Oscars anyone?

I am so looking forward to Sunday night when I plan to be glued to my TV as the Oscar drama unfolds. I will be watching the academy awards alone but NYC has a spate of Oscar Parties planned for the occassion-http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/05/urbaneye/05ubn1.html.
No doubt Avatar will win a truck load of awards but I am most interested in the Best Actress category where Meryl Streep is nominated for her role as Julia Child in Julie and Julia a movie set in NYC .(. If I am not mistaken in the dreary nabe of LIC.:)). I recently saw an interview with Julie Powell on whose book the movie is based and she said she loved the fact that NYC figured as a 'character' in the movie. So now more than ever I want the brilliant Meryl Streep to win that bald, gold man! Are you planning to watch the Oscars as well?

Meh. I doubt I'll watch, but we can meet back here to complain a little about the winners/losers.

I want NYC to win! The city's been a character enough times she deserves her own Oscar!

Why did I think the Oscars already happened? I really need to figure out how to get the tv cable in my room to work... But I am rooting for Meryl Streep, too! I love how gracefully and apparently plastic surgery-free she has chosen to age, and also she's brilliant.

I feel like Sandra Bullock may win; but, as much as I like her, I don't want her to win.

Sandra Bullock and an Oscar? Say it ain't so!

I doubt that I'll be watching, these award ceremonies tend to bore me... a lot. Sometimes I put them on as background noise, but I doubt I'll even bother to do that...

I love Meryl Streep, but hasn't she won enough already? She's great, but somehow it doesn't feel "fair" if she wins - she's like Judi Dench. You KNOW they're better - you don't need reminding of it all the time!

I love watching award shows for the few underdogs that win. It's so exciting when someone is completely shocked by the award.

@Everyone well as you all know by now amazing Meryl didnt win- I absolutely adored her in Julie and Julia( a movie based where else but in NYC) and was rooting for her big time.
@ajadedidealist though Meryl has been nominated an astonishing 16 times she has won the gold statue only twice...btw Judi Dench is another one of my faves.. used to love watching her in the old English tv series - As time goes by...
