The Oscar nominations have been announced. I finished Winter's Bone this morning which means I have now seen all 10 best picture nominees.
When voting, Academy members are asked to list the nominees, 1-10, starting with what they feel is best. So I will also participate.
1. The Social Network
2. The King's Speech
3. Inception
4. Black Swan
5. 127 Hours
6. The Fighter
7. True Grit
8. Winter's Bone
9. Toy Story 3
10. The Kids Are Alright
So that's my opinion...In case you wanted to know

Lyrical
Lately, I'm finding it hard to fully explain how i feel. But some of these lyrics do it splendidly.
"I just can't look. It's killing me and taking control"--The Killers; Mr. Brightside
"I gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash"--Bruno Mars; Grenade
"I got to get my head back on. Gotta get myself together"--Robyn; Get Myself Together
"I would've been your fool"--The Gaslight Anthem; Here's Looking at You, Kid
"I need company, I need human heat"--Frightened Rabbit; The Twist
"You never were and you never will be mine"--Robyn; Be Mine
"Now, I see, I'll never stop this train:--John Mayer; Stop This Train

2010 entertainment
I realized I never did a list of things that made 2010 awesome (mostly it sucked, but we'll pretend it didn't for approximately one blog entry).
1. Movies
Not many movies. Specifically a few. I'm not going to get film snobby, like i usually am. I will instead display the posters of a few movies that brought joy to my solemn face.
2. Books
Yes, I learned to continuously read this year. I mean i didn't get on the ball till around late august but I read around 5 books in three months. I felt smart and well read like Julie or Bry.
3. Music
There have been many artists how have helped me get through this year, but none of them hold a candle to Robyn. Her lyrics have helped me through some of the incredibly tough times this year. It absolutely helped that she released 3 albums this year, so I received a dose of wisdom every few months. And got to see her in concert, but I already discussed that.
4. Television
Television has had a fantastic year. but i have to give a shout out to some shows that have helped me pass those excruciating days at Festival.
These are the non-human things that helped me make it through this year. and for that I will be forever indebted to them.
