50/50…

I just finished watching the Academy Awards… Good show this year, John Stewart did an awesome job - the Best Actress & Best Sound Mixer promotional ads were really funny.. =)

I’m happy to see that 50% of the academy agreed with my selections. We both picked:

• Best Motion Picture: Crash
• Best Achievement in Directing: Ang Lee
• Best Actor: Philip Seymour Hoffman

We disagreed on:

Best Supporting Actor: I picked Matt Dillon, but the academy gave Oscar to George Clooney. George had the best acceptance speech of the night, and he was my #2 pick in this category, so I was happy he won.

Best Supporting Actress: I picked Amy Adams, but the academy choose Rachel Weisz. I’m a bit disappointed that Amy didn’t get it (Roger Ebert and I are totally in sync - go see Junebug!), but I’m happy with giving it to Rachel. She was my #3 pick in this category.

Best Actress: I picked Felicity Huffman, but the academy choose Reese Witherspoon. I’m a bit disappointed in this category. Reese was my #2 pick in this category, but I really don’t think Reese is ready for an Oscar at this point in her career. Ohh well…

In any case, I’m probably going to stop blogging as much as I have been. This week is going to be pretty hectic and I’ve got to head down to Oregon next weekend. Perhaps I’ll stop at Mt. Bachelor for some snow on Sunday… I’ll take pictures if I do.

Later.

Ohh wait - I totally forgot to mention 36 Mafia!!.. First, why the fuck can’t they say bitches?! According to the press, all systems were go, but in the performance they sung “witches” instead… Lame!! But who could have picked them as the winner?! _O_M_G_!… I don’t think the press will cover this much, but I see it as a really big turning point in hip hop history… This is going to push rap to another level, the future is going to be awesome! =)
