and the winners are.......

The 50 bald men have all been handed out to their respected but not all deserving winners. It is one of the shortest Oscars ever but just as enjoyable.

Chris Rock may not be as effective as Billy Crystal or Whoopi Goldberg because unlike them, he didn’t try any tricks and just stick with what he do best, rip those stars apart with his assertive stand-up. His funny antics and incredible guts may not be as high as when he hosted the 2003 MTV Movie Awards, probably because his more restricted here, the fact that a couple of Robbie Williams’ racist jokes were removed gives it perfect sense.

Now, let’s head to the winners’ den shall we?



It’s 3 biopics and 2 small character movies… sorry, no Hobbits this year…
Who might win:
Million Dollar Baby --- a knockout!
Who should win:
Finding Neverland --- bloody brilliant!
Who will win:
The Aviator --- 11 nods and a movie about Hollywood, how sure can you possibly get?
Who won:
Million Dollar Baby--- Apparently, not sure enough. It’s very good but I just don’t believe they deserve it. this is way too much of a reimbursement for Eastwood.

Best Director:
Scorsese’s about to beat Peter ‘O Toole’s record, courtesy of a man almost his age…
Who might win:
Alexander Payne for Sideways --- remember Robert Polanski?
Who should win:
Martin Scorsese for the Aviator --- simply because I want him to die with honor…
Who will win:
Clint Eastwood for Million Dollar Baby --- battle of the stales… and he’s gonna win…
Who won:
Clint Eastwood--- I knew it! But somehow I was still hoping that the Academy will finally recognize Scorcese. Eastwood may have made 25 movies, but they’re not all as good as Martin’s. And besides, in their particular entries, Scorcese really did a much better job.

Best Actor in a Leading Role:
Four of them did exist; the other one’s rotting as we speak…
Who might win:
Leonardo DiCaprio for The Aviator --- if looks can vote….
Who should win:
Johnny Depp or Jamie Foxx --- really can’t pick…
Who will win:
Jamie Foxx for Ray --- well-earned....
Who won:
Jamie Foxx for Ray --- I never though there will come a time when I’ll say this… I really wished Leo won. I’m not a fan of his but I really love his work in The Aviator.

Best Actress in a Leading Role:
It’s a rematch, Annette vs. Hilary… whoever’s wearing the gloves is gonna bring him home…
Who might win:
Annette Bening for Being Julia --- is she gonna win against Hilaryt his time????????
Who should win:
Hilary Swank for Million Dollar Baby --- I don’t think so!
Who will win:
Hilary Swank for Million Dollar Baby --- richly deserved....
Who won:
Hilary Swank for Million Dollar Baby --- this one’s right, the only thing wrong in this picture is the fact that she’s wearing the worst dress of the night. Come on, you’re up for an Oscar and you come in that???

Best Actor in a Supporting Role:
No Owen last SAG Awards, Actors voted for Freeman, but Owen won the Globe, who’s gonna win this one?

Thomas Haden Church for Sideways --- definitely not routing for him...

Morgan Freeman for Million Dollar Baby --- give the old man the statue

Who should win:
Natalie Portman for Closer --- yeah baby!
Who will win:
Natalie Portman for Closer --- I have faith….
Who won:

Overall, the evening pulled a lot of surprises. And I don’t think Sean Penn will particularly appreciate what I’m saying here. I really can’t believe he was pissed with the Jude Law joke of Chris Rock. Man! How lame can he be?

I feel really bad for Michael Mann and the rest of the Aviator crew. They spent so much money expecting they’ll win an Oscar, and one can predict that they might bag it since they captured most of the awards, but they didn’t. Poor Martin, go back and make something they can never resist. Prove them that you can do it!

Riddler--- Out!
