Ten nominees? TEN???

The Academy Awards next year will have TEN nominees for Best Picture. I think that's a little much! They should at least split it into Drama/Comedy like they do for the Golden Globes.

On the plus side, there's less chance of one obvious winner...

Go, Nia!

Nia Vardalos (of My Big Fat Greek Wedding) is blasting critics who make fun of her for getting the hunk in her latest movie, My Life in Ruins. Apparently, women who are somewhat chunky aren't allowed to get with hot guys. She points out the hypocrisy here: in other movies, chunky slobs like Seth Rogen (in his past films, not currently!) get the gorgeous women and that's somehow okay. Lame! It's nice that someone is sticking up for us "Plus Size" gals.

Summer movies so far...

Spoilers for some things...

Star Trek was awesome. I can't say enough about how much I loved it. The new cast is terrific, and I don't even mind the new alternate timeline JJ Abrahms has created. There's a whole new universe for this cast to play with (no Vulcan? Waaah!). I can't wait for the next one!

Night at the Museum: The Battle of the Smithsonian was entertaining, but not as good as the first one. Amy Adams is so charming- she's become one of my favorite actresses.

Tomorrow, I'm going to see Up. After that, maybe Land of the Lost, because Will Ferrell hasn't let me down yet. Then nothing until Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. The trailer for that was exciting!
