(Raises hand)
I have a confession to make.
I love movies. LOVE THEM. Could watch them all day.
But I have kids.
And kids are time consuming. And at the end of the day, I’m simply too exhausted to start a movie.
A few times, we’ve attempted it and *gasp*, I’ve actually fallen asleep. Sacrilegious to a movie-lover.
And, yet, I will be glued to the Oscars on Sunday night. There is simply something about them – the Red Carpet, the Hollywood swagger, the fashions, the stars, the films themselves – I adore. Jeff knows it is my ‘World Series’ night – the only night of the year I am allowed to watch uninterrupted.
It pains me to tell you I have seen a record ONE of the Best Picture nominated films. (Can you guess which one? Hint – I’m a mom. Nice work, can’t put anything past you: Up.) Does it count that I really want to see The Blind Side? And Hurt Locker? And Precious? And District Nine? And Invictus? And Nine?
I haven’t even seen Julie and Julia. I had it recorded, but my DVR deleted it in favor of the Olympics. *sigh*
I used to have a fancy Academy Awards party – girls only. (This was when Delaney was just a baby) We’d eat, gab, dish about the fashions, eat some more and naturally predict the winners.
I’m afraid this year my predictions will be nothing but guesses based on what I *hope* I will like the best.
But I will still be eating.
If you are the Academy-Award-Watching-Love-to-snack-away kind, (especially if you are hosting a little party) here’s a little something to inspire you. The widget below, from Hyundai’s Facebook Fan Page, showcases some Movie Inspired Eats…. Enjoy. And happy predicting.
