GreenCine Liveblogging Oscars
Hey cool! Wait, my name is in this press release! WTF? Oh right, I said I would…
Jus’ joshin’ with ya. I’m super-psyched to watch the Independent Spirit Awards over at Austin Film Society on Saturday and then participate in this rad Oscar blog event over at GreenCine, one of the best movie blogs, on Sunday. Join us, won’t you please? Here’s the skinny, wholesale:
GreenCine will host an online commentary throughout the Academy Awards ceremony, moderated by GC editor Craig Phillips and an army of film bloggers including Erin Donovan (Steady Diet of Film blog), Agnes Varnum (Doc It Out), and numerous other witty film bloggers. Special guests include… you! And a host of other cinephile goofballs from all over the world along for the ride. If you would like to be a featured guest commentator, please drop me a line at craig@greencine.com.
Where: Online at http://www.greencine.com/static/oscarliveblog.jsp (you can register there for an e-mail reminder)
When: Sunday, February 24. Virtual seating begins at 4:45pm PST/7:45pm EST
We take film seriously so we’ll be taking the awards seriously - but only up to a point; if you can’t make snarky comments at the Oscars, when can you?
GreenCine’s editors and writers have years of experience writing about film online, via our award- winning, ever-popular film blog GreenCine Daily, with our oft-quoted primers and interviews, and in our numerous DVD reviews. Together, we’ve helped put together one of the premier sites for film lovers everywhere, and with our highly-regarded DVD rent-by-mail service, GreenCine.com has become a place for cinephiles to get their hands on an incredible array of films, new and old, international and American, all the while being part of a fabulous film community.
Our Live Blogging of the Oscars continues that tradition while adding the excitement and immediacy of a live event.
Our commentary. Your comments. Trivia questions. Polls, pictures and punditry. All this and it’s free. Jump in, jump out, jump back in again when you just can’t believe Daniel Day Lewis actually said *that.*
The Oscars are fun, but let’s face it, they need friends around to add running commentary. Consider us your virtual friends for the evening, tux and gown optional. We’ll also be giving away an Oscar-nominated film on DVD as well as a free one month GreenCine membership, so tell your friends!
Thanks for your sympathetic and thoughtful comments on the film and on Norman's situation. If you'd like to learn more ...
