Since my live blog of the Golden Globes this year was surprisingly popular (really, I didn’t think anyone would care what I have to say), I am again live-blogging and tweeting up a storm for the Academy Awards this evening.
Should you need them, here are my predicted winners.
Though so many of us take the Oscars very seriously (guilty as charged), really, it’s just a game. It’s no different than the Super Bowl, except there are about five teams playing in every “quarter” and it’s actually quite embarrassing to be wearing the same outfit as anyone else. No jerseys on the red carpet.
Naturally, I was on Team Shame until it was not-too-shockingly nominated for nothing. That happens a lot in sports — your team doesn’t make it to the playoffs. Whatever. You pick another horse and bet on that one instead. (I’m almost done mixing sports metaphors, I swear.)
(Films discussed in this post: Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, Rango, Submarine.)
Is Oscar gay?
I think so. ‘Cause sorry, ladies — the Academy sure loves boys.
(Plus, he’s so shiny!)
At this point, what else is there left to say, but:
Oscars…
Extremely Lame & Incredibly Disappointing.
