I am so Nostradamus
Shut up, I am!
OK, can I just say that I'm pretty
good?
Let's review my picks with what
actually
happened:
Picture
• Me: Brokeback, Capote, Crash, Good Night,
and Good Luck, Walk the Line
• Real: Brokeback, Capote, Crash, Good Night,
and Good Luck, Munich
I am a bit
surprised that Walk the Line didn't make it, especially since both Joaquin and
Reese got noms.
Actor
• Me: Hoffman, Howard, Ledger, Phoenix,
Straitharn
• Real: Hoffman, Howard, Ledger, Phoenix,
Straitharn
Yessssssssssssssssss!
Actress
• Me: Dench, Huffman, Knightley, Theron,
Witherspoon
• Real: Dench, Huffman, Knightley, Theron,
Witherspoon
Seriously: I rock; few were
predicting KK, but I came through for
her.
Supporting
Actress
• Me: Bello, Johansson, Keener, Weisz,
Williams.
• Real: Adams, Keener, McDormand, Weisz,
Williams
Not wholly surprised by the
snubs of Johansson and Bello, but am surprised a bit that the Academy recognized
Junebug via Adams—one of those nominations where the actors really carried
the day and supported a disregarded film. McDormand is an Academy favorite, but
I hadn't heard anything about her getting a
nom
Supporting Actor
• Me: Clooney, Cheadle, Dillon, Giamatti,
Gyllenhaal
• Real: Clooney, Dillon, Giamatti,
Gyllenhaal, Hurt
Again, I'm not exactly
surprised Cheadle didn't get it, but am surprised Hurt did: another out of the
blue nom, to me. I guess the History of Violence DVD push
helped!
I watched the pre-game on E! and
there is an absolute idiot person named Leo Quinones commenting; my mission is
to get him fired. He was just dumb and cheesy…and wrong…he picked
Zhang, whom everyone knew wouldn't get a nom.
Puh-leeze.
A certain someone at school
asked me why the hell I care. Oh, because I like movies, and because I like
playing games like this, and I like being right. Why not?
