Oscar events 2009: Shorts Swanking and Oscar party - Page 4

No, no ... it was not a filler. It's an actual nominee.

Filler films do not qualify for Worst Nominated Short Film.

Ghoulish Delight · 02-09-2009, 03:56 PM

No, it's not a nominee. Varmint was filler.

The 5 noms were Lavatory, Octopus, Maison de Petits Cubes, This Way Up, and Presto.

And you could've yelled "GOSH DARNIT VARMINT" as you did.

Just a reminder that our Oscar party is on Sunday!

We will start to gather our refreshments this week, so I'm looking for a head count. These are the ones I know about:

IN
Tom
Heidi
Mousepod
Mrs. pod
iSm
Sohrshah
Lance
Bornieo

MAYBE?
GD/CP mentioned the possibility at the shorts
Prudence/Lab Rat, depending on how Pru feels post-travel-bleah

Who else have we?

Ghoulish Delight · 02-17-2009, 10:02 PM

We will be there.

Morrigoon · 02-17-2009, 10:27 PM

I think I have an early shift sunday, so I may be able to come. I'll check before confirming.

Prudence · 02-17-2009, 11:27 PM

I'm still pondering. I'm assuming traffic and parking will be hideous?

innerSpaceman · 02-17-2009, 11:29 PM

Traffic, no. Parking, yes.

But that has nothing to do with Oscar day. Parking is always hideous there.

The fact that we gleefully deal with it is testament to the swankiness of the Chez gatherings.

And yet, so few people call to say "hey, I'm here, can I park in your lot?" If we re-park our cars outside, there's up to five spots available in the garage! So call us when you arrive!

iSm's right on about the traffic - so long as you're not taking side streets ON Hollywood. We may only be 1.5 miles away from the carpet, but all the re-direct doesn't affect the blocks between our exit and the Chez.
