The next benchmark on the way to Opening Day
Posted by Jill | 2:09 PM
With the December holidays finally, mercifully over, it's time to look forward to the various benchmarks on the way to Opening Day -- those being the Super Bowl, the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, the World Figure Skating Championships, the Golden Globe Awards, and the Oscars.

Despite the 70-degree temperatures today, it IS still January. Tomorrow is Mandatory Football Day in New York, with BOTH the Jets and Giants playing do-or-die games. But for those of us who aren't enamored of watching a bunch of guys in exaggerated masculine drag run up and down a field, grappling each other and throwing a ball around, it's time to start paying attention to the annual Hollywood Silly Season. You can start with the New York Times special Oscar® section (which we lucky home delivery customers got today), and then if you don't feel like sitting in a tatty theatre to go see The Queen while the film is framed so badly you can see the boom mike, you can kill some time with the most amazing display of Movie Award Mania you will ever see in your life by visiting Nathaniel's Oscar® Predictions. Nathaniel had better go out and buy some chips and salsa, because ModFab is sending people to his house too.
