Joanna and I normally attend an Oscar viewing at a local theater, but it came up last night at dinner to host our own rotating Academy Award Best Picture marathon. I said I would put together some ideas on the order in which we view the films and here they are.
I personally think Options A and C are the two best and would likely lean toward Option C as my vote since the timing matches the closest for all three days.
Option A:
Danny’s House:
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close – (129 minutes) 9/11 drama
The Artist – (100 minutes) French black & white silent romantic comedy/drama
Moneyball – (133 minutes) sports drama
362 total minutes of viewing
Matt’s House:
War Horse – (146 minutes) war epic
Midnights in Paris – (94 minutes) romantic comedy
Hugo – (128 minutes) adventure
368 total minutes of viewing
Mystery House:
The Help – (146 minutes) Civil Rights drama
The Tree of Life – (139 minutes) non-linear narrative experimentation drama
The Descendants – (115 minutes) family drama
400 total minutes of viewing
Option B:
Danny’s House:
The Descendants – (115 minutes) family drama
The Tree of Life – (139 minutes) experimental drama
Moneyball – (133 minutes) sports drama
387 total minutes of viewing
Matt’s House:
War Horse – (146 minutes) war epic
The Artist – (100 minutes) French black & white silent romantic comedy/drama
Hugo – (128 minutes) adventure
374 total minutes of viewing
Mystery House:
Midnights in Paris – (94 minutes) romantic comedy
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close – (129 minutes) 9/11 drama
The Help – (146 minutes) Civil Rights drama
369 total minutes of viewing
Option C:
Danny’s House:
The Help – (146 minutes) Civil Rights drama
The Artist – (100 minutes) French black & white silent romantic comedy/drama
Moneyball – (133 minutes) sports drama
379 total minutes of viewing
Matt’s House:

Danny, Brandy, and Joanna, let me know what you think and we can iron out any details.

I'm fine with either option.. but see email I sent you...
Now the important questions:
Who is the mystery house?
Who is planning the food?
I assume we are talking 3 houses and only 3 couples? It can get crowded if we add more guests, and keep in mind, my room only has 7 seats.
I like any of the options because I can sleep at my house and those choices are the ones I don't really care to see!!
As far as the food. Danny-we always do Oscar themed food at the watching party (of the Oscars) so...do we just want the host home to provide a few snacks and then we go eat at the end of the movie experience??? Or we can brown bag ourselves? Or the host can choose what they want or provide food based on their choices. I am up for anything but we have to decide soon as we really need to get this going next weekend.
