  1. Hi, everyone!

    Actually 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,

  2. Hi Flavia,

    Once 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.

  4. Hi, guys.

    Bili (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?
