| The Skinny! | This year's crop of nominees actually has some pretty good performances. I'm glad they settled the strike. | |||||||
| Sup Actress: | A woman dressed like a guy, and as Bob Dylan no less! Oscar fave Cate Blanchett is the hands down lock to win here. WRONG! | |||||||
| Sup Actor: | Javier Bardem is the obvious choice, but I'm going with the great performance of Casey Affleck in a movie I didn't even see. WRONG! | |||||||
| Actress: | Take veteran actress Julie Christie and make her look old and haggard with Alzheimers: That's Oscar worthy! WRONG! | |||||||
| Actor: | Daniel Day-Lewis should have won for Gangs of New York. This year he's in the muck and oil, in another terrific role. CORRECT! | |||||||
| Director: | The Coen Brothers are at the top of their game again in a movie that I've already seen twice. Lock 'em in! CORRECT! | |||||||
| Picture: | No Country for Old Men is a very suspenseful story, and the ending made sense to me. Plus I was jumping out of my seat. CORRECT! | |||||||
