I watched it this morning and, while I regularly expect that category to be unpleasant, I wasn't expecting this to be as bad as what I saw.

It's probably on the Oscar.com site as well. Steve Martin looks and acts like the guy in a rubber old man mask dancing up and down in those Great America commercials. I am so not looking forward to this show. Anyone catch the TV spot for the Awards? It’s probably on the Oscar.com site as well.

It has its "official" opening in the U.S. after the Oscars. The Secret of the Kells was given a brief Oscar qualifying run in L.A. in December.

I actually have a copy of it that I've been meaning to watch. I heard very good things, but I didn't think it would get an Oscar nomination, especially considering the fact that practically no one has seen it I’d heard of The Secret of Kells… I actually have a copy of it that I’ve been meaning to watch.

I guess my initial hunch was a correct one. Ah well, so go the hazards of predicting.
