OSCARS
This year, I was a bad Oscars viewer as I had seen NONE of the movies nominated, except The Dark Knight, and that doesn’t really count anyway. Still, just like every year, I made my predictions based on buzz about the movies, other awards they won, and how much I wanted to see them. Turns out, I know what I’m talking about a lot more when I have no idea what I’m talking about. I successfully predicted: - best picture (slumdog millionaire) - best actor (sean penn) - best actress (kate winslet) - best supporting actress (penelope cruz) - best supporting actor (heath ledger) - best director (slumdog millionaire) - best adapted screenplay (slumdog millionaire) - best makeup (benjamin button) - best original score (slumdog millionaire) - best sound editing (the dark knight) - best animated film (wall-e) that’s pretty good. so out of 24 major awards, I successfully predicted 11, and I got all the awards anyone cares about, so I am totally awesome. Woo!!!!
