Oscar Watch – Silver Linings Playbook

TV fanatics, take a break. The further into January we get, the fewer premieres there are to enjoy, as evidenced by the fact that we’ve already gotten to six of the seven highlights, and have ten days left in the month. I don’t have a premiere recommendation for you to enjoy tomorrow night, although The Following makes it debut then. It’s a thing with Kevin Bacon, and that’s about all I know. Instead, today I invite you to look ahead to next month’s Oscars, with a review of Silver Linings Playbook, one of nine nominees for Best Picture. I’ll get to as many of these as I can before the ceremony on February 24, but I’m warning you, it’s going to take a powerful force of nature to get me to see Life of Pi. There are some spoilers about the movie in the rest of the post, so tread carefully.
