Rodriguez Oscar Countdown! What The F&*%^?
Sunday, January 27th, 2013
With the Oscars just around the corner (2/24/13), it’s hard not to be excited. We just can’t wait. We remeber what a trip it was seeing Sixto on 60 Minutes with Bob Simon fanning the flames of Oscar buzz just a couple months ago and now it’s all come true!
It’s been a stellar year for the Sugar Man. It’s gonna be pretty hard to keep the F bombs to a minimum from our side of the TV when things go down, hopefully Malick and Sixto can keep it classy.
But… ya never know!
