link rundown (3/3/11)

Well it's only fitting that, following the biggest week in Hollywood, the film blogosphere would be trotting out their best material for your perusal.  So let's take a gander at some of the wares being sold by our favorite bloggers.  Jose at Movies Kick Ass has written a phenomenal piece on "the other Best Actress curse," and the facts are frankly a little disheartening - Gloria Steinem would not be proud.  Also concerning Oscar, Tom at Reinvention offers up his final assessment of the night that was, while others cite the fashions of the evening - Nathaniel comments on the gals and guys, while Jose gives his complete rundown of the best-dressed women (thanks for the shout-out!) ... And a few more gems regarding the big night - Guy Lodge at In Contention cites a new example of women breaking Oscar's barriers (they've also provided a helpful laundry list of interviews with the night's winners), and Kate Winslet weighs in on her unexpected Melissa Leo shout-out over at Awards Daily.

Lastly, it's that time of year when we move on from Oscar mania and start discussing other topics.  Robert begins his movie-watching freedom by visiting Black Narcissus.  Anomalous Material provides an exhaustive list of the 52 most iconic uses of pop music in movies - a fun read.  Andrew takes us all down a notch with a list of notable movie deaths.  And Dan at Top10Films provides a very unique list of the best films set in one day and set in one night.
