Ron should have the "Ronnies" as in Avidan on here.

Best poster, etc...

Mars would win multiple awards.

You're likely  to lock up an award or two yourself, Showstoppa.

The Kodak Theater is just  few blocks from my house, and they closed off Hollywood Blvd earlier in the week to set up the red carpet and grand stands.  Needless to say my neighborhood has been gridlocked all week.  After the ceremonies, it will take another 3-4 days to tear everything down.

I used to live over in that area as well.  Three years ago I tried leaving my house on Sunday of the Oscars, it took 45 minutes to go three blocks, I parked my car and walked home.  I moved out of there a few months later heh.

TA, u rip apart pro athletes, the superbowl etc.....   but now your all over the Oscars?

The Oscars are a celebration of artistic merit.   I also enjoy the fashion aspect.

Slumdog Millionaire, Frozen River and The Wrestler are all low budget films.

Slumdog was supposed to be released straight to DVD.

Frozen River should have been nominated for more awards, it is one of the top films this year in my opinion.

I didn't think that a smart guy like you would care about  the Oscars.

Ah, I was referring to your picks. Hollywood likes winners (read: money) and every so often they tip their hat to artistic vision. Read your William Goldman. He's written a couple of good insider books on H-wood. Dude knows what he's talking about, and remember his H-wood dictum:'Nobody knows anything.'   :D

Point well established and I am in full agreement.  Vidal made the same assessment.  I still am miffed over Brokeback Mountain  or Good Night and Good Luck not winning for best picture and it is a travesty this year if Frost/Nixon does not win.

Good point! That scene at the end of BBM where Heath is standing in front of the open closet door with the shirt on a hangar with the mountains seen through the small trailer window is a master class in framing a scene. Still can see it in my head. 

/liked heath better in that movie than batman, too 
//the list of best picture stinkos is a long one.

I can predict that this Oscars will be the most boring and predictable yet.  Perhaps if they are really good, they can sink more in the ratings that last years disaster...

I disagree.  Batman is too terrible of a movie to even warrant any accolade.

Hoffman is Much, much, much better.

Ledger did deserve best actor for Brokeback Mountain though.

So you're saying Brokeback Mountain was a better movie then Batman?

we'll see about this

Ledger's performance was fantastic and really the entire movie was excellent, you have little taste. Learn to look past hype.
Have you even seen it?

obviously you don't know what The Reader is about, which is up for best picture and Kate Winslet is up for best actress

As far as i hear this story is terrible but she plays her part well, kinda just sounds like typical Jewish anguish getting things awry.

Brokeback Mountain is on of the greatest films ever made.  Batman is horrible.

Nope.  Nothing Pro-Jewish about the movie.  The opposite is actually meant to be conveyed in that you sympathize for Winslett as the Nazi Guard as well as everyone involved.
