The Ten Reasons You Should Watch the Oscars...

1. Anne Hathaway and James Franco are hosting.
They're actors, it's not like Alec Baldwin or anything.

2. You may see a star on stage accepting an Academy Award before he/she is born.
 Oscar- Possible name for Natalie Portman's child?

3. Facebook may be unblocked at your workplace by Monday morning if The Social Network wins big.
You have been trying to convince your employer for months that Facebook has work related, intellectual value. Here's your chance.

4. Jesse Eisenberg does Mark Zuckerberg better than Zuckerberg can do himself. 
Zuckerberg is worth billions. He'd be worth trillions if he could talk as fast as Eisenberg.

5. If you can say a few words about The King's Speech, your friends might finally believe all that money you spent on college tuition was worth it.
It sounds so intelligent. Start talking about Colin Firth and tell them you're half British.

6. If Inception wins, you'll learn that cinematography is film lingo for the trick that made that movie look "freaking awesome."
Makeup is the reason you still have a crush on Leo.

7. There's a good chance Annette Bening will come dressed as a swan and Natalie Portman will bring Mila Kunis as her "date."
Darren Aronofsky will be directing this edition of "Best Actress Showdown."

8. You're ashamed to admit that you still haven't watched The Hurt Locker, and need to redeem yourself. 
You and the rest of the general populace had never heard of Kathryn Bigelow's prize winning picture. Just remember, no matter how much you cried during Toy Story 3, it won't win best picture.


9. Girl on girl action rules the nods.

This year's nominees have lots of girls kissing girls. Awkward to watch with your parents.


10. Oprah is presenting.
"Annnd the Oooooscar goooess tooooo..."

SAG Awards 2011... Oscars or Bust!

The Screen Actor's Guild gathered to honor their own and oh what a talent filled night it was! Big winners included Betty White, Colin Firth and the cast of The King's Speech, Natalie Portman, and Melissa Leo. This is the last hurrah of awards season before the biggest night of all- The Oscars!
The King's Speech won big at the DGA's last night, and proved successful again this evening, which is making 12 Oscars look easy.
SAG may just be the best predictor of Academy Award wins, since actors make up a good chunk of the Academy. Many awards season analysts were wrong about major categories tonight, including Natalie Portman over Annette Bening for "Outstanding Actress" and the cast of The King's Speech over The Social Network. February 27th is just around the corner, but until then, stay well informed before you call your bookie in Vegas.
