So, it's Christmas Day in Los Angeles - a/k/a Oscar night.
Best Actor's a gimme, of course, Jamie Foxx (but Al Pacino, not even nominated, deserves it). Best Actress will go to Hilary Swank, but should go to Imelda Staunton's wrenching performance in Vera Drake. Supporting Actor looks like Morgan Freeman; my vote'd go to Clive Owen's lacerating performance in Closer (Thomas Haden Church very close behind). The hardest to call might be Supporting Actress: I think it may end up going to Cate Blanchett's fine take on Kate Hepburn in The Aviator, but I'm still rooting heartily for Sideways's Virginia Madsen.
I think the screenplay trophies will, as they should, go to the writers of Sideways (adapted) and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (original). Best Director deserves to go to Martin Scorcese, but I worry it'll go to Clint Eastwood. Similarly, I think Million Dollar Baby is going to win Best Picture, though I hope it's Aviator. [My own best of '04 was Sideways, which will go into history as a classic, but I don't see it winning.]
Let's get Rocked, y'all.

Thomas, why can't more sites be as good as yours!!! You see I am changing my life at the moment and I have decided to start a work at home jobs in uk site. I am trying to get inspiration so I can become easier to talk to. You site has given me some ideas. I talk to a wide range of people and I need to relate to everyone I come across so thanks for your posts! The title 'this post' caught my eye so I thought I'd post on this one. Cheers.
