I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® - Original Soft Spread

Toast to the Red Carpet – LIVE, presented by I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! is inviting movie fans to an online red carpet viewing party, complete with an exclusive roundtable of Hollywood stars, and best picture-themed recipes for your own home viewing party. It will be streaming live on the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! Facebook page on February 26 from 3:00-4:30 PST.

 

I love the Academy Awards, it is one of the few awards shows that the West Coast gets live and unspoiled.  I am lacking in my Annual Best Picture post because there are two movies I haven’t seen yet, Hugo and tree of Life.  Hoping to rectify that this week before the telecast.  At this point it is a toss up for me.  I think there were a lot of “good” films this year, but nothing has stood out as “best picture” for me, yet.  But all of this will be covered when I finally get around to that post.

Back to the point of this post, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! is also offering one of you lovely readers with a FREE tub of their yummy product!  All you have to do is leave a comment below telling us why you are going to watch the Toast to the Red Carpet – LIVE online show and interact during the Toast to the Red Carpet – LIVE online show on the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Facebook page.  It’s that simple.  A winner will be chosen on Sunday, February 26 during the Oscar telecast, using Random.org and that winner will receive a coupon for the free tub of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! in the mail.

My favorite thing to eat while watching award shows is the same thing I love to eat at the movies – POPCORN!  But at home I get to play with the recipe a bit.  Instead of plain old butter on my popcorn, I like to mix in some parmesan cheese or italian seasoning.  Makes for a scrumptious bite every time!

Giveaway coupon is being provided by I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter! just in case the FTC was wondering and checking their guidelines and what not.

A silent movie in 2011?  Who’d have thunk?  Not me that’s for sure, but I am certainly glad that someone did.

A silent film star faces the reality that “talkies” are coming but can’t bring himself to lower to that level.  Amazing acting, although kinda cheesy in this day and age because of the “overacting’ and “mugging” nature of silent films.

It was a little hard to watch at home on DVD because you have to pay attention.  I don’t pay attention well at home with the computer and magazines, and toys needing to be picked up distracting me.

I definitely recommend you run out and see this in a theater while you still have a chance.

Would I vote for it to be Best Picture?  No.  But it is still a really good film.
