So a bunch of people I know are going crazy because the Oscar nominations came out today. That only means one thing – horribly overwrought examination of what people wear to an awards show is just around the corner!
OK, it means two things, that first thing and that The Brians will be coming up soon. If you don’t know, The Brians are my yearly awards for movies which I saw in the theater in the previous year. This year, I believe 12 movies will be eligible. I say “I believe” because I only looked at what I posted about online and already notice that I somehow never blogged about seeing The Muppets. That means I need to go check my ticket stubs to make sure I didn’t leave anything out.
Anyways, the qualifying movies for The 2012 Brians are:
- We Bought a Zoo
- Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
- Happy Feet 2
- Moneyball
- Horrible Bosses
- Kung Fu Panda 2
- Bad Teacher
- Bridesmaids
- The Muppets
- Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Roderick Rules
- The King’s Speech
- Gulliver’s Travels
The Brians will be announced on Feb. 28 in my weekly column in The Evening Sun. Secondary awards will appear online later that week.
