Oscar Preview


CAN YOU SURVIVE THE OSCARS?
Yes, the image above is that of rap group Three Six Mafia celebrating their Oscar win. That is also when the Oscars officially jumped the shark. Your telling me that they deserves Oscars but one of the greatest directors ever, Martin Scorsese, does not? Yeah I agree, "Hard out here for a pimp" is a great piece of music *cough* but I mean c'mon! I'm still waiting for one of them to make the Oscar statue into the centerpiece on a chain. But anyway...who am I kidding...When I saw them win a smile came across my face like I won the lottery. Watching these uptight pricks nervously applaud while they excepted was awesome.
This is the Oscar preview...Is it possible to watch the entire broadcast without dying of boredom...I don't know? I love film but I think that is a feat that can only be performed by a gay fashionista. Let me pick the winners real quick...and if its anything like my Super Bowl predictions, this is basically what will happen...(BTW: I have a big time hard on for The Departed, its one of my favorite films ever)
ACTOR IN LEADING ROLE
Winner: Forest Whitaker
I think this is basically a lock.
ACTOR IN SUPPORTING ROLE
Winner: Eddie Murphy
Playing a James Brown knock off might get him the role of James Brown in Spike Lee's upcoming flick.
LEADING ACTRESS
Winner: Helen Mirren
Lets move on...I have no idea why I chose her.
ACTRESS IN SUPPORTING ROLE
Winner: Jennifer Hudson
Too bad you couldn't win American Idol! A award Americans actually care about!
BEST DIRECTOR
Winner: Martin Scorsese
God damn he better win. He is owed this for Mean Streets, Raging Bull, and Goodfellas. And I think Departed is just as good as any of those films.
BEST PICTURE
Winner: Saw 3....kidding...Little Miss Sunshine
I never saw it, but I hear its overrated. I personally would pick The Departed.

I would take Goodfellas out of the Scorcese argument. Casino and even Color of Money are probably more compelling to put in there.

Also, did you hear this?: Pacman Jones showed up to a strip club at 4am Thursday with a garbage bag full of 81,000 dollars cash. He "made it rain" by throwing handfulls of cash into the air which incited a riot.
