Oh, Oscar Obviousness....

I really should have picked the people who were actually going to WIN the Oscars, instead of who I WANTED to win. Here's my reaction to the winners....

BEST FOREIGN FILM- THE COUNTERFEITERS- Knew it was going to win. Didn't pick it. Don't know why.

ANIMATED SHORT- PETER AND THE WOLF- Exact same thing as above.

LIVE-ACTION SHORT- THE MOZART OF PICK-POCKETS- Um, shwatever.

DOCUMENTARY SHORT- FREEHELD- See above.

SOUND EDITING- THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM- No comment, that's it.

SOUND MIXING- THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM- Nice job with your sound, Bourne film.

MAKEUP- LA VIE EN ROSE- Of course.

F/X- THE GOLDEN COMPASS- I guess in the end, armored polar bears defeat transforming robots.

DOCUMENTARY- TAXI TO THE DARK SIDE- Yep.

COSTUMES- ELIZABETH: THE GOLDEN AGE- Way to go, Elizabethan times.

ART DIRECTION- SWEENEY TODD- This is freakin' awesome! Sweeney Todd is officially an Oscar-winning film!!!

CINEMATOGRAPHY- THERE WILL BE BLOOD- Not my choice, but glad to see "Blood" win more than one Oscar.

EDITING- THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM- Really? Really?

ORIGINAL SONG- FALLING SLOWLY- The only thing I really like about "Once," and thank goodness, it won an Oscar.

ORIGINAL SCORE- ATONEMENT- The parallels to "Babel" just keep getting more apparent!!

ANIMATED FILM- RATATOUILLE- Obvious, and of course, I didn't pick it.

ADAPTED SCREENPLAY- NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN- See above.

ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY- JUNO- Obvious, anyone?

SUPPORTING ACTRESS- TILDA SWINTON- Yeah, for me, this came out of nowhere, but good for her.

SUPPORTING ACTOR- JAVIER BARDEM- See "Original Screenplay."

ACTRESS- MARION COTILLARD- I really should go with my brain, not my stupidity.

ACTOR- DANIEL DAY-LEWIS- HELLS YEA!!!

I'm sorry, I'll amke a huge post about Best Picture tomorrow.


Gotta go
