Tonight is the night! Get the popcorn and champagne ready for Hollywood's biggest night. In a film year marked by outstanding performances in solid films, we will honor film's art and achievements for another year. In a year when documentaries like
The Two Escobars, Exit Through the Gift Shop, Client #9 and
Inside Job had some brilliant narratives they could have been features and that the best picture of the year had no human actors in it, it shows the strength of motion pictures. With a new generation of hosts in
James Franco and
Anne Hathaway, the Oscars are going for ratings gold in trying to bring in a new audience and appeal. Hopefully they can lighten up the usual stuffy telecast. Also, one who everyone is curious to see lighten up the show and bring surprises will be mysterious street artist
Banksy, who's documentary,
Exit Through The Gift Shop has been nominated for Best Documentary. We will have to see!
