Were you rooting for Kate Winslet's Best Actress win on Sunday because you loved her in The Holiday? C'mon, mamas and dads; you'd have gotten a lot more out of watching the Oscars than a renewed interest in working out if you'd been up on the nominated films.
We're right there with you, forgoing movie dates in lieu of the opportunity for rare extended conversations with our spouse and zonking out during Netflix attempts after long days of library-park ritual. Let's remember one friendly neighborhood arthouse theater's offer to bring our spritely youngsters to first-run films, played on low volume in dim lighting with a changing table just a few rows away.
