It is just me or are the Oscars decidedly not interesting this year? Could be because there weren’t really any fantastic movies this year. At least none that I saw that I really, really got interested in. Last year was fabulous with the “Lord of the Rings” and all. I know a lot of people found them winning *everything* to be anti-climactic, but I love it when it’s a movie I care about. ;) Titanic is another example. But this year?
I dunno. The only film nominated for Best Picture that I’ve seen is “Finding Neverland.” And while it was good, don’t get me wrong, I think it was a tad overrated and I don’t think it’ll stand a chance of winning. I’m placing my money on “Million Dollar Baby”. I *do* have an opinion about Best Animated Feature. Because naturally not only have I see all of those films, I saw them opening weekend, thankyouverymuch. Yes, I *do* have a five year old. How did you know??
I’d like to see “Shrek 2″ get the award because I enjoyed it so, but I think it’ll go to “The Incredibles.” It was good but I laughed more at “Shrek 2″. So if it wins, no biggie. I know it probably is the better film anyhow. Hey, as long as “Shark Tale” gets snubbed, I’ll be a happy girl.
Want more predictions? Hmm…I’m gonna say Jamie Foxx for Actor, Hilary Swank for Actress, Thomas Haden Church for Supporting Actor, Virginia Madsen for Supporting Actress and Directing will go to Martin Scorsese. That’s my predictions and I’m sticking to ‘em.
Hey, if I get more of my winner guesses right than K, I get to pick the next place we eat out. Woo hoo! That Red Lobster “Lobster Lover’s Dream” commercial has been seriously taunting me. ;)
This is me. I'm a thirtysomething stay at home mom to three kids. For years I was a stay at home mom to one kid and trying very hard to have more. It took a LONG time (ie: 6 1/2 years), but finally Liam arrived and charmed us with his blue eyes and ginormous, round head. Then we got a shock: I was pregnant again and this time it was a GIRL. Our hearts and home are full at last and now that we're done having babies, we get to relax (snort) and watch them grow (not too fast now, you hear?). Thanks for coming by, feel free to dip into my archives, read my About and History pages (just don't do Jackson's Story without tissues!) and make yourself at home.
