Oscars!
Crying women, smug producers and golden statuettes ... I love the Academy Awards.
Most of all I'm looking forward to pulling a face at Keira Whatsit's boney frame poking out of a dress made from gauze , George Clooney pretending he doesn't mind not winning (bless him and his good nature ) and Johnny Depp in a tux
Everyone loves the Oscars, don't they? :"The Jaguar's going cheap"

I've lost my last drop of respect for Oscars when I saw that one of the best movies of last year " 4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days " wasn't nominated.
I have a feeling that Atonement will win. It's a sort of a brother of Titanic.
I'd rather watch the french Cesar awards tonight.

I always wondered why do they continue giving those golden statues when the quality of the movies went lower and lower every year?!
What's the use of glorifying some poor movies (there are exceptions too, not to many however).
As for seeing Keira Knightley, well that is always a pleasure for those who value real beauty!Michael Schumacher The Best Ever F1 Driver
Everything I post is my own opinion and I\'ll always try to back it up! :)

Squaredly put, the Oscar for "Best Picture" will be between 'Atonement' and 'No Country for Old Men'.
Golden Globes was a good primer for the Oscars, mainly who and what would be considered the top contenders for each category. Now, it's just the matter of waiting for Sunday night to see who takes home the statues.Defend mediocrity... because excelence is just too hard to achieve. :p

No Country for Old Men will take the Oscar for best picture and Daniel Day Lewis for best Actor. Those are safe bets. Coen brothers get something, probably for screenplay but I hope for directing too.
