Foot in Mouth Dept: 80th Oscar Awards
Update: What a dry Oscars show! I know they had to scramble (I think they just had 7 days to prepare) but it was a low-key show for an audience of 1 billion. I think Jon Stewart did a great job at hosting this year although I think he couldn’t help himself putting in those jokes about politics. Highlights: Marion Cotillard winning Best Actress and Tilda Swinton for Best Supporting Actress were total surprise picks. Got those 2 wrong — hard categories to call. Happy that Diablo Cody won for Best Original Screenplay. I’m sure all her critics (probably writers who have a screenplay or two waiting to be made) are just stewing just about now. Heh. She wrote an interesting movie with a unique point of view so she got the Oscar. Nobody said you can entertain a mass audience and not get an Oscar for it. Oh and happy for the Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová won for Original Song from Once.
Late man din, here’s my pick:
Best Picture
No Country for Old Men
Best Actor
Daniel Day-Lewis for There Will Be Blood
Best Actress
Julie Christie for Away from Her
Best Supporting Actor
Javier Bardem for No Country for Old Men
Best Supporting Actress
Cate Blanchett
Best Directing
Joel and Ethan Coen for No Country for Old Men
