Oscars - Do You Care?

Will you see the contenders?

I recently spent time with a girlfriend who proudly told me that she had seen ALL of this year’s contenders for the Academy Awards “best picture” category.  This year, that’s a pretty big time commitment since there are ten films in the running.

Her excitement over the list prompted me to take a look, and I was surprised that I’ve seen four of the ten.  I have to say that of the films I did see in... READ MORE

Sandra Bullock Offers Wise Words at the Oscars

Did you watch?
CBS News

So I watched the Oscars.

I wasn’t planning to, but then there they were. And there I was. And I watched.

I like pretty dresses and flashy jewelry and seeing movie stars playing themselves in real life. I take comfort in knowing I’m not the only Catholic woman who pays attention to such frivolous stuff.

By the time it was nearly midnight, though, I was beginning to question my decision to commit to... READ MORE
