Academy Awards Predictions: First Female Best Director?!
I think that Avatar’s going to win an awful lot. Basically it’s going to win unless there’s a really compelling reason to give it to someone else.

Weekend Recap: Nominate me for Awards!

ScriptSavvy: Delay
I submitted my script to ScriptSavvy way way back in October. Like October 2nd. It didn’t really occur to me that it could be 2 months before I heard anything from this monthly contest. But they say worst case scenario, you find out by the last day of the month after you submit (Nov 30) …

IMDb Update
1. I truly hate the new designs for individuals on IMDb. It’s ugly and difficult. But there is a way around it — go to by type on the side. 2. I’ve updated and added a bunch of credits to my IMDb page. At the prompting of one of the actors in my short musical …
