It’s a short podcast tonight. I tried the 30 Day Shred, found some new muscles that hadn’t been used in a while, talk about my training, and get around to the Oscar nominations!

Happy Running!

  • Leading actor: Colin Firth, The King’s Speech
  • Supporting actor: Christian Bale, The Fighter (a very close race with Geoffrey Rush, The King’s Speech)
  • Leading actress: Natalie Portman, Black Swan
  • Supporting actress: Amy Adams, The Fighter (even though everyone is probably rooting for Hailee Steinfeld)
  • Animated feature: Toy Story 3
  • Best Picture: The King’s Speech

Just for kicks, here is my ranking for the best pictures from one I enjoyed the most to the one I enjoyed the least:

  1. The King’s Speech
  2. 127 Hours
  3. Toy Story 3
  4. The Fighter
  5. The Social Network
  6. Inception
  7. True Grit
  8. Black Swan
  9. The Kids Are All Right
  10. Winter’s Bone

Of course, since there are 10 movies again this year it’s a two day event. We aren’t attending next week Saturday’s event, but we’ll use the time to see the one last picture that is on our list, which by then will be Black Swan.

Today we saw:

  • The King’s Speech: LOVE IT! This by far my favorite right now.
  • 127 Hours: Very good.
  • True Grit: It was good, witty, and the Coen brothers are always great contenders.
  • The Fighter: Awesome!

We already saw:

  • Toy Story 3: Like you even have to ask me, I love the Toy Story movies! And, did I mention that I met Tom Hanks?
  • The Kids are All Right: It was good, but not really my kind of movie.
  • Inception: I think I need to see this movie again. Jennifer explained it to me. Jay and Jay explained it to me. I still don’t quite get it.
  • The Social Network: Do people really talk that fast? I mean, holy moly, take a breath every once in a while. It was good though. Much better than I thought it would be. Also, my husband liked it. And he *hates* Facebook.

Up tomorrow is Winter’s Bone, which we have on DVD from Netflix.

I guess after that I need to conquer whatever is on Netflix in the Instant Queue that’s been nominated.
