The L.A. Times had an interesting article by Chris Lee today called "The Twitter Effect on the Oscars".It talks about how Sandra Bulllock's husband, Jesse James has been tweeting about her Oscar nomination and all the awards she has been winning for her appearance in The Blind Side. Some people, like the writer of Up in the Air has tweeted his way into the Oscars, which he was not invited to for some reason.It's amazing that 140-character reviews can make or break an actor's chance of getting the biggest award in the film industry.  So many actors Read More
