Column by JIM O’DONNELL In general, I thought the 86th Academy Awards went well. I think everyone who won a golden statue deserved it although I was disappointed that American Hustle, The Wolf of Wall Street and August:Osage County went home empty handed.
It was a shock really, but I guess there are only so many Oscars to go around. If the Oscars were to include more categories for Best Picture and Actors as the Golden Globes do, they would have won one.

Coming attractions include: Divergent, Muppets Most Wanted, Madagascar, Rio 2, Noah, Bears, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return.
I’m still having trouble deciding on Need for Speed. The only reason I’m considering it is because Aaron Paul, who played Jesse in Breaking Bad, is in the lead role. What do you think?
