I'm getting really excited for the Night Owl Oscar Club this year!
not only because it's fun (it is!)
or so great to have watched all of the best picture nominations (it so is!)
or really neat to watch movies with other people who love them (super neat!)
but because this year we're going to watch our movies a little
earlier in the evening.
originally NOOC was named because we went to the
latest showing of the movie we were watching.
last year i had so many people ask if
we ever go to earlier showings or say
'i can't stay awake that late but i want to go!'.
so, since my my best NOOC partner,
joanna (aka the ultimate night owl), moved to texas
(hi, joanna! miss you!)
i decided that we're going to do 7pm showings this year!
hooray!
hopefully that will mean that i am not watching alone
(not that i mind but it's more fun with friends, right?)
usually i start NOOC in january & we watch a movie every week.
but since the movies are all from the previous year,
sometimes we miss them because they came out in october or earlier.
so
this year i want to do a couple of showings in november & december,
just so we don't end up missing some.
(though, if we do i have a contingency for that, too: dvd party!)
my most favorite magazine, entertainment weekly,
has a list of predictions for what will be nominated for best picture
& since i trust them implicitly (with my movie going life)
i thought we could go with their list until the nominations come out (january 10)
(also, mark your calendar for oscar night: february 24)
so here's the list:
Best Picture
The Predicted 5:
1. Argo
2. Lincoln
3. Silver Linings Playbook
4. Life of Pi
5. Les Miserables
if there's 6-10:
6. The Master
7. Beasts of the Southern Wild
8. Amour
9. Zero Dark Thirty
10. Django Unchained
i'll be back soon to tell what movie we will see in novemeber (this month!)
& when...
i'm hoping for a fun group this year,
earlier show times means more movie friends, right?
yes!
love view!
:)
ps. let me know in the comments which movie you think we should see first...
