YouTube Woes

When I began this lofty quest, I had high hopes of the internet being my greatest resource in finding all the nominated shorts , documentaries and foreign films that I would not be able to see otherwise. Unfortunately since Google has made a lot of copyrighted material disappear, I am having a really rough time finding some of these items. If you are reading out and want to help out *in fake southern drawl* a poor, helpless gal like myself, please post me links on Facebook if you are my friend, Twitter or here. Your help would be most welcomed.

Since my last posting, I have watched the Live Action Short nominee The Confession. The Irish are funnier than I expected. Watch it below.

I also went and saw Blue Valentine, Michelle William's nomination for Best Actress, with a few friends. I cried hysterically for about the last ten minutes of the film but now I can also see why some people were up in arms about Ryan Gosling not getting nominated. He made my heartache. What a great turn for him. Wish he would have received some recognition.

I also watched Exit Through the Gift Shop, nominated for Best Feature Length Documentary. Where I started with the film was certainly not where I ever thought I would end in the film. If you have Netflix, which I do not understand why anyone would not, it is on instant. Scathing and unexpected, it is one of the best documentaries that I have seen in a while.

That's all for now. 14 down, 44 to go!
