The Academy Awards are fast approaching! Do you watch the awards? Which films have you seen? Which ones are you cheering for? Who will take home the big awards?

I love to watch them, too, although I do think they're getting pretty corrupt - giving out 'consolation prizes' and letting politics get in the way and such. What I especially love is to see the gorgeous dresses, being a costume nut. In today's society, we just have so opportunities to take part in pageantry - a far cry from the days when a great deal of our socializing took place at balls and dinner parties. The Oscars are one of the few vestiges of this left.

I like that too!Except Gwyneth Paltrow's dress when she won for Shakespeare in Love, could have gone without that
