I'm pulling for The Help! How about you?
Frank Baker, formerly of Orange County Schools, is a leading authority on media literacy. He offers lots of tips for using movies to help students become more critical thinkers and to see beyond the hype.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science, sponsors of the Oscars, offers some great tools for teachers. And you can find lots of resources and lesson plans for teaching about movies and teaching with movies.
Edutopia has a list of Oscar Inspired Lessons--from student filmmaking, to movies every teacher should see, to digital storytelling (which you'll be doing after spring break--or maybe during?) to an interview with Martin Scorsese.
Like I said, I'm pulling for Hugo.
OK, OK so I can't decide. I'm just going to enjoy the evening. I hope you have your assignments wrapped up so you can enjoy the event, too.
See you at the after party!
