My Oscar Picks

Well I'm not going to over all the categories, some years I can do all the categories but this year, I'm not all into it. And I wish Children of Men could have been in the nominations but maybe they were too late.

Best Actor
Almost every Best Actress category goes to a cute young thing (Reese Witherspoon) but actors don't (Not that Jamie Foxx isn't cute and young). Now, I know I said actors shouldn't be compared by other actors on talent but I am sure Ryan Gosling can act Leonard DiCarpio out of a bloody T-Shirt. While Forest Whitake, Will Smith and Peter O' Toole gave strong performances but Ryan deserves it. Yes, his movie Half Nelson was a characterization-based movie and Pursuit of Happiness had a larger audience but stranger things have happened.

Best Actress
Helen Mirren hands down. Meryl Streep may gave a good performance but she did a comedy and the Oscars aren't known for giving awards to comedies. Also Old Royal English Ladies always trump everything else, remember Gwyneth Paltrow in Shakespeare in Love ?

Best Director
Hands down to Scorsese

Original Screenplay
Babel, if you can just write that thing, you need an award.

More to come.

My Take on the Oscars

Tonight I will be posting a lot about the Oscars, which is the Super Bowl of award shows. I love the Emmys and Golden Globes but the Oscars I look forward to the much. The year after the Titanic, the lay people weren't feeling the Oscars a smuch because there wasn't a movie the could unite for. Last year, I really enjoyed it--of course, it was awesome that Jon Stewart hosted it. He said something that was true, everyone was down- depressed and stressed. He wasn't. I think it was because th tension formed by the nominations. I think it was an injustice that Brokeback Mountain didn't get Best Picture. Don't get me wrong but Crash was awesome and poignant but people didn't think it matched up. But like one-time host Chris Rock said, you can't compare one movie to another, talent to talent. How can you say Will Smith's performance was better than Ryan Gosling? As for, Ellen Degeneres, she has hosted the Emmys way before people found out she was gay--she's cheery, what the Oscars need. Now, is she the first gay person to host the show?

Birthday Pics of the Week 8/7

Usually on Mondays, I do my 'Unknown Hotties of the Week' that are unfamous athletes, models, actors and singers I find attractive. But it's my Birthday!!! So here are sightly known people but these are who I consider attractive. And they are all not American!

Martin Henderson
Well, not as not as known as some but he was in the American adaption of The Ring, in a motorcycle movie Torque and in the Britney Spears' music video Toxic. He is New Zealand.

He is Thirty-Two years old.


Jamie Bamber
Come on, this is hot! Don't tell me it is not. He is British and in the Sci-fi channel remake Battlestar Galacta and he was in Horatio Hornblower.
He is married and has a daughter. He's Thirty-Three years old.


Ryan Gosling
Great acting work in The Believer, Murder by Numbers and recently in the romantic hit The Notebook. He is Canadian. He's Twenty-Five, making him twenty-one months older than me.
But doesn't stop him visiting the States. In the embrassing bin, he played the young Hercules in duh... Young Hercules a Fox Kids spin-off, Mickey Mouse Club and in short-lived UPN series Breaker High.


Fredrik Ljungberg
Swedish Soccer star. Who should just stay as a model.
He is Twenty-Nine years old.
