I Want To Thank the Academy...

Well, folks, were are full on into awards season. Have you seen the movies? I have seen almost all of them.

Up for an Oscar for Best Picture:

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Frost/Nixon

Milk

The Reader

Slumdog Millionaire

My vote is Slumdog, although Frost/Nixon made the decision difficult. Best Actor is harder to predict. Frank Langella was very good as Nixon but you can't count out Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler. I'm sure you are surprised that I saw The Wrestler. I was too but it was a very good movie.

As for Best Actress I wont even attempt. I haven't seen Rachel Getting Married or Frozen River. I'm not a fan of Anne Hathaway and I've never heard of Melissa Leo.

Supporting Actor and Actress never interested me but I bet Heath Ledger gets it for Actor. Robert Downey, Jr. did a fantastic job too so I think they should have a category this year for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy and Best Supporting Actor in the Creepiest Role Ever. Marissa Tomei should win for Supporting Actress just for appearing naked (not pretty!).

The rest of the awards are so subjective that I would never speculate. You know Wall-E will win for Animated Film. I haven't seen it because I didn't think it could keep my attention but the more I hear about it the more I want to see it. Hopefully I can before awards night, you know, with all the gown fittings and jewelry choices.

See you at the movies!
