Iron Man 2: New Trailer

So excited for this movie!

Sandra Bullock: The Razzies

Sandra Bullock seems like such a lovely, down to earth actress. She accepted her Razzie in person this week and had a great acceptance speech.

I hope she wins the Oscar tonight. She would be the first to ever win a Razzie and Oscar in the same year.

SNL Highlights: Zach Galifinakis

Zach Galifinakis hosted his first SNL and I really hope he comes back to host again. Comedians usually have great episodes, since they are comfortable making fools of themselves, are used to the pressure of live shows, and have the timing down.  Below are the best skits of the night:

Opening Monologue:


This was the best opening monologue all season, and then some. A couple of my favorite lines:

"I like dark comedies, that's why I like the Wayans Bros."
"If you read my blog, you know I'm really into pilates. And by pilates, I mean waffles."

Great Grandpa's Funeral:

They did this skit before. I think with Ryan Reynolds and Abby Elliot? Although, this took it to a whole new level, particularly the coffin kiss.

Zach Drops By The Set:



Loved looking to see where/how he would show up. The L&O and 30 Rock bits were great, but the SNL moment with the little kid was the best.

Vampire Weekend!


This didn't air during the show, but Zach shaved his beard mid-show:

82nd Academy Award Predictions

The Oscars have finally arrived! They were delayed this year because of the Winter Olympics, and I'm so glad they've finally arrived. While the extra weeks of campaigning have helped the awareness of most titles, it has actually hurt The Hurt Locker's chances.

Below are the nominees:
