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…
Not content in watching a super stripped down version, I skipped the Golden Globes last night. However, I did check the results online late last night. I got 7 out of 14 of my predictions correct, which is down from last year, but still a fair number (50%). My biggest surprise was reading that Atonement…
The ongoing WGA strike has effectively put an end to the Golden Globes ceremony. As such the awards will only be announced via press conference (which I’ll probably skip). As such, I will quickly make my predictions with none of the usual commentary. Since I’ll only be including my prediction, you can view the full…
Today the nominees were announced for the 2008 Golden Globe awards, which is the official kick-off on the road to the Oscars. I will now provide some random thoughts on the nominees in each of the film categories. As always, I will make my formal predictions closer to the show: 7 Nominees for Best Picture…
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…
As expected, I wasn’t able to tune into this year’s awards…but that’s what newspapers are for. Here are the results. Best Picture – DramaMy Prediction: The DepartedWinner: BabelFinal Thoughts: I said that it was between these two. I predict that the Oscar race will be very close. Best Picture – Musical or Comedy Final Thoughts:…
Due to my school schedule, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to actually watch this year’s awards. However, I’ll still make my predictions. Best Picture – DramaNominees:BabelBobbyThe DepartedLittle ChildrenThe Queen Prediction: The DepartedAlternate: BabelReason: I think this award will be between The Departed and Babel. Of the two, I believe The Departed is the…
It’s that time already, eh? Nothing really surprised me with this year’s Golden Globe nominations. I would say the biggest surprise would be the nomination of Thank You for Smoking in the “Best Picture, Comedy or Musical” category, since it came out REALLY early in the year and I pretty much forgot about it. I’ll make…
