25 Movies To See Before Oscar Night

-
So you guys know it's my season..award season that is. I love award season. It's just the perfect bow to the whole year of everything popculture. It's exhilarating to see deserving people win, frustrating to see the snubs and fun to see your early predictions come true. Anyways, the Oscars are my least favorite award shows even though they are the most prestigious. I am just so over the old ass Academy now with their stuffiness/politics/sticking to old rules. They really need to branch out and see beyond the "usuals". All that being said, every year EW publishes the list of 25 movies to see before Oscar night and every year I try to watch most of it. I have never watched all 25 in all the many years I have been doing this, just because there are just some movies I will never watch, some movies are hard to find and by the time I have access I am like meh. So here we go:

1.  Frankenweenie
2.  Compliance
3.  The Perks of being a wallflower
4.  Middle of Nowhere
5.  How to survive a plague
6.  Looper
7.  The Dark Knight Rises
8.  The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
9.  Wreck-It Ralph
10. Anna Karenina
11. The Sessions
12. Django Unchained
13. Beasts of the Southern Wild
14. Moonrise Kingdom
15. The Master
16. Rust and Bone
17. The Impossible
18. Flight
19. Amour
20. Life of Pi
21. Silver Linings Playbook
22. Argo
23. Zero Dark Thirty
24. Les Miserables
25. Lincoln

So yea that's the list. How many has yours truly seen? A measly 10 - 3, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 22- but I still have time. I'll definitely have upped my number by Oscar night. I probably wont see 1 and 9 sha. How about you? Leave a comment and tell me your number and which ones you've seen. Golden Globes on Sunday. If you follow me on twitter, you can look out for my commentary. Have a wonderful weekend!

I am in class all bored and stuff with A LOT of stuff on my mind, sigh. I have done blog rounds and visited a lot of bloggers for the first time, so I decided to just write out some stuff I can share. - Are there people out there who don't suffer from procrastination? I need to get on whatever it is they are on. It's like I know what I need to be doing and should be doing but I just don't, it's the most amazing and infuriating thing. - So you know the stereotype of how most Asians are small and skinny. When I see a fat one, I usually wonder how they feel and if they feel like they have failed their race. Oh yea, Fat Asians make me uncomfortable (It's my random, sue me) - I used to LOVE the show, Friends. I still love it, actually it's my favorite comedy and second favorite show (behind Six Feet Under). Never missed an episode when it was on. I had the soundtrack cd to the show, I'd watch the reruns like I hadn't seen it ten million times, I'd say th

Pick me, Choose me, Love me....then Discuss

Before I post the topic of discussion, I have to preface it by saying that even though Grey's Anatomy is shit now, there was once a time it was a really good show. Ok, maybe shit is harsh but it definitely has more down than up episodes. Anyways, I really despised Meredith, my best friend never quite got why I couldn't stand her, she thought I would be able to relate to her (oh dear god, yuck!). I vividly remember that episode, when Derek was torn between Addison and herself and she told him: "okay, here it is, your choice... it's simple, her or me, and I'm sure she is really great. but, I love you, in a really, really big pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake,hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you. so pick me, choose me, love me". Dear God, I cringed. I remember feeling so embarassed for Meredith. I remember wondering what kind of woman loses her pride and
