The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is the world’s preeminent movie-related organization, with a membership of more than 6,000 of the most accomplished men and women working in cinema. In addition to the annual Academy Awards – in which the members vote to select the nominees and winners – the Academy:

• presents a diverse year-round slate of public programs, exhibitions and events;
• provides financial support to a wide range of other movie-related organizations and endeavors;
• acts as a neutral advocate in the advancement of motion picture technology;
• and, through its Margaret Herrick Library and Academy Film Archive, collects, preserves, restores and provides access to movies and items related to their history.

Through these and other activities the Academy serves students, historians, the entertainment industry and people everywhere who love movies.

The Academy has recently released the list of Animated Features, three of which will be chosen to go on to the big show. 14 films have been submitted for consideration in the Animated Feature Film category for the 81st Academy Awards. Here is the complete list, including official trailers I found on YouTube:

1)Bolt

2)Delgo

3)Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears A Who!

4)Dragon Hunters

5)Fly Me To The Moon

6)Igor

7)Kung Fu Panda

8)Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa

9)The Sky Crawlers

10)Sword Of The Stranger

11)The Tale Of Despereaux

12)WALL-E

13)Waltz With Bashir

14)$9.99 - I wasn’t able to find a trailer for this one, but here is some info on it.

I consider this nomination to be of a big importance, because animated movies is what our children love to watch and they greatly contribute to the way the kids interpret the real world. Anyway, enjoy watching trailers and choose something for yourself & your kids.

A woman living in Australia, Blossom Goodchild, says that representatives of the “Federation of Light” contacted her via mental telepathy to communicate about the Oct. 14 event. Some people think, Goodchild’s claims are highly questionable or even ridiculous. Others may find themselves believing or hoping that such a development occurs. I was trying to find some videos with her, because the best way to find out if a person lies or not is to see him live. And can’t tell you the extent of my surprise when I found that no video on YouTube related either to her or to 10/14/08 is available!

You go to YouTube, enter “Blossom Goodchild” or “10/14/08” in the search field, press the button and find out that no video related to these topics is available! I can’t say I’m a very suspicious person, but this fact makes me feel that something is being hidden from me! Did aliens steal all the videos? Or does the government try to hide something from us? That is the question!

According to Goodchild, the craft will present itself so that it can be seen and demonstrate to humans that other beings exist and are visiting Earth. She says they will be visible for three days and that they come in peace and love. Goodchild has clarified one point of the message she claims to have received. The beings contacting her gave her the word “Alabama.” But she says they did not explicitly say that would be the location of the large craft’s appearance. Goodchildstates that they told her, “We give to you the name of Alabama.” Goodchild states that the messages she received from the Federation of Light seemed to indicate that the large craft would be seen in the “southern hemisphere” of Earth. Obviously, the state of Alabama is in the northern hemisphere. Interestingly, she says they told her in response to her question about this, “In days of old, it used to be.”

So, according to this strange woman, today is the day for all of us to remember.

Another source, probably based on Goodchild’s words is the blog “10-14-08: The Prediction That Will Change Humanity” by name, also tells us about the today’s contact. And suggests to watch the sky intensely careful.

I was lucky to come across this video, shot in December 2006 in Alabama. There can be seen some strange blurry object hovering in the sky. So, this is how it was in 2006. What shall we expect this time then?

Anyway, please have your camera with you today wherever you go. And don’t even try to upload your UFO videos on YouTube. They won’t show them anyway.

We are all very excited about the upcoming elections. The candidates are doing their best which must be not that easy… I was a bit shocked with the amount of parodies I happened to come across on YouTube, while searching for some videos with them… Here is a compilation of the best parodies on the web:

Obama Girl vs McCain Girl Olympics Part 1:

The video entitled: “Is McCain Palin’s Bitch?“… Probably, the most evil parodie:

One more for obama: “Obama’s Secret Lover”

And offcourse, Matt Groening couldn’t stay away:

Well… Good luck to the candidates!
