(I had to include this video by BriTANick, it's a few years old. But I love it.)
Once again, Meg and I will be facing off to see who can complete a better ballot. This year's competition has been stiff, and I have been working hard to watch all of the movies, see all the performances, and make less emotional decisions to beat Meg. We shall see how I fair on Monday, where I will assess how Seth MacFarlane did as a host. I don't think I would be the only one who would support Amy Poehler and Tina Fey as permanent hosts for awards shows. They are a tough act to follow, Good Luck Seth! (Side note: Still angry about "Heather" being included in the "White Trash" name list in Ted.)
The Academy is trying to bring a hipper less dated awards show to gain an audience. I am doubtful they will be able to attract the Walking Dead audience on a Sunday night, even I am having a hard time not tuning in for my weekly zombie skull crushing fix. But it'll have to wait until Monday.
Now may the best TV enthusiast win!!!!
