Every year I look forward to it: Oscar night! From the time I was a little girl to now whenever the Oscars are on TV I get a hankering to make California Onion Dip (Lipton’s Soup Recipe) and enjoy a root beer float. It’s a tradition my mother started and one I continue. I even print out ballots for everyone. I think going to the movies — not just any movie, mind you — but good, outstanding filmmaking is one smart endeavor. I love ‘em. I don’t even care that Hollywood is so Hollyweird today. I just like going to the movies. We buy big boxes of movie candy at Walgreens then usually spring for some popcorn and soda. Sometimes I sneak in my soda, too! I could care less that the movie concessions want to sponge my wallet — I don’t want them to! Tomorrow night we are looking forward to see Wal • EE win best animated picture of the year. I understand Slumdog Millionaire is the front runner for Best Picture. Dunno. Haven’t seen it. But I’m going tonight!
