Rooting for a Nun at the Oscars

There aren't many movies on this year's list of nominees for an Oscar that I have seen or intend to see. One that stands out as a must see is the documentary, God Is the Bigger Elvis, which chronicles Dolores Hart's transformation from a Hollywood starlet to a cloistered nun. She will be easy to spot at tonight's Academy Awards, for she will be the only one in a Benedictine habit. The movie premiers in April on HBO.

Mother Dolores Hart is now the Mother Prioress at Abbey of Regina Laudis in Bethlehem, Connecticut. Mother Dolores has also appeared on EWTN  and has been featured on Vocation.com.
