Best Film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Frost/Nixon Milk The Reader Slumdog Millionaire
A weak line up here: no 'Che', 'Redacted', 'Last Chance Harvey', 'Hunger', 'Mircale At St. Anna', 'Blindness'. Wake up Hollywood.
WHAT SHOULD WIN: Frost/Nixon WHAT WILL WIN: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Best Foreign Language Film The Baader Meinhof Complex The Class Departures Revanche Waltz with Bashir
Another mixed bag: 'Gammora' made the Italian mafia serious again and should've been nominated '4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days' was also an intense film. One major omission is 'Mongol: The Rise Of Genghis Khan'.
WHAT SHOULD WIN: Waltz with Bashir WHAT WILL WIN: Waltz with Bashir
Israel ought to have been banned from contention. And yet this film, focused on their first invasion of Lebanon in 1982 includes the massacres at Sabra and Shatila and is redeemed by lines like "You took on the role of a Nazi, unwillingly". An insight into PTSD though its all a little too close to home in light of ongoing Israeli crimes in Gaza. Worth seeing, hated the rotoscope animation though.
Best Director The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - David Fincher Frost/Nixon - Ron Howard Milk - Gus Van Sant The Reader - Stephen Daldry Slumdog Millionaire - Danny Boyle
WHO SHOULD WIN: Gus Van Sant WHO WILL WIN: Danny Boyle
Actor In A Leading Role The Visitor - Richard Jenkins Frost/Nixon - Frank Langella Milk - Sean Penn The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Brad Pitt The Wrestler - Mickey Rourke
WHO SHOULD WIN: Frank Langella WHO WILL WIN: Mickey Rourke
Granted, 'W' wasn't a great film but I thought Josh Brolin was a "shoe in" (pun intented) for his pitch perfect performance as the villainous Dubya. Living legend Samuel L. Jackson ought to have got the nod for 'Lakeview Terrace' as well, at least it would go some way to erasing our memories of 'The Spirit'.
Actor In A Supporting Role Milk - Josh Brolin Tropic Thunder - Robert Downey Jr. Doubt - Philip Seymour Hoffman The Dark Knight - Heath Ledger Revolutionary Road - Michael Shannon
Now I like 'Tropic Thunder' as much as the next guy, and Robert Downey Jr. was the funniest actor in it, but this is ridiculous. Don't even try and make it look like a competition: Heath Ledger owns this catergory, and justifiably so.
WHO SHOULD WIN: Heath Ledger WHO WILL WIN: Heath Ledger (just imagine the awkward silence if its someone else)
Actress In A Leading Role Rachel Getting Married - Anne Hathaway Changeling - Angelina Jolie Frozen River - Melissa Leo Doubt - Meryl Streep The Reader - Kate Winslet
WHO SHOULD WIN: Angelina Jolie WHO WILL WIN: Kate Winslet
All deserving ladies: Jolie's got a good chance as she won best supporting a few years ago, Kate has history and Hollywood's love of Sohah business on her side whilst industry legend Meryl Streep doesn't just show up for fun, so its still anyone's game.
Actress In A Supporting Role Doubt - Amy Adams Vicky Cristina Barcelona - Penélope Cruz Doubt - Viola Davis The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Taraji P. Henson The Wrestler - Marisa Tomei
WHO SHOULD WIN: Penélope Cruz WHO WILL WIN: Marisa Tomei
I like Marisa Tomei, she's done some good work recently in 'Before The Devil Knows You're Dead', 'Factotum' and 'War INC', already has her well deserved best supporting gong for 'My Cousin Vinnie' but her performance in 'The Wrestler' was nothing to write home about. Taraji P. Henson is another hugely underrated actress who'll get some long overdue attention here too.
Adapted Screenplay The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Eric Roth, Robin Swicord Doubt - John Patrick Shanley Frost/Nixon - Peter Morgan The Reader - David Hare Slumdog Millionaire - Simon Beaufoy
WHAT SHOULD WIN: Frost/Nixon WHAT WILL WIN: The Reader
Original Screenplay Frozen River - Courtney Hunt Happy-Go-Lucky - Mike Leigh In Bruges - Martin McDonagh Milk - Dustin Lance Black WALL-E - Andrew Stanton, Jim Reardon, Pete Docter
WHAT SHOULD WIN: In Bruges WHAT WILL WIN: Milk
Animated Feature Bolt Kung Fu Panda WALL-E
WHAT SHOULD WIN: I've only seen Kung-Fu Panda out of three. WHAT WILL WIN: A lot of people seemed to like WALL-E.
Art Direction Changeling The Curious Case of Benjamin Button The Dark Knight The Duchess Revolutionary Road
Tough catergory, they're all pretty good. The fanboy's choice is obviously 'Dark Knight', but the others have a lot going for them too.
WHAT SHOULD WIN: No prefrence WHAT WILL WIN: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Cinematography Changeling The Curious Case of Benjamin Button The Dark Knight The Reader Slumdog Millionaire
WHAT SHOULD WIN: The Dark Knight WHAT WILL WIN: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Costume Design Australia The Curious Case of Benjamin Button The Duchess Milk Revolutionary Road
WHAT SHOULD WIN: The Duchess WHAT WILL WIN: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Documentary Feature The Betrayal (Nerakhoon) Encounters at the End of the World The Garden Man on Wire Trouble the Water
No 'Standard Operating Proceedure': Focused on the 'Abu Ghraib' torture scandal it was one of the most powerful documentatires of the year and the Academy should've put its nomination forward.
WHAT SHOULD WIN: Have only seen two of these so The Betrayal (Nerakhoon) WHAT WILL WIN: Man on Wire
Editing The Curious Case of Benjamin Button The Dark Knight Frost/Nixon Milk Slumdog Millionaire
WHAT SHOULD WIN: The Dark Knight WHAT WILL WIN: Slumdog Millionaire

Will they be offering the Irving G. Thalberg Award this year? If so, who's up for that?
I just hope at some point during one of these they'll get around to giving at least one member of the SNL/SCTV generation a lifetime achievement award that many of them have earned but have gone under the radar with since the Academy so clearly doesn't appreciate even great performances from comedians, as evidenced when they tossed Bill Murray aside for Lost in Translation a few years back and killed any last hope I had they'd honor that generation for their work in their lifetimes (one could well argue Murray was also run over a quarter century ago, that Venkman may have been good enough for at least a Best Actor nomination--not necessarily the win, but defintely a nomination).

Best Picture - I think this year the Academy will embrace the feeling of change and positivity that has gripped the world since November, and give the gong to Slumdog Millionaire .
Best Actor - This is a tough one. As much as I love Brad Pitt and Benjamin Button, it won't be him. The Academy also often reserves the "comeback" award for supporting roles, so Mickey Rourke will miss out. The Academy likes to reward portrayals of real people, so it will be between Sean Penn and Frank Langella, and the award will go to Sean Penn for playing a more sympathetic character than Richard Nixon.
Best Actress - I haven't seen any of the films these women are nominated for. Melissa Leo won't win because of last years shock gong for Marion Cotillard. As good an actress as Anne Hathaway is, I think the Academy will hold out for her another year. So it's between La Streep, Angie and Kate Winslet. My sentimental favorite is Kate, but it's a very tight race, and I can't choose. So sentimentality wins, and it will be Kate Winslet .
Supporting Actor - I enjoyed "our Heath" in The Dark Knight, but I didn't think the performance was Oscar worthy. But if he loses, the winner will go down in infamy as robbing Heath of a final dignity in death. So Heath Ledger it will be, even though I think it should be Robert Downey Jr for his outrageous performance in Tropic Thunder.
Supporting Actress - Often reserved for up and comers, or lifetime achievers, meaning normally Viola Davis and Taraji P Hensen would be shoeins (ps, they are this years only non Caucasian acting nominees), but this year it will go to a more established actress (none of whom are about to drop of the perch...). Have to admit I haven't seen the films the 3 ladies have been in, and I'm basing my pick on buzz that I've heard, so Penelope Cruz it is.
Best Director - This year is only the 5th time in Oscar history that nominated directors are for the 5 Best Picture nominees. It always strikes me as odd that a film can be nominated for Best Picture and the director miss out, after all, it's the director's vision that makes a film what it is. Remember the furore over "the film that directed itself"? when Driving Miss Daisy won Best Picture and Bruce Beresford wasn't even nominated? Anyhoo, this year the Best Director will be the man behind the Best Picture winner - Danny Boyle. I love Danny Boyle movies, Trainspotting, Shallow Grave, 28 Days Later, Sunshine, even The Beach. It's great to see David Fincher nominated too, he is my 2nd favorite director (behind Alfred Hitchc0ck)

WOLVERINE IS DANCING, it must be the Oscars
PENELOPE CRUZ WINS: viva la raza, I love Penelope Cruz, well deserved win for a good performance. As far as I'm concerned Woody Allen just pays himself for jerking off, just like that legendary perve Stanley Kubruck, God rest his soul. Cruz all the way, the fiestas at her house.
Dustin Lance Black takes the best original screenplay gong for 'Milk' , or as homophobic phillistines the world over are calling it: some gay movie. It should've been 'In Burges': This cat Black (any relation to Shane Black I wonder?) isn't old enough to vote, but the Sean Penn flick about a gay politican puts him on the map with a surprise win.

Simon Beaufoy picks up his best adapted screenplay award for 'Slumdog Millionaire', thought it was going to be 'The Reader', anti-semitic *******s.
Another one of my 'Should Win' predictions comes good as Michael O' Conner collects a statue for his sterling work on 'The Duchess', though Kiera Knightley could wear nothing and still look stunning...I'll leave you with that thought as we cut to a commerical break.

THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON wins in make-up and art direction, screwing 'THE DARK KNIGHT' in the process. Well done Brad Pitt, you young-old geezer, isn't it enough that you get to **** Angelina Jolie 24/7, now you have to **** Batman too!
Posted by Kash (Member # 297) on :
Anthony Dod Mantle chalks up another one for SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, taking home a best cinematogrpahy gong, 'THE DARK KNIGHT' gets screwed yet again.
MAN ON WIRE ginerly walks the tightrope to claim best documentary. Weak catergoy all around this year.
BUTTON takes best visual effects, 'DARK KNIGHT' picks up one for sound.
Posted by Kash (Member # 297) on :
SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE wins best editing, boy 'Frost/Nixon' (a great movie) is being ignored like Tito Jackson was at the Motown Jackson 5 reunion.
They just lobbed another gong THE DARK KNIGHT'S way, sound editing. Technical Oscars may sound boring, but they count when you stick it on the Oscar re-release DVD.
HELP THE AGED: Eddie Murphy gives Jerry Lewis a lifetime achivement Oscar, I always liked Lewis, wonder if Robert DeNiro is in the audience shouting anti-semitic insults like he did whilst shooting 'The King Of Comedy'.

This is about the time I breathe a sigh of releif for not having bet a dime on this nonsensical, random ritual of booozy backslapping: 'Departures' comes up from out of nowhere (well, it was on the nominations list, but never a serious contender) to scoop best animation...anyone seen this movie from the great country of Japan? you should, it just won an Oscar for best foreign film.

SPICOLI SURFS TO VICTORY AS THE WRESTLER GETS PINNED
BEST ACTOR: SEAN PENN, what a ****ing hero this guy is, satirises his own crowd of "commie homo-loving sons of guns!" Penn is one of my favourite actors, has been since the 80s, and this is second Academy award for best actor, putting him up there with the likes of his idol Jack Nicholson, Marlon Brando,Daniel Day Lewis, Dustin Hoffman, Tom Hanks Spencer Tracy, Fredric March & Gary Cooper.
Glad he acknowledged the resurgent Mickey Rourke who, I'm certain, is about to get plastered and **** anything that moves. As someone once said: I'm not homophobic in that I'm afriad of Gays, its just that I'm afraid they're all going to burn in Hell, well be that as it may, I agree with Penn in his equal rights for all people message, its difficult not to concur with a sentiment so reasonable thats its liable to ring ture with everytone, even my uncle, Mel...

BEST FILM AWARD GOES TO...SLUMDOG MILLIONARIE
8 WINS, COUNT EM': 8 OSCARS, that's one for each of Nadya Suleman's newborns as Danny Boyle's upbeat picture joins ranks with From Here to Eternity (1953), On the Waterfront (1954), My Fair Lady (1964), Cabaret (1972), Gandhi (1982) & Amadeus (1984).
FROST/NIXON should've won something IMO Frank Langella was excellent in it.
And that's that for another year, I'm off to find that jersey with the Cruz sister's numbers on it and since these bashes are pretty much devoid of any intellectual merit, I'll leave you with one of my favourite clips from one of my favourite movies in recent years. This has been me, for Fast-Rewind at the 81st Academy Awards, keeping it close to the bone and way out of my designated time zone, to bring you the very best live blog coverage (**** Twitter!!), blow-by-blow account of a ceremony that's already begun to fade away in the collective consciousness that we call popular culture. Until next time: Good night & Good luck.
Kash, thanks for the Oscar updates and commentary.....it was quite entertaining.
Posted by buffalo-girl (Member # 7498) on :
yes thank-you kash i did watch some of it not all but was glad heath and sean won i love sean penn too i think he is a great actor!!
Posted by ISIS (Member # 1780) on :
I watched a piece of it, I saw Heath Ledger win, and everyone was teary eyed. It looked like a super small stage. I was shocked at how "unglamorous" the whole thing seemed, there were people there that looked like they just rolled out of bed. Mickey Rourke actually looked "prettied up" next to some of the people.
I can't believe how people use to really get all glammed up for the Academy Awards, and now it's so casual looking.
I was watching some of it, and it was the same old thing over and over. I missed the Memorial Tribute that they do, so I am glad Kash listed everyone- that list is mostly men.
Posted by Ronnie (Member # 465) on :
i liked the show a lot. they did some things differently, and the set up was nice..it felt more intimate.
i thought all the ladies looked elegant. i liked how they presented the best actor/actress & best supporting actor/actress awards with the former winners.
i want to see MILK. i was rooting for mickey rourke because he was great in THE WRESTLER but sean penn is a terrific actor so i will definitely watch his movie.
i still want to see THE READER and SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE.
yay for heath!
Posted by Pittsburghgirl (Member # 7514) on :
Ugh, we were rooting for Mickey Rourke to win, but my hubby kept saying they will probably pick Sean Penn. He was right. I'm tired of Sean Penn, and his left wing politics,and I'm tired of him winning all the time. Give some one else a chance, Academy! I see this crappy awards thing hasn't changed- ancient men voting on movies. I don't know what awards show you were watching, but the women were all beautiful and elegant. Full makeup and hairdos. Even Diane Lane finally put some colorful makeup on, instead of the bland housewife look she's gone with for the past 15 years.
Posted by Ronnie (Member # 465) on :
omg, i was thinking the same thing about diane lane. she was actually wearing lipstick!
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
I was pulling for Mickey too. I hear Sean did good in Milk but I haven't saw it. Did he get on his usual soapbox of "We need to get out of Iraq blah blah blah?" I'm suprised it didn't show that video of him in a canoe in new Orleans helping people out like it does pretty much everytime he's mentioned. You help people out that's great but can you lay off of the shameless self promotion?

Posted by ISIS (Member # 1780) on :
I am talking about their hairdos.....their hair looked ratty....some of the people really looked like they rolled out of bed-those are the men I am talking about...some of them looked like bums, like they hadn't shaved in a week...the women who pulled their hair back -it looked a mess.
I am not saying there weren't a few people who had make up on, but when they did a pan of the audience, I thought what a mess....Seymour Hoffman- he is one of them that looked like a bum, and then there were a bunch of them that were directors or writers or producers, or independant people.
I don't know who Michael Shannon is...but he's one that needed to brush his hair.
It's like ...your at the Academy Awards...clean up.

I can't find one of her at the 2009 Oscars that I could copy to here. I thought she was so pretty in The Wedding Date, even though she was the "tool" sister.

You said that I was jealous of her because she was younger than me. As if that's why I said she had messy hair. I only said that, because I thought for the Academy Awards- her hair could have been done nicer.
Someone who is only 6 years younger than me, is not someone I'd be jealous of....infact there is absolutely not one person on this planet that I am envious or jealous of. I hate the word "Jealousy"...it's right up there with the word "Greedy'.... those are 2 words I never want associate with me ...ever, so I don't appreciate anyone insinuating those things about me, ever.

Amy Adams is a good actress, I wouldn't say she's hot, but I liked her in 'Charlie Wilson's War' & 'Enchanted'.
I was watching the extras on my Ben Hur DVD and they've got the 1959 Oscar clips where the movie won 11 awards: Its just a small stage with all the little gold men on a shelf, not very spectacular, but it worked; it was as if the actors where walking into their living rooms.

It's not that bad, I think she was going for a 1940s look to go with her film, glad she didn't go the full method and arrive with a battalion of 'SS' troops.

I think this hairdo would have looked so much better on Amy Adams.
I didn't hate Kate's 'do, but I do think her hairstyle choices make her look at least 10 years older. I liked her gown though, and I also loved Amy Adams' gown, and wow, Marisa Tomei looked smokin' hot too!
