OSCARS 2008!!!
OK! So they announced the Oscars on Tuesday morning and I got all excited and then madness ensued and now I am blogging everything from this week today. (by madness, I mean laziness. And rain-induced sluggishness, to be explained in another post.)
Anyway, nothing TOO surprising in here...wait, excuse me? Is that a typo? Surely they...no. You did NOT. NOT!!! @&%#$@
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you: ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEE NORBIT.
You @&%#$@ read that right. NORBIT.
Then again, (and I won't post the photo in here) the fat suit was disgustingly realistic. (shudder)
Anyway! WGA went back into informal negotiations this week, so hopefully part of the negotiations will include letting the Academy Awards actually take place.
It would suck if we couldn't have our 5-TV indoor/outdoor, Funch-fueled, theme fooded, cash-betting, prize-filled Oscar party.
