My Oscar Movie Mission. Saturday, March 2, 2013. I feel like those films in the 'best original screenplay' category should get more love than they do. this thought was brought to you today by the following sequence of events:. New Great Gatsby poster. Searched the Amazon Kindle store. Foolishly thinking I could get the book for free as a Prime member - because I want to re-read Gatsby. Noticed a link for the Silver Linings Playbook. book. Part of me wants to read Silver Linings Playbook because obviously...

My Oscar Movie Mission: January 2012
http://www.oscar.sshay.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
