I have seen every movie this year that has been nominated for a major Academy Award.
I dragged my husband to the animation short films yesterday at our local arts theater.
I made my friend go back there with me this morning to see the live action nominated short films.
I do not go to the movies as an excuse to eat fresh popcorn.
I go to the movies because I love the movies.
I got the movie-loving gene from my late mom.
I know I have passed it on to my daughter who, when in the same zip code as me on Christmas Day, shares in the tradition of a movie triple header and Chinese food. We deviated from that this year -- the Chinese food -- and are putting it back to committee for a vote next year.
So here are my selections, in the categories people care about -- my apologies to the documentaries and best foreign language films -- before the stars saunter down the Red Carpet and dear Ellen DeGeneres entertains us for three-plus hours.
The envelope please:
Animated feature film: Frozen
Best animated short: Room on The Broom - UK
Best live action short: Aquel No Era Yo (That Wasn't Me) -Espana

Best supporting actress: Lupita Nyong'o - 12 Years a Slave

Off to make popcorn!!!
