Haven Oscar Night
This past Sunday the Haven had an Oscar night event. We had a discussion panel of three writers and a spaghetti dinner. I’d say there was a little over 100 people there, so it was a pretty big turnout.
I’ve never payed much attention to the Oscars unless there was a movie I liked up for something big. This year, in fact I hadn’t seen any of the nominees for best picture. Most of them I never even knew existed until a few days before the awards ceremony. I still don’t want to see Crash, or Brokeback Mountain, but after seeing clips from Capote and Good Night and Good Luck, I might just have to go out and rent them on DVD.
We made a Haven Nation podcast episode out of the panel discussion. Unfortunately all we had to record with was a single Logitech tabletop microphone, so there’s a lot of background noise. It’s interesting to see what a small panel of “experts” have to say about the nominated movies. Keep in mind that the panel took place before the actual event.
