Pre Game Analysis

I figured I'd take a step back from all my anger for a moment and reflect on the Oscar's that are on tonight before they pick the winners, and I am sure I will get angry again.

Picture of the Year:
Should win: No Country for Old Men
Will Win: There Will Be Blood
I thought two movies were snubbed and should have been nominated before Michael Clayton, which wasn't that great. I though Gone Baby Gone was much better and even Lars and the Real Girl should have gotten consideration.

Male Lead:
Should Win: Daniel Day Lewis
Will Win: Johnny Depp
Oh god, Johnny Depp sings for a whole movie, give him the award. He is a good actor, but this is not his best performance, and he is young. Daniel Day Lewis is chilling in There Will Be Blood.

Female Lead:
Don't care

Best Supporting Actor:
Should Win: Javier Barden
Will Win: Phillip Seymour Hoffman
Actually, all these nominees are outstanding their roles, and steal their respective movies.

Best Supporting Actress
Should Win: Amy Ryan
Will Win: Cate Blanchett
Cate Blanchett plays a dude, Bob Dylan, anytime a female plays a male they win, see Hilary Swank.

Best Directing
Should Win Coen Brothers for No Country for Old Men
Will Win: Paul Thomas Anderson for There Will Be Blood
Everyone is going crazy because Anderson worked on his movie for like 3 years, and it is well done, but Coen brothers have made a dozen movies that they should have won for but never have. That is a crime. The guy who did Juno is the son of the guy who did Ghostbusters, so maybe he should win.

Best Adapted Screenplay
Should and Will: No Country for Old Men. I have heard it is exactly word for word from the book, but since I can not read I will never know.

Best Original Screenplay:
Should and Will: Juno. There has never been a movie written about something like this. Making teenage pregnancy hilarious and cool, brilliant. It is actually very well written. Funny when it needs to be and serious when it needs to be.
