Two years ago Crash won the Best Picture Oscar beating out the much hyped (dare I say overhyped?) front-runner Brokeback Mountain. Because of all the hype, I predicted that Brokeback Mountain was going to win even though I liked Crash better. Since the win was unexpected, the critics pretty much went crazy. An article posted…
Million Dollar Baby will probably always be infamous for being the fifth film that Martin Scorsese lost to, before he finally won his Oscar last year. I do agree that this is a very good film, but I feel that this film winning was almost consolation for the fact that, in my opinion the better…
I’m not terribly old (25), so I have only been old enough to stay up for the entire 4 hour Oscar broadcast for a little over a decade. Even though I have been keeping track of the winners for a couple years previous, the first Oscar ceremony I watched, except for some channel surfing late…
The 80th Annual Academy Awards are this coming Sunday and I am going to make posts all week to celebrate. Tomorrow, we will start things off with my history with the Oscars, where I will look back at when I started watching and I will tally how many of my Best Picture predictions were correct….
This would usually be the time that I would post my thoughts on the Oscar nominations. However, there were no real surprises with this year’s nominations and they are complete over-shadowed by the fact that actor Heath Ledger was found dead today. It’s always sad when a celebrity dies, especially when you have grown to…
It was a bit of tough year this year. I only got 13 out of 24 predictions this year. However, I still got all but one of the major six, so everything’s not all but Here are my final thoughts on the major winners. Best PictureMy Prediction and Winner: The DepartedFinal Thoughts: I never thought…
Another year, another set of Oscar predictions. This year’s bunch of nominees is harder to call this year, but I will try my best. Oh, before I make my predictions, I want to make a comment about the fact that Dreamgirls is the top nominee, but it not nominated for Best Picture. Simply put, Dreamgirls…
It was a good year for me this year, since I got 15 out of 24 predictions correct. In fact, in the major categories, I only got one wrong. As such, here are my final thoughts on the major winners. Best PictureMy Prediction: Brokeback MountainWinner: CrashFinal Thoughts: The real surprise of the night. However, since I did…
‘Tis that time again. I shall now pick who I think will win doing the Oscars this upcoming Sunday. As you may know, it’s a more “indie” group in the nominees this year, which should make for an interesting night for movie buffs and a boring one for the mainstream fans (you can’t please anyone)….
My predictions sucked a bit this year, with me only getting 10 of the 24 categories. The good news in all of this is that, when my pick didn’t win, my alternate won. So, if I just made a few of those alternates my primary pick, it would have been a very good year. Maybe…
