Road to the Oscars® 2011!

Sunday is the big night! Hollywood honors its stars and a year in artistic achievement. Much like 2010, the 2011 was highlighted by fantastic documentaries, two in fact that the Academy neglected to mention - Senna and Beats, Rhymes and Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest. Two films that deserve so much more attention than they have already gotten, while Senna won the BAFTA for Best Documentary, Beats, Rhymes and Life is more than just a film about a legendary hip-hop group, it is about a movement.

Yet, of course the show centers on the narrative film, we had a year that took as back in time. With The Artist, the cinematic masterpiece that pays homage to Hollywood's Golden Era and Martin Scorsese's Hugo - which not only tells a brilliant story but also honors legendary French filmmaker George Melies. While so many films came through the door this year, host Billy Crystal returns as the true Master of Ceremonies and we will have to wait and see what the show brings.
