Unattractiveness

This is my first annual Oscar predictions column, for which I am uniquely qualified by not having seen a single one of the movies nominated in any category.

No wonder Ann is single. Boasting about one's ignorance on a subject they profess to care nothing about smacks of low self-esteem and — well — ignorance. Those are highly unattractive traits in a mate. Someone should explain that to her. She probably doesn't care, though. But as usual, Ann does the best job of defining the far-right agenda as anyone I could possibly think of. Ignorance is bliss.

On another note, Stokes County and Triad NC-area readers of the BP should be especially attentive to the Oscars this year. 'Junebug' director Phil Morrison and screenwriter Angus MacLachan are Winston-Salem natives, NCSA graduates, and MacLachlan still resides in W/S; the film is involved via a 'Best Supporting Actress' nom for actress Amy Adams in her role as Ashley. The film was shot almost entirely in the Forsyth/Stokes/Surry area. And to top it all off, it's simply a great film.
