Today Is The Big Day! Oscar Night 2010!

You should all know by now how excited I get on Oscar night. The dresses, the hairstyles, the schmoozing and of course…the awards! Oscar night has been a big deal to me my entire life. When I was a little girl my mom would make my favorite appetizers for dinner and we would sit around the coffee table enjoying our snacks while we watched the red carpet and then the awards. As I grew older this tradition lived on, however I was always allowed to invite my friends. One year I even attended an Oscar party with my sister where I had to dress up as a character from an Oscar nominated movie. I chose Wednesday Adams. It was a blast. The host handed out awards to all her friends that mirrored the categories of the Oscars themselves. I think I won Most Dramatic but I could be wrong.

I have plenty of Academy Award memories. I plan to make this year no different. I no longer live with my mom, since I had no choice but to grow up one day, but I’ll be having dinner at her house during red carpet. After that I will come home and watch the show with my husband who probably won’t enjoy it much. I’ll probably jump into the chat room on The Stage Right show to see what they are talking about so I have some form of communication during the show and I will probably be found tweeting quite a bit.

Here is the link to see all the nominations. I have my favorites but I also have my opinions on who I think will win. I really like Jeremy Renner from Hurt Locker but I think he is a long shot. I would love Matt Damon to win for Supporting Actor but that is because he is one of my favorite actors, he however is also a long shot. Gabourey Sidibe should win for Precious, fingers crossed. If Meryl Streep wins I will do something awful, I’m just not sure what yet. And by the way, wasn’t Coraline the previous year? Sometimes it is very confusing.

So who are your picks for this year?
