TV

The 82nd Annual Academy Awards
aka the Oscars, of course. I bought Sky Movies for a month specially for this, donchaknow (ancillary benefits and all that: lots of movies for the next month).
Agree with most of the winners, without actually having seen most of the films. Shame for us Brits though.

Five Days
2x04 Day 37
One month on and, let's be honest, it may as well be not so long at all. Not as huge as the leap forwards for the final part though...
One thing that's quite interesting about this series, incidentally, is how grounded in the real world it is: these are real dates, not just days that are only significant within the context of the story (episode 2 revealed in background detail that Day 1 was July 30th; this episode is September 4th and specifically set during Ramadan; the final one is Remembrance Day); there's a royal visit, which is the kind of thing that does just happen sometimes -- it's not even a major part of the story, but it's just there.
