There's still some tix left for Wednesday night's 7:30 p.m. SIFF benefit screening of Doubt, starring Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, and Viola Davis--all of whom have a shot at Academy Award nominations this year. This is your chance to see John Patrick Shanley's screen version of his Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning play before it hits theaters later this month. It's about the Catholic church sex scandal, as viewed through the prisms of morality, truth, fear, faith, discipline, etc. We are as excited as one can be about such things. But seriously, the movie's got Oscar written all over it. Tickets are $12 with proceeds benefiting SIFF.

Continuing on our quest to catch up on the Oscar-nominated films, Seattlest went last night to see Capote, playing at the Harvard Exit (and now, thanks to Oscar-inspired wider release, also in Kirkland). We stopped along the way at Bailey/Coy to buy the book the movie's more or less about, which we haven't read, and scowled at the ratfink Now, a Major Motion Picture! sticker, announcing that we never got around to reading until the movie came out.
