Well, that was a mouthful. I’m predicting Judi Dench to be the big surprise of the morning. I’m in kind of a hurry because my mom wants me to go to sleep. But how can I sleep on a night like this? It almost makes me want to.. sing

One day more!
Another day, another destiny.
The oscars are a road to Calvary;
These men who seem to know movies
How come they can never see?
One day more!

I did not know until today.
The feeling it has not yet started.
(One day more.)
The nominees seem worlds away
Yet they will leave some broken hearted!

One more day all on my own.
(Will we ever fully know?)
One more day with some not caring.
(I was born loving these films.)
What a life I might have known.
(I am nervous, how are you?)
If I fell for sports instead!

One more day before the storm!
(Do I go where critics go?)
Every film deserves some glory.
(At the worry of my cred?)
When our ranks begin to form
(Do I stay; and do I dare?)
Will you take your place with me?

The time is now, the day is here

One day more!

One day more to nominations,
We will nip it in the bud!
We’ll be ready for naysayers,
They will wet themselves with blood!

One day more!

Argo you must see
Lincoln is a lock,
Amour is a bore, what about Hitchcock?
Zero Dark Thirty
I’ve decided is a ‘no’.
And not because my dear old mother told me so!

One day to a new beginning
(We’ll be there on Oscar night!)
Every winner is a king
(Every winner is a king)
There’s a new world for the winning
(There’s a new world to be won)
Do you hear the people sing?

My place is here, I fight with you!

One day more!

Tomorrow we’ll be far away,
Tomorrow is the judgement day

Tomorrow we’ll discover
What the Oscars have in store!

One more dawn
One more day
One day more!
