Marshall and the Movies

I was less than enthused about “Secretariat” in my Oscar Moment. “Kill me NOW,” I wrote.  Sorry, it’s hard to stay impartial when no one is holding you to journalistic ethics.

But after the inclusion of “The Blind Side” (a hopeful anomaly) in last year’s ten, we have to consider that any movie that is about sports and inspirational might be able to strike a cord with the Academy.  So I left a poll at the bottom, asking you whether you thought “Secretariat” would be a Best Picture nominee.

Looks like you all don’t think “Secretariat” will be trod the same path as “The Blind Side” or “Seabiscuit.”  By a definitive margin, the “no way” option won out, two whole votes over the yaysayers.

I sure hope we bet on the right horse.  Yes, the puns will keep coming all the way through awards season.
