SHOULD WIN: Mark Ruffalo for Kids, because who knows what kind of “preparation” went into “researching” his sperm donor role. It would be nice to see Adams win, but I am still mad at her for the disappointing Enchanted.
WILL WIN: The Fighter’s Christian Bale, because he’s Bat- man and that’s good enough for me. Leo, who appeared on The L Word, will get the prize for “getting ugly for the cameras” as a white trash mom in the same movie as Bale. Hope there’s room in her single-wide!
Out of the 10 pictures up for Best Picture, it is akin
Girl, you were robbed! Every year,
to the race for Best Actress, with two frontrunners in The Social Network and The King’s Speech.
SHOULD WIN: Honestly, Toy Story 3 was my favorite 2010 flick (it’s a shoo-in for Best Animated Feature), but The King’s Speech has gained momentum. And Black Swan and Kids were good, too. This is hard, like when they ask me at the grocery store if I want paper or plastic!
WILL WIN: The Social Network, but this could be the OMG moment of the night if King’s usurps it; much like The Hurt Locker did over Avatar last year.
it seems as though some actors and
actresses get buzzed, prior to the official Oscar nomina- tions announcement. No, not like that, and besides Charlie Sheen is primarily a TV actor now. And there were a few snubs in the batch of gold standards and practices this year, such as Black Swan’s Mila Kunis. Um, Portman didn’t share a steamy lesbian sex scene with herself, k? And the same goes for Blue Valentine’s Ryan Gosling, minus the lesbian sex scene, naturally. Julianne Moore has done plenty over the years to draw attention to the plight of “our kind,” so her exclu- sion is more puzzling than why she and screen-wife Bening like to watch vintage gay male porn in Kids. The Social Network’s Andrew Garfield and Justin Tim-
berlake were both left out of the running. Hey, at least Garfield still has his web-slinging role secured in the Spider-Man reboot (we’ll see how that pans out for him in 2012), and perhaps this was a message for J.T. to ease off the acting and make a new CD! Seriously when is that going to drop, as the kids say? Perhaps the biggest gay gasp moment was that the
aforementioned Cher song was “overlooked” in the Original Song category. Maybe, it was the Academy’s way of saying that it was appropriate that Burlesque was released during Thanksgiving?
Hosting Duties Nominee Franco and missed-being-one Anne
Cut. Print. That’s A Wrap! I wish that the Academy would break their categories
into Best Drama and Best Comedy (like The Globes do), so that there is as a fair share of the wealth of award- worthy performances to be recognized. Aww, that was nice…don’t tell anybody! Until next time, that’s all of the news that’s fit to print.
Hathaway will be presiding over the festivities— and most likely will not take a page out of Ricky Gervais’ Globes hosting book. For the record, he was hilarious! But, these two choices are puzzling. Don’t get me wrong I love them both. But wouldn’t they be better suited for lame banter as present- ers? Well, we’ll see if this gamble pays off. I bet poor Billy Crystal is still waiting by the phone, assuming he’s being Punk’d by Ashton Kutcher, as it’s not like ole Billy is busy or anything.
