Off-Topic: Going for the Gold (Part One)

Don’t be alarmed by the following ad—

I’m sure this year’s Oscars will be as dull as ever, though kudos to whomever compiled that montage and made it look as though Feb. 22 will feature the most exciting three four hours of all time. Jon Stewart‘s not even hosting. On the other hand, Hugh Jackman may actually sing, which might make things worthwhile. Not to mention the fact that he’s chock full of adamantium. But anyway, now that I’ve seen most of the worthy (and not-so-worthy) Academy Award nominees, I figured it was time for my Oscars predictions post. What does this have to do with foreign steamy romance? Um, nothing. However, this is a film blog and I’m a critic—did you really think I could restrain myself?
