And the oscar goes to...

How could I not post my predicted winners for this evening's award show. Unfortunately, I missed quite a few of the films being nominated but am going to get to them now that they are on DVD. I did catch the first five minutes of The Last King of Scotland on our plane to Utah. So here we go! Please note, these are the nominees that I think will win, not neccessarily those that I want to win.

ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE: FOREST WHITAKER (I'm sad to say that I didn't see any of the films in this category) but Forest has been the talk of the town and has some great buzz.

ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE: EDDIE MURPHY- There could be a surprise in this race though.

ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE: HELEN MIRREN

ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE: JENNIFER HUDSON

ANIMATED FEATURE: HAPPY FEET- I disagree with this as I think Monster House was a million times better than Happy Feet.

ART DIRECTION: PAN's LABYRINTH

CINEMATOGRAPHY: Children of men

COSTUME DESIGN: DREAMGIRLS

DIRECTING: MARTY SCORSESE

DOCUMENTARY FEATURE: AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH-

DOCUMENTARY SHORT: TWO HANDS

FILM EDITING: BABEL

FOREIGN FILM: Pan's Labyrinth

Makeup: Pan's Labyrinth

Music (score): The Queen

Music (song) : Listen from Dreamgirls

Best Picture: Any of the films nominated could take this one. I'm rooting for The Departed and Martin Scorsese this year.

Short Film animated: The Little Matchgirl

Short Film Live Action: Binta and the great idea

Sound Editing: Letters From Iwo Jima

Sound Mixing: Dreamgirls

Visual Effects: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Writing (Adapted Screenplay): The Departed

Writing (original screenplay) : Little Miss Sunshine


I hate picking winners as I usually don't agree with those chosen. We shall see what happens tonight. It's supposed to snow here 3-5 inches tonight. Anyone want to meet up for KFC/Taco Bell tomorrow for lunch? I just heard the CEO say they are changing the name to KFR.

You were about 50-50 on your picks. Not bad though. While I didn't see Dreamgirls, do you think Jennifer Hudson deserved the win?

I didn't see Dreamgirls either and while Jennifer Hudson she can sing, I'm not sure she can act. The look on Beyonce's face was priceless when the two were singing side by side last night.
