A little bit of Oscar Blather
Mood:  cool
Now Playing: Its Oscar Time
Topic: Oh happy day!

Tonight is the Oscars, one of my favorite awards shows to watch. Ellen Degeneres is hosting, so I probably wont be doing what did last year...fast forwarding the whole thing. My father taped it for me cause I worked that night. Jon Stewart hosted, and I could not care less about watching him. He isnt a good awards show host. Think I'm wrong? Remember when he hosted the Grammys? Do you remember there being another "official host" after the year he did it? I rest my case.

I'm doing Oscar predictions, but admittedly its going to be iffy because.

A. Most top nominees I have not seen.

B. Uh....no wait, I guess thats the only one.

To keep it short and sweet, I will just tell you who I think will win. I can't tell you who I want to win, cause, well see letter A. Plus I'm only going to focus on the big awards.

Best Actor- Forrest Whittacker (is that how you spell it?) Its pretty much a lock. Anyone else winning would be a big surprise.

Best Actress: Aside from maybe minor awards, the only thing "The Queen" will win is best actress for Helen Mirren.

Supporting Actor: Eddie Murphy. But Eddie baby, did you have to have "Norbit"  released so close to the ceremony? It aint that bad, but it aint that great either. Alan Arkin is a close second.

Supporting Actress: Seems to be Jennifer Hudsons year.

Director: Either Martin Scorcese (who has never won) or Clint Eastwood (who has won twice).

Best picture: I have seen Babel (okay), and twenty minutes of the Departed (couldnt stand it). I have not seen Letters From Iwo Jima, Little Miss Sunshine (I have excuse, its even on video now) and The Queen. I think it will be Little Miss Sunshine. No reason, its a crap shoot at this point.

So there we have it, a short but sweet Oscar pick section. Had I seen more of the movies, I might have made a different choice, but you work with what you have.

See you round the net!
