The Oscars are upon us. I must admit that I’m not a very big fan of all these awards shows. There are far too many and now they are just all mixed together. I never really remember which one is which. However, they have become amazing TV productions that are fun to watch. I especially enjoy flipping to these shows during commercials for other shows, but I digress.

I recently was sent an email talking about the Oscar nomination for actor in a leading role of Richard Jenkins. Richard Jenkins really was fantastic in The Visitor and I’m glad to see he was nominated for an Oscar. I’m not sure he’s going to win, but the show was fantastic and Richard Jenkins did a wonderful job portraying the character.

Of course, the best part of The Visitor was actually the music. Check out the music from The Visitor and you’ll see what I mean:
