Some of my picks won, some didn't. My picks as reported to Anhaga were:
Best Picture: Letters From Iwo Jima
Best Director: toss up between Scorsese and Eastwood, Clint gets my vote
Actor: Forest Whitaker (though Peter O'Toole may win)
Actress: Helen Mirren
S.Actor: Mark Wahlberg (though Eddie Murphy will probably win, or perhaps Alan Arkin)
S.Actress: Jennifer Hudson
Documentary Feature: An Inconvenient Truth
Foreign Language Film: Pan's Labyrinth
Mind you, I have seen exactly NONE of these movies.
I'm not sorry about Scorsese winning, but he should have won for Raging Bull years ago, and I suspect Eastwood really deserved it this year. Hollywood goes all sentimental some years.
The goddesses Helen Mirren and Meryl Streep were in good form, though Meryl needs to find someone else to pick her dress. Same with Nicole Kidman, that thing that landed on her shoulder should have been shot. Overall, most everyone looked fine.
Ellen was gay whitebread, which I suspect is exactly what was wanted, but it makes you miss Johnny Carson. She had a couple good moments, but this show needs someone who is just a bit less nice, who can be sarcastic without being mean. I'm rooting for Will Ferrell and Jack Black to host next year's show.

If I post one more time and get the warning... YOUR REQUEST COULD NOT BE PROCESSED. PLEASE TRY AGAIN. I will never post again. I am not an anonymous comment blogger. This has happened so many times that I refuse to get frustrated again. Am I the only one that gets this remark when publishing the comment? only to loose everything you put into the comment field? Then the REQUIRED FIELD MUST NOT BE BLANK comment in red? I'll cool down and hope this goes threw... If so.. I may post... MAY post.
ReplyDeleteWell, it so happens that the above silly post published. I was thinking my comments on the Oscars were being edited by the cyber-gods.
ReplyDeleteSo, with that said, the bottom line on my original lost post:
- - Happy Little Miss Sunshine did well. It proves many points on budget.
- - Why do Hollywood awards shows have to be so political? And if so, why does our government still budget like a Hollywood movie set?
- - They are hypocrites. I.e.: Harry Winston's, Little Green car but 20 other non-greens in the garage at their mansion, private planes, slaves (oops I mean minimum wage employees), waste waste wasteful in all their excesses.
- - The Actors guild could afford to get this country GREEN in a minute.
- - Gore shouldn't saddle himself on their bullshit perfumed backs. He's sincere and they are not. (1% are sincere, and one of that handful didn't even show up)
Yes....key dear, I have been having problems trying to post too, which is why I haven't bothered in so long. Must have hit it on a good day, this one appears to have worked.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why you are having problems signing in. Use your Google email account and password and that's it.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the error message goes, I turned off anonymous comments, so you have to log in before you can comment.
As for the Oscars, I couldn't even be entertained enough by the outfits to stay awake. I'm happy to have seen the Jack Black/Will Ferrell number, and I thought the bit with Gore's speech being cut off by the orchestra was fun (too bad he didn't have that sense of humor as a candidate). Otherwise, I don't feel like I missed much.
ReplyDeleteI always sign in with my G-account and there are times when I get that message as I stated above. I wouldn't mind it if it kept my comment and let me try and sign in again, but it deletes it. If this goes threw, then it is just a thing that happens every other time. It does frustrate me though. I'll start to copy my comment just in case so I can just repaste it in the field for the next try. OH, and yeah, those were the BEST skits, agreed, I would be laughing the whole of the night, not just looking for the next giggle.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the problem is with Blogger and not with you.
ReplyDeleteWhen I write posts for The Mote, I use a text program and then copy/paste. That way I don't lose anything. I usually do the same here when I'm posting (but not when I'm commenting).
