82 days of Oscar

Hello all, and welcome to this latest blog in the bWorld. This is the blog that I will use for everything that has anything to do with movies. As a film/television/screenwriting student myself, it is quite obvious that these things are a passion of mine, which is why i think it is utterly appropriate to dedicate an entire blog to this subject.

Now, the best way to start a blog is to have an entire project ready for it from the beginning. And this is what we're gonna do here: starting on October 17th, I will start watching one movie that has won the oscar for Best Picture a day, reviewing them and giving them some critical sidenotes on this blog. I will keep Sundays and holidays free, as well as the week that I will be in New York. Should the need arise, and it almost certainly will, I will have those Sundays as a buffer to make up for a movieless day... But this way I will have watched Slumdog Millionaire, the latest winner of the most coveted oscar, on Monday, February 1st, the day before the nominations for the 82nd oscars are announced.

It will be quite a massive undertaking. By the time I'm done, I will have watched 82 movies (shouldn't that be 81? Wait for the 1st post to find out why it's 82!), totalling approximately 11409 minutes of film, or 7 days, 22 hours and 9 minutes. And that's only the beginning, because after the oscarnominations, I will probably be watching some 30-40 more movies, of course writing about them on this blog. So stick around, I hope you'll enjoy it, and tune back in on October 17th for my first post!
