Oscar

Quick rundown- before we head to go camping (okay it is a condos and there is a starbucks) but no cars and there are horses so I feel like it counts for camping. I will come clean on these pix I have only seen Benjamin B, Doubt, Dark Knight, and Slumdog.

Best Picture/Director- Slumdog- (I didn't think it was the BEST movie) but like all the critics have said it has all the elements of a winner- small indie movie, no name actors from a foreign land (etc)

Actor- I am not going Sean Penn - I'll take Mickey Rourke in all his neon spandex glory

Actress- Kate Winslet-I like her as an actress but would have rather see Meryl Streep win (she's still the best in my opinion)

S/Actor- Heath- similar to GG no way they won't give the dead man the golden guy. Believe PS Hoffman should win. How relaxing to be in this category these boys don't even have to write out a speech for the night.

S/Actress-Viola Davis- Doubt- Amy Adams better not steal votes from this lady

Animated- Wall E will win (btw I hated it- wanted a book light at the movie theatre so I could read a magazine, kids thought it was so so but they also thought Space Chimps was so-so)


BTW next year's Oscar falls on my birthday which I am giving Chris a year to secure tix for me. He said he is working on the BAFTA (poor man's Oscars in England)
