Hey blog readers. Since we now have another decade of Oscar nominees “in the can,” I’ll be working on a 2010s Oscar nominees blog! Exciting, right? While starting on it, I noticed that the previous Oscar nominees blogs could use some…streamlining – so in the process of doing the new blog, I’ll be streamlining the old ones, too. Nominees will be shown as bulleted lists of names/titles rather than as just copy with commas/semicolons. Trust me – these blogs will be MUCH easier to “study” than the old ones (don’t say I didn’t do anything nice for my blog readers today, LOL)!

Here’s a sample:

Old version:

WINNER – BEST LEADING ACTRESS – Hilary Swank – Million Dollar Baby

Nominees – Annette Bening, Being Julia; Catalina Sandino Moreno, Maria Full of Grace; Imelda Staunton, Vera Drake; Kate Winslet, Finding Neverland.

New hotness:

BEST LEADING ACTRESS –

Hilary Swank – Million Dollar Baby

Nominees:

• Annette Bening, Being Julia
• Catalina Sandino Moreno, Maria Full of Grace
• Imelda Staunton, Vera Drake
• Kate Winslet, Finding Neverland

I don’t want to spend TOO much time on blogs today! The sun is actually SHINING! I’ve been on “strike” from taking walks the past couple of days because of the offensively cold weather (it’s March, so this time it’s personal, Mother Nature), but I’ll be definitely going out today!

Also, the remainder of our tax refund money came today, so I’ll have a working phone again very soon. (long sigh) YES, I’ll be much, more careful with this stupid thing! I’m going to put a note on my washing machine door reminding me to CHECK ALL POCKETS.

What does all of this mean?
