Default Oscar Nominees - who are you rooting for?

OSCAR.com - 80th Annual Academy Awards - Nominee List

I haven't seen all the movies, but I'm hearing either There Will Be Blood and No Country For Old Men will win for Best Picture.

I haven't seen all the nominees either, though of the Best Picture nominees, I have seen all but Michael Clayton.
Javier Bardem should have it locked up for No Country--he was absolutely chilling.
I will be interested to see what wins in Documentary Features, art direction and costume design.
I hope I can stay awake long enough to see most of the Oscars, but if I fall asleep I suppose there is always YouTube in the morning.

Default The Oscars - 2008

Who is watching this tonight?

I admit, I am shallow. I watch all the red carpet festivities just to see the jewelry, clothes and the gorgeous men.

Thank goodness for Tivo because my attention span would never allow me to sit through the whole show, I fast forward to the places I care about and ignore the rest.

Tried to watch it. Couldn't stand it. Gag. Blarghhh. John Stewart didn't impress me. He never does. His lame lines fell flat.

When Billy Crystal did the show, it was awesome. No such luck these days.

Regis Philbin was excellent as host of the Red Carpet prelude - best part of the show. More enjoyable to play computer solitaire.

Overall, everyone looked great tonight, I thought. Jennifer Hudson...wasn't too keen on her dress only because she is so big on top, and the dress really accented it. And Nicole Kidman, beautiful dress with beautiful jewelry, but it looked like her necklace was all over the place and needed to be straightened out. But these were minor things...everyone looked really good, no one I saw was dressed weird.

I watched the whole thing. I'm thinking of suing the Academy for punitive damages. What a waste of 3 1/2 hours of my life. This year was soo boring! This is the best the brightest stars in Hollywood could muster?

I can't say there were any real surprises tonight. Didn't seem like any one movie won a majority of the awards.
