A COUPLE OF BLOG CHANGES

While re-examining why I decided to start this blog it occurred to me the only thing I really cared to dissect was films’ Oscar chances, including festival buzz, and the politics behind them.  So in an effort to reduce the strain of research I do for my reviews as well as to focus on what I am most passionate about I am changing my blog’s format.  Instead of reviewing each film for overall quality, structure, and technique I will give a brief synopsis of each film I see and then dive headfirst into Oscar info.  In conjunction I have also changed the name of the blog to…The Sealed Envelope: Case Closed Oscar Blog.  The new web address is thesealedenvelope.blogspot.com

In addition, leading up to major award ceremonies and festivals (Golden Globes, SAG, Sundance, Cannes, ect.) I will post information about predictions and major news.  I will also severely limit my posts from after the Oscar ceremony in February until “Oscar season” picks back up towards the end of the summer with TIFF and Telluride.  Due to the lack of quality films released between February and the beginning of summer (blockbuster season) I thought it would be quite a boring and strenuous task to find review/post worthy material throughout the timeframe.  However if something Oscar relevant does surface I will be sure to post it.

Hope everyone enjoys the new look!
