98% of those who are actually reading this list share two things in common - they know me and they enjoy my commentary on the Academy Awards. Hence, the point of my site. So while I'm under no delusion that my musings are so damn zany and hilarious that they must be read by the whole world, I have enjoyed sharing my opinions to those who have previously asked me for them. I guess you can say that I do it for the fans, not the glory (I really wanted to write, "I did it....for Johnny" but figured that only Albert Newton Claxton II would get my Non-Downtown Julie Brown reference).
The 2% of you who don't know me should be hereby advised that 98% of what I write is bullshit.
Enough about me....let me set your expectations. My plan is to start with the recent films I've seen, most of which have generated some Oscar buzz. When the noms are finally announced, I'll pick them apart and then probably whine about how Toni Collette, Julianne Moore, and/or Laura Linney wasn't nominated despite my undying devotion to the sheer brilliance of each in her latest tour de force performance.
From there, I may share some more opinions or reviews between the noms and the big night, but only when I wrestle the laptop away from my partner who will either be playing Snood or searching for a house here in the 'burbs of Connecticut. Unless the site is some sort of runaway success a la "Little Miss Sunshine," I'd expect my last post for quite some time to be the day after the 2007 awards are presented. We'll just have to see what happens from there - word?
Bon appetit! (I believe that's French for "Lick it up, Heather, lick it up" but I digress). Feel free to share your opinions with me and the other person who may actually click on this site.
I am Suzanne Marcus's mother in Burke, Va. I look forward every year to your evaluations and ocmments. i find them amusing and insightful. Most of the time, I happen to agree. I look forward to seeing if your predictions match the Oscar Night outcomes. Thanks very much. Muriel Marcus
