The contenders

Well it is that time of year again, when the newspapers fill up with full page movie ads and the dress speculation begins. Oscar time! Being a gal who loves to go to the movies and living within spitting distance of a certain big white letter sign, I of course am always anxiously awaiting the big night. Up to that point, I try to get in as many of the nominated performances and films as humanly possible. This year is no different. Saturday night, thanks to our Netflix account, we took in Junebug, starring Amy Adams in a Supporting Actress role. This is a fantastic movie about a couple living in NYC who return to the husbands small town home in North Carolina. Sound Familiar?
