Just give me good movies at my movie theater wether it's like Mission Impossible 4 in action or like The Proposal in comedy and I will be really happy. The Oscars... just a buch of booooooooring movies for old intelectuals who have nothing better to do with their lives. I couldn’t care less about the Oscars.

After doing better at being in touch with the public the past two years, these stiff nominees just fall flat. I usually have something in common with the choice but not this year- if the contenders seem stuffy to you, check out my own Top 10 Movie Picks of 2011 at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2012/01/top-10-movie-picks-of-2011.html where you won’t see a single of the Academy’s nominees for Best Picture but you will get some movie artwork I drew up as well as the reviews!
