My predictions are going to look pretty bland, but I just think that's the way it's going to go. And by bland, I mean NCFOM sweeps. I would love my favorites to win, but I know better than to root for them. The way I think about it is if I wanted to be surprised as little as possible, who would win? But then I let in a few delights/surprises/upsets

Yeah, what was up with that? Not even a quick mention.
Falling in love is the greatest joy in life. Followed closely by sneaking into a gated community late at night and firing a gun into the air.

Pretty much went as expected. Only surprise for me in the categories I pay any attention to was Marion Cotillard.

But you have to admit that was a sincere, emotional acceptance.  Cut the bitch some slack, people!

Classiest moment of the night: letting Marketa Irglova back on stage.  Most classless moment: cutting her off in the first place.

Biggest abomination: both the third "Enchanted" song and that horrible fucking song from "August Rush" were nominated over Vedder?  Whatthefuck?

Second most classless: everyone in the auditorium only clapping at the names of dead people that they recognized.

i was a little surprised that Juno won for Best Screenplay. (cutest whimper ever at the end of the acceptance speech, though.)

Zodiac should have been nominated pretty much everywhere that Michael Clayton was-- but since it wasn't, I think this year was just about right.

Obviously what you are doing right now is called (in my upcoming book of psychology at least) validation. I think it's a normal thing to do. People will reply, say anything, and then you're gonna do what you were subconsciently thinking of doing all along.

this is a bright but haunted age, indeed. i hadn't seen the oscars in years, 6 years probably, and although the ceremony wasn't perfect, man, it's a weird feeling , knowing that some real quality stuff just got (more) mainstream recognition. i love living in these times.
