Let it be stated for the record that Juno is not worthy of an Oscar or the rave reviews it has received. It is, at best, a three-star comedy with an overly quirky main character of no other substance than her punchlines, a romance nearly inexplicable and a heartwarming ending merely annoying in all its warmth.
On the plus side: good music (including my favourite Belle&Sebastian song).
In addition to the occasional movie, I've been reading a melodramatic Canadian novel which has more teenage pregnancies than any ex-stripper could come up with in a single screenplay, listening to Carla Bruni's (now wife to the French President) No Promises, an album of British and American poetry composed to music which is actually quite good.
