Post: Dealing With Oscar Hype
Dealing With Oscar Hype
This Sunday's Academy Awards is sure to have some memorable moments. But how do you deal with the hype, from the non-stop fashion review of hits and misses to your kids' interest in seeing the award winners?
Don't sweat it. At Common Sense Media, we've got guidance.
Check out our recommended list of nominated films to get a sense of the age appropriateness. Hint: Just because it's animated, doesn't mean it's right for your littlest ones. And another tip: Any movie featuring Jack Nicholson is probably best for adults.
We've also produced a discussion guide for award shows that you should check out before Sunday's ceremony. These questions are designed to get families thinking -- and talking -- about everything from the commercialization of the shows to why women are under so much more fashion scrutiny than men.
Just want to rehash the show, or talk about your favorite films of the year (whether or not it was nominated)? Feel free to post your comments right here on our blog.
The Oscars are live on ABC this Sunday, February 25 at 5 PT/ 8 ET. Click here for a complete list of nominees
