Award show season is here! I love the Golden Globes and the Oscars. Every year I try to watch as many of the nominated movies as I can. This year will be a challenge because we have three kids in the house now and one of them is a baby. Not too many people are willing or able to babysit three small kids. I've been focusing on the movies on DVD or pay-per-view for now.

There are still a lot of movies to be seen. Unfortunately most of the nominated movies aren't available on DVD yet. Travis and I are working on a plan to get a babysitter and go see Avatar. I have a feeling it will be nominated for quite a few Oscars too so it's a good one to see.
Maybe our men will watch the children and we could go see one or two.
