Oscar Buzz!



So here's the deal. People have office pools for the Oscars and they want my professional opinion. Done and done. Not only am I a movie buff, I know how these saps think. I thought about listing all the nominations and picking my winner. That is too much typing for something so trivial. So let's blow this bridge up. 

Art Direction: Benjamin Button. They love what they did with Brad Pitt. 

Animated Feature Film: Wall-E. Get off me. Part R2D2, part Johnny 5? That's an unreal combo.

Cinematography: It should be Dark Knight. You know what, I'm going to stick with that story. Dark Knight.

Costume Design: Benjamin Button. The only thing better then Brad Pitt in costume is Brad Pitt out of costume. Boom, wam, zing!

Directing: Slumdog Millionaire. Didn't see it. Don't want to see it. I did hear this though. "If it was set in America and not a far off land, it would be a charming movie and that's it." 

Original Screenplay: Milk. We love Sean Penn! Obamaaaaa!!!!!

Supporting Actor: Heath Ledger. Just think of the first time you saw Dark Knight. You had no idea what he was going to do or who he was going to do it to. The first time you saw the pencil trick you almost crapped your pants. Awesome.

Supporting Actress: I'm going with the dark horse Marisa Tomei! My Cousin Vinny was sweet. This has nothing to do with the fact she was topless in the movie. No, I'm serious. If you don't want to roll the dice, go with Penelope Cruz. 

Best Actor: Mickey Rourke! Do it Mickey! Dedicate the award to your dead dog! Do it! Do it!!!!!!!

Best Actress: I want to say Anne Hathaway because I kind of look like her low life ex-boyfriend. So I thought I had a shot with her. But this is going to the cagey veteran Meryl Streep. Like the steroid scandal, she just won't go away!

Best Picture: Slumdog Millionaire! Didn't see it. Don't want to see it. I know I said that already. Thought I would drive that point home twice. When was the last time we had like a legit best picture? Lord of the Rings? No Country for Old Men was great, but it was a little low budget and I still can't figure out why Tommy Lee Jones was in the movie. They should have nominated the Dark Knight just for some buzz. Not to mention, it's one of the darkest movies in a while. Oh yeah. It had Batman in it. That's got my write in vote!
