So the Oscar Noms came out last week. I fricken love award shows. I don't really know what it is about them. I mean, I do like the fashions, and I like wondering what they will say in their acceptance speeches but I most of all like seeing the reactions when they win. I know the chances of me winnin an award like that in my lifetime is ahh, slim to none. But that's okay. I just love seeing how happy they get when they really, truly do not know if they are going to win! Like Kate Winslet at the Golden Globes forgetting Angelina Jolie's name (which did seem hard to believe that anyone would forget A.J.!) or Meryl Streep at the SAG awards just squealing with delight over her win. It seems as if being one of those two amazing actresses that it would get to be redundant getting numerous awards, but the joy they each exzuded was really cool. Here are just some of the noms incase you missed them:
