Just take the Oscar, now

I saw "Juno" over the weekend, and it was much, much better than I was expecting. The star, Ellen Page, has just been nominated for Best Actress. I am not sure I've ever seen a movie when part of the way through I'm like, "yep, just give her the Oscar, now." She is really that good. The movie is guaranteed to win Best Original Screenplay (the writing is superb and be ready to learn lots of new terminology). It may just go all the way and take Best Picture.

Not a movie I was all that eager to see. It's about a 16 year old that gets pregnant. But, well, you just have to see it . . .and contrary to what some may initially think before seeing it, it's not pro-choice and does not celebrate irresponsibility.
