MOVIES FOR THE WEEKEND

I'll definitely be seeing Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland 3-D -- just not this weekend. I'm going to be away in NYC; catching David Mamet's new show Race on Saturday. Should be great. I'll see Alice next weekend.

From Netflix is The Private Lives of Pippa Lee.

Enjoy the Oscars this Sunday!

Any pre-show predix, Nick?

I'm actually thinking "Avatar" may slip in and take the award from "The Hurt Locker." The latter has been killed by this producer's-weird-email crap. Shouldn't be, but it is. I'm not the first one to say that "The Hurt Locker" is better than "Avatar."

Joel -- my picks:

Avatar
Bigelow
Bridges
Bullock
Waltz
Monique
Basterds for original screenplay
Up in the Air adapted screenplay
Up best animated

What do you think?

Also -- I REALLY hope that The Hurt Locker wins best picture...
