Los Oscars..

The message signal was blinking..."Hi this is Stan. Gabriel asked me to check on the Oscars for you. He said you wanted to watch them in English. I saw a promo on Corrientes that said they would be aired on TNT. I don't know if that is in English. I posted a message on Craigs List to see if someone knows more. There has to be an Expats bar around that is showing them. Call me."

So you wonder, if she watched the Super Bowl in Spanish why can't she watch the Oscars in Spanish. I mean WHAT is with her, she is so into this immersion thing. Well let me tell you, it is a totally different experience. Been there, done that!

Last year I made a big deal out of it....had some people at my place...served Malbec. (Yes, I can get TNT on my cable.) We were ready. The read carpet appears and seconds into the dialog in English it is dubbed. That's right...no subtitles...The Oscars were dubbed in Spanish. This was impossible...neither the English nor the Spanish were clear. Even the Argentine in the group had trouble. Can you imagine Jon Stewart speaking Spanish?

Ok, Craigs List...show me what you got. My mission this weekend ... a location to view Los Oscars in English.
