Liz and I understand… Really. It’s coming down to the wire for the Oscars, and who possibly has time to see all 10 films nominated for Best Picture? Especially when Avatar is 7 hours long! And I don’t even know where A Serious Man is still showing…

Fear not! We can help. In this latest Best Supporting Vlog installment, Liz Dahmen and I offer some handy movie mashups. Yes, you can just combine, District 9 and The Blind Side into one film and save yourself valuable time…

And about the little montage of us in hats? Well, that happened just because… Enjoy!

This is what happens when James Cameron directs “Julie & Julia” maybe?

Oscar nominations were announced last week! And I finally got to see the big blathering, eye-ball-frying epic that is James Cameron’s Avatar. So, yikes: There’s much to discuss in the week’s Best Supporting Vlog!

In this week’s installment, Elizabeth Dahmen and I discuss how James Cameron is truly “the lesbian’s film director,” and we invent our own “avatars.” Plus, we tell you why people REALLY win Oscars.

And yes… There’s some serious puppet action going on. WATCH!!!!

Who would have thought that Sandra Bullock would be a serious contender for an Oscar, like, ever? And who would have thought a low-key film like Up in the Air would get folks so excited about awards-y stuff? So many questions…

Yes, Liz Dahmen and John Polly are back with more Oscar-season discussions. Plus, they give you some fashion forecasting, a re-enactment of a scene (sort of) from Up in the Air, and some ruminations on the acting agility of Sandra Bullock.

And what are the best airport/airplane movies over? “Pardon me Stewardess, I speak jive…”

The Golden Globes always seem kinda crazy to me. TV awards and film awards together? Separate awards for comedy movies and drama movies? It’s loopy! But the big stars always come, so… Who can resist? And at VH1′s movie thingy on Friday, Adam Lambert and Sarah Silverman will present an award together. Huh? YES!

This week, Liz and I discuss two of the year-end big films: The Lovely Bones (based on the blockbuster novel) and A Single Man, the way-gay uber-stylish film by fashion guru Tom Ford. And yes, I’m trying my best to look like Colin Firth. Oy…

Enjoy!!!

The arrival of December and Christmas also means we’re now suddenly in the thick of year-end movie award season insanity. And just like we did last year, NewNowNext is serving up another season (Call it a “sequel!”) of our film and awards-obsessed vlog series, “Best Supporting Vlog.”

Yup, from now until the Oscars take a bow on March 7th, Elizabeth Dahmen and John Polly will offer their near-weekly take on what the hell is going on in the movie-awards world. But first, they hit the lovely gay bar Therapy in New York City’s Hells Kitchen (prime stomping ground for show queens and movie lovers), to ask folks what films they love in 2009.

For every Precious or The Lovely Bones, there’s a Star Trek or Up, so what ends up getting Oscar noms this year is gonna be anybody’s guess.

Watch what unfolds above and check back in the New Year for more “Best Supporting Vlog” madness. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
