Oscars Wrap-Up
Well it was most definitely a big snoozer last night, although no real surprises there. The Oscars are always laborious and drawn-out and last night was no exception. Ellen fizzled as a host and I really felt bad for her. Those shadow human puppets were pointless, Celine Dion just plain scary, and the entire thing looked cheap compared to every other year (although that probably had something to do with everything been ‘green’ this year).
Oscar Predictions 2007
Well I’m getting these up just before the awards are announced. Just like last year, I’m going to include which nominees I want to see win and which one’s most probably will win. Obviously some of these will be guesses as I haven’t seen every film nominated.
2006 Oscar Predictions
Have your betting cash handy? Cause it’s Oscar night Monday and as per usual, I will throw in my predictions. I’ve seen all but one of the films nominated for Best Film but knowing the way the Academy has worked in the past, it’s not hard to predict films you haven’t seen that will probably win the selected award. In the other categories, I’m going out on major limbs because I really haven’t seen shit this year. But this is more movie-geek fun than anything else because everyone knows the Oscars mean fuck all in terms of how good the actual movies are. Remember “Forrest Gump” winning in 1994? You’re telling me that’s a better film than “Pulp Fiction”? Come on!
Saw History of Violence last night (
), Brokeback Mountain () a couple of weeks back. Both films I liked but feel slightly overpraised.
Anyway, let’s roll on with the predictions:

Jaden Smith is the new Karate Kid
I LOVE the first film so this is sacrilege. Plus Jaden is only 10 years old! Why not just make a different movie altogether? Via comingsoon.

Wall-E
Ultimately charming and heart-warming Pixar effort is a sheer delight from start to finish. Homage's to 2001, E.T and all your favourite childhood Sci-Fi movies are plentiful and just to realise so much emotion from an animated robot that hardly talks throughout the entire movie is a feat in itself. The Blu-ray version will be stunning!50 Amazing Gig Posters
