Hi, everyone!
ResponderExcluirActually I don´t like movies. I´m kind of a weird person, I know. However, to help the discussion, Google has created an application to find out the Oscar winners:

Have you seen it?
Do you agree with the trends?
Enjoy,

Hi Flavia,
ResponderExcluirOnce I would not be able to contribute to your Oscar theme (since I have not gone to movies), I saw this blog post about Oscar winners guessing.
Google wants to know if search trends can help predict who are going to win the award.

Hi, guys.
ResponderExcluirBili (Telemedicine)- I want to talk about the Original Song: We belong together (toy Story 3) and dedicate that to Barbie and Ken. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go watch the film, and you'll think different about a Barbie.
Vanessa (Telemedicine) - I believe that Jesse Eisenberg, running for Actor in a Leading Role (The Social Network), acted well because I felt angry by his "poker face" when he put his best friend off his business. As an actor he could show a mix of unscrupulous and immature behavior with other people too (e.g.Harvard colleagues, his girlfriend). So, the audience feels angry and pity at the same time.
What do you think?
