It's beginning to feel a lot like AWARDS SEASON

During my break from my *gulp* last few weeks at American University, I am currently sitting on my lovely living room couch, finishing my third day's turkey dinner feast while watching the Indiana Jones marathon on USA (thankfully excluding the most recent and most disturbing of the Indy series). Simultaneously I begin flipping through my back issues of EW (I know you're thinking, how does she do it all? I don't because I didn't even notice that one Indy movie changed into a different one during this time. But honestly, there isn't much of a difference between the 2nd and 3rd with the exception of Sean Connery, of course. Ramble, ramble. Back to my point). As I read about their current Academy Award guesses for the ceremonies in February, it made me think about this funnily failed project of mine and decided that I am going to attempt this again and here is why:

1. I am graduating college and will actually have time to do it, or so I think.
2. I was lucky enough to be invited to attend the Telluride Film Festival as part of the Student Symposium. I feel that this has given me a bit of a leg up on last year.
3. My internship at Allied Integrated Marketing has also given me access to see some of the most buzzed about films.
4. I might be going slightly crazy.
5. Most importantly, my pride is hurt.

Here is a short list of films that I have already seen that will make it to some category within the awards, in my opinion: The Artist, Pina, The Adventures of Tin Tin, Hugo, The Help, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2, Shame, We Need to Talk About Kevin, The Forgiveness of Blood, The Kid with the Bike, Le Havre, The Help, A Dangerous Method and last but certainly not least, Bridesmaids.

Seriously, can the Academy give a comedic actress the chance? Melissa  McCarthy, you are my hero.

January 24th gives way to the nominations for the February 26th ceremony. Can't wait to see this year's snubs!
