Oscars: Mary Hart Says Hello to Me
Well…kinda.
I’ve been Buzzin’ about my friend, Wayne Sutton, and the incredible opportunity that he had to be sitting in the bleachers as part of the Kodak Red Carpet blogger group. Much of his “assignment” was that he had to Tweet, blog, video, etc. all that was going on. I mean, cuz that’s what he does.

Oscars 2010: And the Winner Is…..Really?
First off, it’s not ABC. Let me start with that.
Between their ridiculous pre-show Red Carpet special and the tiresome length of the broadcast, one word – UGH! Granted, the show is itself produced by an independent entity and ABC only has the rights to broadcast it. BUT…can I just say for the record right now, wouldn’t [...]
It’s Oscars BIG Night!
This is the one time a year where I get all giddy & excited over an awards show that honors those in film. Sure, I watch the Golden Globes and the SAG Awards but the Academy Awards are the creme de la creme of all things REEL. So, I thought it only fitting to pay [...]
Rewind – Philip Seymour Hoffman IS Capote (2005)
Last weekend I had the chance to see Academy Award nominated film, Capote, starring Philip Seymour Hoffman. You remember him from the films Charlie Wilson’s War and Doubt (also Oscar nominated).
I don’t really know how to interpret my thoughts on the movie. It’s disturbing, or rather, the plot is but equally so isn’t Hoffman’s very [...]

I TOLD YOU the little engine that could…could! How fantastic for this little film, huh? If you haven’t seen it, you really need to!
Slumdog Millionaire pulled in 8 out of 10 oscar noms, among them Best Director and Best Picture (see post below). That in itself is pretty impressive!
An emotional Kate Winslet took the top honor [...]

Slumdog Millionaire – The Little Movie That Could
…go all the way at the Oscars, that is. Seriously.
Remember when you were a small child your mom, grandmother, aunt, whomever would read to you the story of The Little Engine That Could? Chuga-chuga-CHOO-CHOO! For most young children, the tale of the courageous little engine that took on the biggest challenge of his life and succeeded at it, [...]
Benjamin Button – A Backwards Story With Heart
Imagine, if you will, it’s the end of World War I. Americans are celebrating all around the country, especially in the southern most region of Louisiana where the sounds of jazz flow out to the streets in the bustling French Quarter of New Orleans. It’s a happy time.
In all the celebration and chaos, a wife of [...]
Hollywood and Social Media
The other day I was drawn to a particular blog post by a former colleague of mine, Wayne Sutton. He is a social media guru (Wayne, I’m not worthy. I’m not worthy!). He gets the system and uses it to further his interests. Whether it be to gain clients, provide a service, network with others, [...]
Woof Woof to the Oscars We Go!
Local gourmet doggie treat company, Bone Appetit Bakery, left bright and early this morning for their trek across country to pamper celebrity pooches during a three-day showcase for all things Oscar.
I had a chance to sit down and talk with owner, Justin Frechette, about his chance to hob-knob with the stars and how his company [...]
