The Oscars Pledge

At 8:30am tomorrow morning, the nomination for this year's Academy Awards will be announced.

Oh yes. Stand witness as the best movies from last year are snubbed in favour of flashy, splashy, melodrama! Bend your mind around the ridiculous clothing that passes for fashion! Bask in the almighty ego of James Cameron!

Lucky for you, dear readers, Masochism is my middle name (not really), and so, for your enjoyment, I pledge to watch all of the films nominated for the following awards:

Best Picture
Best Director
Best Actor and Supporting Actor
Best Actress and Supporting Actress
Best Original Screenplay
Best Adapted Screenplay
Best Cinematography

I'd also like to get in Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Documentary, Best Animated Feature, Best Film Editing, Best Makeup, Best Original Score, and Best Sound Editing, but lets not get ahead of ourselves here.

I'll stick to The Oscar Pledge and report back dutifully on the various merits and detriments of the films in question. I may go broke, and I may become bloated from popcorn consumption, but all this is of little consequence, since I will finally have obtained enough information to confidently cry from the rooftops "I HATE THE OSCARS! DEATH TO AWARD CEREMONIES ONCE AND FOR ALL! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Such a noble quest, no?

Stay tuned for updates. Wish me luck!
