And the Winner Is...
With all the media coverage that the fight for Anna Nicole Smith’s remains has received, along with the wall to wall coverage of the exploits of white trash provocateur Britney Spears in the passed week, The Prez almost forgot the Superbowl of Inane Western Culture (The Oscars) was this weekend. On with the Predictions…
Best Picture
(Babel, The Departed, Letters from Iwo Jima, Little Miss Sunshine, The Queen)
The Little Miss Sunshine phenomenon reminds me of Fred Durst back in 1999. Great acclaim for a short time, top of the world even,…. until we all came to our senses.
Winner-The Departed- There is no question about it. It would be insane if this does not happen. We are talking drinking your own piss or being a Gay Republican kind of insane here.
Best Actor
(DiCaprio, Gosling, O’Toole, Smith, Whitaker)
None of these actors were as good as Colin Farrell as Sunny Crocket or Sasha Baron Cohen as Borat, but since DiCaprio is actually nominated for his second best performance (With his best being in The Departed), I’m down with giving him the award. Plus, his ex is now dating an NFL Legend in the making, so he could use a self esteem builder.
Supporting Actor
(Arkin, Jackie Earle Haley, Hounsou, Murphy, Wahlberg)
I would love the award to go to the guy who played Kelly Leak. But this one goes to Marky Mark as Sergeant Dignam hands down. If nothing else then for uttering the dialogue “That would make us C****, and you don’t think we're C**** do you?. Simply Brilliant
Best Actress
Who cares….Lets go with Penelope Cruz for her possible acceptance speech.
Best Supporting Actress
A future Ms. Skinamax perhaps....
Best Cinematography
(The Black Dahlia, Children of Men, The Illusionist, Pan’s Labyrinth, The Prestige)
Who needs PCP when there are trippy films like Pan’s Labyrinth?However, I am going with Children of Men, because any film so disorienting has got to impress film people, and some how Emanuel Lubezki captured a dark apocalyptic hellscape to match Clive Owen’s tortured Anti-hero persona.
Best Documentary
Jesus Camp was the scariest film in years, but I’m not into horror Documentaries that have me questioning the progress of Human Beings. This award actually goes to Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth, if for no other reason then it got my lazy, immature, and apathetic Senior Law Classes to care about some thing other then their trucks or the latest Larry the Cable Guy DVD for five minutes.
Best Director
No offense to the other nominees, but Scorcese wins or it is a sign the Apocalypse is upon us.
Original Screenplay
This one is going to Letters from Iwo Jima, although some people may have a Little Miss Sunshine hangover.
Best Song
Uuuuhhh…Randy Newman is nominated. Enough said.

Ah, I am now prepared. How much of a travesty is it that SBC didn't get nominated for Borat?
I'm really pulling for Scorcese. Did you hear Jon Stewart's joke last year after Three Six Mafia won for best song?
"For those keeping track at home, Three Six Mafia - One. Martin Scorcese - Zero."
indeed.
