Oscar Predictions!!!

[angelordevil]

I'm pretty glad I missed Enchanted. These two songs are terrible.

They reminded me of The Little Mermaid soundtrack. I watched that thing a million times while babysitting my sister.

 

[lazarus]

Ew. Not ol' lemon face again.

Well Anjelica wasn't much of a looker, either. That's what was so fucked up about it.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

Only original song worth an award is "Falling Slowly"... hands down...

 

[deep]

Yes! That's really all I know her from. I love the soundtrack, with the songs of her singing with the band, like in the movie.

(what a poorly constructed sentence)

that Atom Egoyan (Canadian, too -I think)
makes one hell of a film


I dug the soundtrack, too

downloaded most of it.

 

[Thora]

Jon has been pretty funny so far! Nice pregnancy joke there!

 

[Lila64]

I'm on martini #3. I think I need to eat some dinner eventually to cancel out all the booze.

That reminds me, I have beer here.

Moretti's-- Red (Rosso)
Dogfish Head--Raison d'Etre
Samuel Adams--Cherry Wheat

Oh, duh - weren't they written by the same guys? Menken/Schwartz? Or did one of those two die some years ago? Hmm. At least one of them wrote these newer songs.

Mm, vodka might be a good idea, Thora. I also have some butterscotch chip cookies I made earlier.

And that Melissa Etheridge song sucked. Dreamgirls was overrated, but something from it should have won out of the nominees.

I remember the year English Patient won pretty much everything, and the new song from Evita won best song, and Andrew Lloyd Weber was just about to burst with happiness. "I'm so glad The English Patient didn't have any songs!"

 

[lazarus]

Wow. That was unexpected.

 

[corianderstem]

oop, never mind

 

[Thora]

That reminds me, I have beer here.

The nominees are:

Moretti's-- Red (Rosso)
Dogfish Head--Raison d'Etre
Samuel Adams--Cherry Wheat

Sam Adams, ftw!


Cori - definitely break out the vodka. I'm tempted to have another, but I should wait until I have some food ready.

 

[Lancemc]

Oh god, my picks are so terrible.

 

[lazarus]

Oh, duh - weren't they written by the same guys? Menken/Schwartz? Or did one of those two die some years ago? Hmm. At least one of them wrote these newer songs.

Howard Ashman, Mencken's former lyric partner, died in '91.

If he can last 10 years

Clooney would be the perfect replacement

(for womanizing jokes)

 

[corianderstem]

Gotcha. Thanks!

 

[anitram]

How could anyone sit through Enchanted without wanting to off themselves I'll never know. I had to mute the second song.

 

[corianderstem]

It was cute! and funny! And adorable, god damn it!

 

[anitram]

Maybe I've become curmudgeonly.

No, no, that's crazy talk. The movie blows.

I didn't know it had a Little Mermaid connection...interesting.

That song soooo sucked. It's almost sacrilegious to say it, because it's about saving the planet...but, man, she's capable of so much more than that.

 

[Thora]

Oh god, my picks are so terrible.

Mine too. I had thought about picking Bourne for these last 2, but changed my mind. I've gotten only 4 so far.

 

[corianderstem]

All right. Time for the vodka. And cookies!

 

[lazarus]

I think Bourne is going to take Editing.


Maybe.

 

[corianderstem]

I LOVE that Kathy Bates won for Misery.

Ditto Frances McDormand for Fargo.


... and oh my god, shut up, crying Halle Berry.

 

[Lancemc]

Those sound awards are total horseshit.

The nominees weren't too great though either so fuck it.

 

[corianderstem]

Holy shit, lead actress ALREADY?

Go Marion
Go Marion
Go Marion
Go Marion

(closes eyes, crosses fingers)

 

[lazarus]

Oh boy.

Bon chance, Marion!

 

[corianderstem]

They usually wait until the end for the lead acting awards, right?

 

[lazarus]

All right. Time for the vodka. And cookies!

Cori you're so DECADENT.

 

[Babydoll]

Cate Blanchett screaming...

 

[corianderstem]

I would really like to see Away From Her. It'll be a rental.


Oh come on, she did more in La Vie en Rose than just lip sync. That's the clip they pick?
