HBT: Plan your ‘Moneyball’ Oscars party now!

Filed in heightenedTags: , ,

?Moneyball? was nominated for several Academy Awards, and over at the website Buzzsugar, they give some advice on how to throw a ?Moneyball?-themed Oscar party.

The upshot:

  • Serve beer and peanuts!
  • Wear baseball jerseys!
  • Decorate the room with gloves, caps and memorabilia!

I wonder what these captains obvious suggested when ?Revolutionary Road? was nominated. That would have been a party!

I shouldn?t snark at them, though. At least they?re positive. More positive than my sabermetrician friends and I. Our plans for rallying around ?Moneyball? on Oscar night: making arguments about how box office gross is a far better indicator of movie quality than actually winning the Best Picture Oscar due to the larger sample size of the ticket-buying public compared to the Academy.

Take that, ?The Artist!?
