34 minutes ago by Mego

Just this morning, I was hanging around Awards Daily -- the web site dedicated to the Oscar roundup for the year -- and I took a poll as to what will be nominated for the National Board of Review. When I clicked in the drop-down box to vote, I realized there aren't many great movies from 2009. Some ...

Holy Geez????

Okay, okay, I give. I was going to like totally ignore Sarah Palin and her “book,” even bypassing a chance to indulge in schadenfreude when she got booed for stiffing some of her fans.
