Oscars 2009 - Tip (Tops) Flops

So, in 20 Minuten geht der Spaß los. Hier. Schwarz auf Grün. Und zum Auslachen bekommt ihr mit diesem Post noch meine Tipps. Wie Anne muss ich aber dazu sagen, dass es teils wirklich schwer ist, sich ohne vorher gesehenen Film für einen Kandidaten zu entscheiden. Ich habe den Nachmittag zwar mit Trailern bei YouTube verbracht, geholfen hat mir das allerdings eher wenig. Was soll’s. Hab ich sicher irgendwo schon mal erwähnt: Es geht ja um den Spaß an der Sache. Also. Ich muss noch eben schnell Steven Gätjens Blog durchlesen, dann kann ich auch. BÄMM!
