Here’s a very nice mention on a very hip blog from Paper Magazine. It was written by a recurring panelist on our LA show, Ann Magnuson.

There’s a good lesson in there… How to become a recurring panelist.

A look back at the Oscars… Check out my final post on the Yahoo! Movies Oscar Blog, posted today and up for, oh, I’d say about 11 months.
