In case you missed it, last week, we were joined by Freeheld Director Cynthia Wade LIVE from Los Angeles, on the eve of the Acadamy Awards, and she was great. She sent us some LA warmth, and we sent her some NJ love. And it must have worked, because sure enough - she took home the Oscar.

It's Oscar weekend, and this week on Blue Jersey Radio, we're joined by Freeheld Director Cynthia Wade LIVE from Los Angeles, where she is vying for an Academy Award for her incredible documentary of the Laurel Hester story.
Freeheld chronicles one of the most courageous struggles we have ever witnessed, one that galvanized the progressive GLBT and straight communities in New Jersey.
Alternating from packed public demonstrations at the county courthouse to quiet, tender moments of Laurel and Stacie at home, "Freeheld" combines tension-filled political drama with personal detail, creating a nuanced study of a grassroots fight for justice.
And - special bonus - more than a few faces and names familiar to Blue Jersey appear on screen.
Join us LIVE Saturday morning from 10:30am to 11:00am for a conversation on politics and film, love and money, and all the glitz and glamour of the Oscars. We'll take your calls at:
(646) 652-2773
Whether the Oscar goes to this deserving film, we won't know until Sunday night. But, Laurel will always be a winner in the hearts of New Jersey progressives, as will Director Cynthia Wade for capturing it all.
And, speaking of Sunday night, if you're not already booked, why not join us really really LIVE (and in person) at Garden State Equality's Oscar Party, featuring a Free Screening of Freeheld. It's at 7pm sharp at the South Orange Performing Arts Center, and it promises to be a blast.
This is an open thread: Leave your Oscar predictions in the comments.
