Local girl makes good again--Jennifer Lawrence, a native of my adopted city, has her third nomination at age 23. This one's for supporting actress in "American Hustle"--she won best actress for "Silver Linings Playbook", and at 20 was nominated for "Winter's Bone".

I haven't seen anything but trailers and mini-clips of her work. Need to remedy that.
 
I have a few academy screeners and just saw "Captain Philips." I thought Tom did a great job. At first, I was a little worried they were going to portray the pirates as poor victims since the first scene shows them being force into a boat by their leader...but by the end, you really cheer when the SEALS get their hat trick. Tonight is "American Hustle"...looking forward to that.

It's a particularly excellent crop of first rate pictures that were nominated. Ditto the actors/actresses.

Just for sentimental reasons I would like to see Bruce Dern take best actor Oscar. Otherwise it's got to be Christian Bale from "American Hustle."
 
I think the last time my wife and I were in a theater was about three years ago... and I can't even remember what we saw.

My son, however, is a movie nut. I just use him as a "screener". When he sees a movie he liked, I'll just wait till it comes out on DVD and watch it then.
