Oscar Predictions 2011

-
Okay, so I have decided that I don't care about the Academy Awards this year because, in my opinion, none of the movies are worth me caring about. So, instead of predicting who I think will win, I think I'm going to list the movies that will make me mad if they win. Much more fun! To be fair to some of the films, I haven't seen them, so I won't include those in my "ugh" predictions. I got irritated with the films I actually saw so I stopped watching. I will also not be blogging live during the show, but will have a post-Oscars blog that I'm sure you will read. :) Here goes!

Best Picture - The Fighter. This movie was not worth all the hype. If it wins, that would be a travesty. I am honestly pulling for Toy Story 3 and Black Swan, but I think everyone thinks it'll be The Social Network, which is whatever. Just not Mark Wahlberg.

Best Actor - NOT Jesse Eisenberg because he was okay but really irritating. I am excited to see The King's Speech because I assume Colin Firth will win for it, but I'm secretly pulling for Jeff Bridges.

Best Actress - I will be mad if anyone but Annette Bening or Natalie Portman win because they are great and everyone else is terrible.

Best Supporting Actor - NOT Jeremy Renner and definitely not Mark Ruffalo (I bet Christian Bale wins because he was amazing in that movie even though the movie itself was really bad)

Best Supporting Actress - NOT Amy Adams and not Helena Bonham Carter.

Animated - NOT The Illusionist. Both of the others were excellent and both of them made me cry.

Writing - If Aaron Sorkin doesn't win, I will be upset. But not THAT upset because the script wasn't really that good, but I love Aaron Sorkin, so I don't care.


So there you go. I am less than enthused about the show this year, so I hope it isn't horrible.

500 Days of Summer

I have never been a huge fan of quirky comedies (a good example is Juno and movies like it) because they make me irritated. They make me irritated because it’s quirky-ness for the sake of quirky-ness. I can’t really explain it any better than that and I’m not going to try. As a result, I knew this movie wasn’t really for me, but it was on the list of nominees, so I’m watching it right now. So far, I don’t like it. Joseph Gorden-Lewitt, otherwise known as the obnoxious kid from 3rd Rock From the Sun, is the lead male in this film, and he always looks really tired and isn’t a good actor. Like, at all. He also isn’t funny and this is supposed to be a comedy. Zooey Deschanel, however, is adorable. I’ve always liked her, even if I didn’t like the film. This movie is about their relationship and, apparently, the 500 days they were together. Of course, because it’s a quirky comedy, the days aren’t particularly sequential. There’s a scene, then a black screen with “Day 71″ or something and the...

No more podcast

My podcast no longer exists. I was using the Opinion app to record and publish my podcast, and they are closing down the app, which is a huge bummer because all of the other free options for hosting are, for lack of a better word, crappy. So I'm over it for now and will try to blog more. Speaking of which, I have now quit The Orville , Me Myself & I , and The Good Doctor . I have picked up Mom , inexplicably, and am watching all the old seasons of Will & Grace . The new one was funny but just not relevant anymore. I worry that's what will happen with new Roseanne  too, and that bums me out. I just want a really awesome show that is funny and dramatic and interesting. I want another LOST  that doesn't make horrible mistakes and end up in purgatory. I want another Terra Nova  that doesn't get canceled after one season. I want a new Gilmore Girls , Friday Night Lights  Season 1, Frasier , or something that actually makes me excited to watch it every...

Podcast returns!

My podcast will return. All the credit goes to my high school bestie Justin, who convinced me to start it up again. I'm currently trying out Anchor, which already is more fun than the app I used before, and so far is free. Even if it isn't, I think the cost is worth the fun. Topics welcome, but the first podcast will cover the Roseanne reboot, and whatever else I can think of at the moment. Podcasts are super fun. Still trying to figure out if I'm actually allowed to add music to it or not and if it has to be free. This app lets me add whatever I want from Spotify and I'm not sure that's okay. Anyway, I'm excited to start it up again. Starting to finally get out of my Hillary funk and back to the real world. That depression was legit.
