It's the time of the year where all those classy movies come out that blatantly want to win Oscars. And, due to their nature, about half are actually pretty good.

Me, I'm looking forward to The Black Daliah, among others.

Ah, these would be the films I would never watch, and I would be lucky to have heard of.

Is it best use of Bats in a motion picture?

That's my favourite award.

Er...I was talking about movies like The Fountain and Children of Men. You know, the really great movies that are released at the end of the year.

Never heard of those.

Which is why I normally don't do award shows like this I haven't a clue what films they're talking about ;)
