First of all, we’d like to thank everyone who took part in our Academy Awards Contest for making it our most successful yet! We’re busy tallying the results, and will announce the prize-winners in next week’s newsletter (and here on our blog), so be sure to check back!
Speaking of Academy Awards, we have two Oscar nominees getting a well-timed release this week–Jason Reitman‘s Up In the Air and Lee Daniels‘ Precious– along with the Disney comedy Old Dogs and Michael Moore‘s latest exposé Capitalism: A Love Story. Click the links above to find out more…
Also, our congratulations go out to Boulder’s own Louie Psihoyos, director of the Academy Award-winning documentary The Cove. His acceptance speech was regrettably cut short during the Oscar broadcast, but if you’re interested in what he would have had to say, click here to read his prepared speech, or click here to read about his continuing efforts to protect endangered species. Bravo Louie!
