We used to watch them together whenever we both lived in the same state (when I was growing up and the past few years before she passed away). When we lived in different states, we would always call each other and talk about the awards and the show. It was my mom's favorite award show. This was the first year it fell on the date of her death, which made it extra special, but also a little bit sad. Even though I did not see any of the movies that were up for awards this year, I still enjoyed watching the show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6503936279345648209.post-29753225643917857602009-02-24T20:05:00.000-08:002009-02-24T20:05:00.000-08:00Laurie, Thanks for leaving this comment.

We saw it all -- and kept up with all the indies and foreign films, so by the time Oscar night rolled around I could really get into it. I used to get together to watch the show with an elderly woman who was one of my closest friends. If we couldn't be together, we'd talk the next morning about all the gowns, hair, speeches, moments. She passed away last year and I think that for the rest of my life I'll watch the show and remember Fran.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14256613312759056047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6503936279345648209.post-19423996123114488592009-02-23T06:31:00.000-08:002009-02-23T06:31:00.000-08:00I didn't watch because I hadn't seen any of the mo...I didn't watch because I hadn't seen any of the movies yet but I really want to see Slumdog very soon.
