oscar time

[listersgirl]

Despite the fact that I am probably not going to be home to watch the Oscars this year (is it lame to tape them and watch them later? I mostly just want to see what people are wearing), I have a slight case of Oscar Fever, and so am attempting to placate myself by entering my work Oscar pool. Maybe I'll even win some money!


Here, then, are my picks to win:

Best Picture: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Best Director: Peter Jackson
Best Actor: Bill Murray (I'd love it if Johnny Depp won, but I really don't think there's a chance of that, despite the SAG win.)
Best Actress: Charlize Theron
Best Supporting Actor: Tim Robbins
Best Supporting Actress: Shohreh Aghdashloo
Best Adapted Screenplay: Mystic River
Best Original Screenplay: Lost in Translation
Best Foreign Language Film: The Barbarian Invasions
Best Animated Feature Film: Finding Nemo
Best Art Direction: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Best Cinematography: Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
Best Documentary Feature: The Fog of War
Best Documentary Short Subject: Chernobyl Heart
Best Original Score: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Howard Shore)
Best Original Song: "Into the West", The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (How much do I want the song from Mighty Wind to win? I don't think it can make it past the RotK juggernaut, though.)
Best Animated Short: Nibbles
Best Live Action Short: Two Soldiers
Best Sound: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Best Sound Editing: Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
Best Costume Design: The Last Samurai
Best Film Editing: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Best Makeup: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Best Visual Effects: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King


Play along! Leave your choices in the comments, or post them in your journal and leave a note in the comments. Maybe I'll even be able to scrounge up a prize for the winner. :)

I will be taping them. I think I will be too angsty to watch them live (or on a 2 minute tape-delay or whatever).

Award shows and interviews and stuff just make me nervous. Ack.

*frets*

Dude, I know. Plus then you can fast forward past the stupid lifetime honourees speeches, which always go on *forever*.

Urm... Hi. This comment has nothing to do with the Oscars (although your picks to win do seem perfectly logical to me). I just wanted to let you know that I added you as a friend on blue_lotus' recommendation. We are good friends IRL here in Saskatoon and she thought I would dig your posts. And so I do. Feel free to add me, or not, as you see fit.

Funny, I actually have your journal bookmarked - I was planning to check it out after a comment I read...somewhere. So, hi!
