Oscars!

The Oscars are tonight! I'm not as excited as usual for the show this year as I am not predicting there to be any surprises.  I think The Artist will walk away with the most awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.  The Descendants will come in second because of Best Actor, and maybe even Best Screenplay.  For most of the categories, you can just look at who has dominated for the other award shows, and they will be the ones to come out of top once again tonight.

Make sure you tune in tonight at 7 on ABC.  I'm sure Billy Crystal will not disappoint.

Quick Thoughts

During the last episode a few weeks ago of The Office (Pool Party), I started to pick up on the Kathy-Jim dynamic the show was going with (like when Kathy needed a chicken partner and asked where Jim was).  The end of this week's episode confirmed my suspicions in the last minute of the episode in which Kathy was on the phone saying she planned to hook up with Jim during their trip to Florida.  Even though I suspected it, I am freaking out about where the show is going to take this.  I am going to be PISSED if Jim cheats on Pam.  The two of them are probably the cutest couple on television and the first few seasons of this show were all about the two of them getting together.  They also just had a new baby and are great parents on the show, and there is no sign at them having a faltering marriage.  I am hoping this just turns into one of those Kathy tries to kiss Jim and he rejects it type of moments so that she can just go away.

Quick Advice

I got around to watching the pilot of NBC's Smash, and I was impressed.  I had lower expectations because I didn't want to get my hopes up, but watching it reminded me of watching the movie Chicago.  As long as the show can continue to remind me of Broadway, I will continue to be hooked.  The only thing that could potentially harm this show is if they start to focus too much on the dramatics of the characters (such as too much focus on Debra Messing's adoption).  I was also very impressed with Megan Hilty and thought she killed that baseball number.  I think her voice is better than Katherine McPhee's!  If you like Broadway, and even if you just like quality scripted drama television, you should give this show a try...it will probably be sticking around for awhile!
