Quest.

  Yes! I loved it. Lady Gaga just did a combo from the Sound of Music. It reminded me of my high school days in the orchestra.

I haven’t seen any of these movies yet. I normally wait until they are released on DVD or come on cable to view them. If my friends like them, then I will want to view them.
