The Oscars aftermath

I totally rock. I guessed everything right, and that makes me happy for being right but also makes me happy because the right stuff won. HUZZAH!

So far so good

In anticipation for the Oscars (with the fall of pirate bay I was behind and didn't get to watch anything before the globes), I have now seen several nominated or potentially nominated films, and I have been pleasantly surprised. Last year, most of the movies were, for lack of a better word, dull. Yes, Into the Woods was weird and boring, but some of the others have been fantastic. And don't get me wrong, I love musicals as much as the next person - actually, I love musicals more than the next person. Rent , Chicago, Cats , Phantom, Book of Mormon, you name it, I usually love it. But Into the Woods was just bizarre. I saw a televised stage production of it with Bernadette Peters in college and loved it, so I assumed the movie would be that much better. But apparently college me was stupid and thought the songs were good when they were actually terrible. Sondheim rules, but not this time - the lyrics are ridiculous and sound like a third grader wrote them. And I'm telling ...

Ugh.

As you all know, I have been trying to see all the films nominated for Golden Globes this year before the actual ceremony. This will be awesome because I will have seen almost all of the movies that are also nominated for Oscars. The Globes are on Sunday, and I will not be able to see all the movies, and here’s why. First of all, Crazy Heart, A Single Man, and A Serious Man all were limited releases (i.e. NOT in Dayton, Ohio) that came out in December and January. Thus, their DVD releases won’t be until later this year, and their downloads are VERY hard to find. The Last Station and The Lovely Bones don’t even come out in theatres until January 15th, and the Globes are on the 17th! Insane. Just because the voters get special screening copies doesn’t mean regular people don’t want to see the movies. Seriously. Ugh.

Initial Oscar Predictions

Again, these are preliminary, as I have yet to see all the films. - Best Picture: I assume that The Social Network will win, and I hate that there are 10 nominated films. It won't be The Fighter , Inception , The Kids Are All Right , Toy Story 3 . Other than that, I figure Black Swan is in the running, but like I said before - Natalie Portman was awesome in it, but it wasn't the greatest movie overall, you know? So at the moment, I'm sticking with Jesse Eisenberg and Aaron Sorkin. - Best Performance by a Leading Actor: I need to watch The King's Speech , because I bet he's great in it. I also love that Jeff Bridges is nominated again, but he probably won't win. So far the only nominated movie I've seen is The Social Network , and there's no way Jesse Eisenberg is getting the win. For now I say Colin Firth, basing the decision on nothing. :) - Best Performance by a Leading Actress: This is clearly between Annette Bening and Natalie Portman, and I personal...
