Coming Down the Home Stretch

Good Morning!



I have referenced a couple of fun articles this morning for your perusal as we count down the last ten days to the Oscar ceremony.

The first is a piece from Variety that was posted earlier this morning that gives a very concise view of how each of the Best Picture nominees managed to find themselves on the surprisingly long list of nine films.  You'll access that here:

Also, here's another interesting Variety post that suggests that the campaigning continues, even in categories thought to be all but locked up.

The other is actually from last week from Movie City News' David Poland.  It's a longer piece on the rules of winning  (and their exceptions) come Oscar time.  It's illuminating and kind of funny.
