| The Skinny! | So many ways to go this year with Hollywood's favorite subjects: Pro-homosexuality, anti-Catholicism, Nixon, and Nazis. Man, it's a cornucopia! | |||||||||
| Sup Actress: | I think the two Doubt actresses cancel each other out. Plus a Woody Allen flick is always a good springboard for supporting actress. CORRECT! | |||||||||
| Sup Actor: | I really wanted to go with Michael Shannon (the crazy guy in Revolutionary Road), but the Academy honors its dead in an uninteresting movie. CORRECT! | |||||||||
| Actress: | Angelina Jolie deserves it for her fantastic performance in Changeling, but Winslet was really good in two movies, so the nod goes to her. CORRECT! | |||||||||
| Actor: | Again, my personal favorite would have been the comeback performance by Rourke, but Hollywood can't help itself fawning over nitwit Penn. CORRECT! | |||||||||
| Director: | I'm going with the chalk: Danny Boyle directing this year's Best Picture . . . CORRECT! | |||||||||
| Picture: | Slumdog Millionaire, filmed in Mumbai, India (that's Bombay to me). CORRECT! | |||||||||
