The Oscars® Snubs Blogathon Roll Call

The Oscars® Snubs Blogathon is here!  Keep checking back over the weekend.  I will update the roll as I get the links and find the time to add them.  (Keep in mind I'm a working man and have to work all day Friday!)  Thanks to all who participated in this, and I hope you enjoyed yourselves.  Once again, thanks to the ladies at Silver Scenes who helped me co-host this blog.
