Well, the Academy Awards are on Sunday, so I bet you can guess today’s theme… movie madness and dogs on film! (Sing that last part like you’re Duran Duran… that’s how it sounded in my head just now.)
- First up, your punny pet names: Billy Grrr-ystal, Barkin’ Scorsese, and Meryl Cheep (for a bird).
- Throwing an Oscar party? You could make some punny dishes inspired by the nominees and then decorate with these fun printables.
- At your party, you could reenact scenes from past winners. Just be careful which role you let this guy play. (In a moment of synergy, I just saw an ad for the re-release of Titanic in April. I’m so there. Be proud, 17 year old me. I’ll never let go.)
- If that’s not your speed, you could discuss the greatest movie quotes of all time. The first category? Legal movie quotes.
- Whatever you do, just make sure you’re comfy – it’s a long show.
- I could watch this funny clip of Oscar nominee Jean Dujardin auditioning to be a villain all day. No joke.
- I usually try to watch as many Oscar nominees as possible before the big night. What’s your favorite? This year, maybe I should try to catch some of the nominated shorts too.
- It’s the year of the dog on the red carpet. I just have to smile every time I see Uggie, the canine star of The Artist (and a former rescue pup, like our pal Chopper). Check out this great interview with his trainer, and then get a glimpse behind the scenes with Uggie and Cosmo (star of Beginners).
- Uggie’s far from the first four-legger to rock the red carpet – enjoy this slideshow to see more. (Sadly, Uggie won’t be on the red carpet on Sunday. He would have totally upstaged all of the starlets. However, I hope he’s enjoying his recently announced retirement and that he’s doing well.)
- Why stop there? I’m totally into the Golden Collar Awards. Most adorable nominees ever.
- What’s your favorite dog movie? (Here are some of mine.)
Finally, this video made me smile… and laugh… and cry… and cringe a little. (In any event, I had to share it just for the punny name near the end.)
