Sunday night is America’s Night at the Movies. It’s the night when glamour meets art and Tommy Lee Jones celebrates with the industry that made him rich.
A look at some of the best picture nominees:
Silver Linings Playbook: This movie is about a young man who comes unhinged at a football game. We wouldn’t know anyone like that.
Life of Pi: I don’t want to spoil the movie for you if you haven’t seen it. Pi is either a kid, a tiger, a boat, or a dessert that needs ice cream in order to be valid.
But when I was in school, pi was 3.14159265358979, otherwise known as the percentage chance that the Huskies will beat us in the upcoming football season.
Lincoln: An epic saga of how one visionary leader, along with other like-minded people of good faith and noble intent, led a group of people out of the depths of bondage, sadness, and grief.
AMOUR: Yes we do.
