Words And Movies Are My Passion

Now Playing: "Accidentally In Love"
Hi all! This morning I want to give my predictions for tonight's Oscars! Watching the Oscars is a family tradition on Mama's side, and the fervor will probably die with me. As silly as the academy can be in it's choices, I do hope the ever increasingly popular Golden Globes don't take over the highest honors in the future!

Best supporting actor (male):Alan Alda ("The Aviator)-the old folks always win due to nostalgia!
Best supporting actor (female): Virginia Madsen ("Sideways")
Best actor(male):Jamie Foxx("Ray")
Best actor (female):Annette Benning ("Being Julia")
Best Director: Clint Eastwood ("Million Dollar Baby")
Best Song: "Learn to be Lonely" ("Phantom of the Opera")
Best foreign language film :"Yesterday" (South Africa)
Best Documentary: "The Story of the Weeping Camel"
Best Picture: "The Aviator"

Of course that's who I think will win. I have to admit that I haven't seen most of the films up this year, but I'll give my personal picks anyway.

Best supporting actor (male):Morgan Freeman ("Million Dollar Baby")
Best supporting actor (female):I really think Natalie Portman is really cool, but something about her sweetness did not convince me totally of her stripper role in "Closer", so I'm going to choose Kate Blanchett in "The Aviator" this year
Best actor(male):Jamie Foxx("Ray")
Best actor (female):Catalina Soreno ("Maria Full of Grace") It took guts to play that part-plus I have to give props to my people, as they still haven't won an Oscar that I can recall
Best Director: Martin Scorsese ("The Aviator")Just because, even though Eastwood is probably an excellent director, he for some reason gets on my nerves.
Best song: "Accidentally in Love" (Shrek)-this is catchy and so pop, but I can't help but sway to the beat and enjoy its lightheartedness
Best foreign language film :"As It is in Heaven" (Sweden)
Best Documentary: "Super Size Me"-this exposed some truths that everyone has a right to know-even if not everyone's body responds the same way. I hope more truths come out about our self-indulgent, self-serving, and self-destructive American ways
Best Picture: "Finding Neverland" --Duh! (and that one's for you, too, Michael!*insert high pitched "OOOOw!"*

Take care,
The Pan
