question of the day: Is there any better choice than the Muppets for Oscar hosts?
Spongebob Squarepants? Troy McClure and Rainier Wolfcastle? Who else could we trust with this noble endeavor?

question of the day: What movie are you most looking forward to in Autumn 2011?

Warrior (trailer)
Irony! Tragedy! There’s not a dry eye in the house. Oscars all around!

question of the day: How much is too much to spend on producing a movie?
