    Congrats to Argentina on winning the Oscar last night! I'm heading to Buenos Aires on Sunday -- anyone have any tips on what's new and exciting?
    In addition, the Academy Awards got me thinking of my favorite Argentina-themed movies, and I've listed them on my blog below. Anyone have additional recommendations for movies to get me in the mood for Argentina?
