AG this is so awesome!! You are great, girl!!
I’m really excited about the opportunity! 🙂
OMG!!! This is so exciting! As a serious movie buff and a long-time fan of the Oscars, I couldn’t be prouder of my favorite blogger gaining press credentials to the main event. The coming months are always fun for me as I try to see all of the nominated films, but now it will be even more so w/44-D’s coverage. This is fan-freakin-tastic! Way to go! Kudos! You go girl! XOXO
Nothing like blogging the Oscars in your pajamas! Joan Rivers eat your heart out 😉
Damn straight, baby! We’re gonna collaborate the heck outta this thing! 🙂 XOXO
I’m going to sit in front of my TV watching ABC until March 7th so I don’t miss the telecast 😉
hey Geot! you can’t do that, we have to liveblog this he he 😉
Indeed!! I am so proud of you, AG!! In honor of your achievement, I will host a live awards show party for family and friends. We’ll have the TV on and the site up, and we’ll be chiming in. So….. are we going to get a rundown of our sentimental favorites for the Oscars (and our take on the best movies from 09?) Please say yes!! 🙂
Thank you Ogenec, it sounds wonderful! We’ve got all sorts of things planned between now and March. We’ll be doing some polling of peoples favorites and some in-depth coverage of each award category and each actor and film nominated. If you have some good eats at your Oscars® party, you can always FedEx some to me. ha! Especially if your sister makes her famous Pomegranate Pound Cake. 😉 Right now we are waiting for the official category picks to come in on Feb 2nd. After that, as they say, it’s on!
I think that’s a terrific idea to have a rundown of our faves in each category. How fun! Great idea Ogenec!
