Normally I'd be excited about the Oscars, however this year, I'm pissed because it means that I won't get my weekly dose of Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy. Alas, I will have to hold my britches another week to find out if Meredith and McDreamy do anything forbidden on their morning walk.
It will be interesting to see who wins Best Actress. Personally, I'd love to see Reese Witherspoon get it -- I haven't even seen Walk The Line yet, but I just adore her. If she wins, I will cry the way I did when Renee Zellweger won for Best Supporting Actress for Cold Mountain. Of course, that could be the pregnancy hormones talking. I think the Oscar voters are too political though in their thinking...they may not give it to her because she already won the SAG and the Golden Globe. Charlize Theron was amazing in North Country, but she won last year so I'm guessing they won't give it to her again. Guess we will find out soon enough!
I really don't have strong opinions about the other categories, except that I don't understand why Rachel Weisz is getting so much praise for The Constant Gardner. I'd like to see someone like Matt Dillon win for Best Supporting Actor, but I doubt he will. Crash was an absolutely incredible movie and it would make a powerful statement if it won for Best Picture, but with all of the hype surrounding Brokeback Mountain, it might not stand a chance. It did win the SAG award though, so you just never know.
I'll just be honest right now and admit that what really matters isn't who wins, but what everyone is wearing. Can't wait to read Go Fug Yourself this coming week!

Kurt was slightly peeved that he missed the Oscars today because he wanted to see how Jon Stewart (who went to the same college as me) did. However, we went to the Mussel Fest instead and gorged ourselves on mussels and mussel chowder. I think it's funny you mentioned almost all the winners in this entry you wrote BEFORE the Oscars. Are you psychic??? :o) I have no opinion on the awards because I haven't seen ANY of these movies. So I will withhold my uninformed two cents. :o)
Haha, I totally agree. I love Grey's Anatomy! And because of that, I did not watch the Oscars. (Actually, I had to work, so I missed most of it anyway).
And they wondered why the ratings were lower this year -- it wasn't because of Jon Stewart...it was from people boycotting due to being pissed off about missing Grey's Anatomy. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! ;)
I'm not an oscars kinda girl. I heard a lot of people were annoyed that Gray's Anatomy got the Sunday boot.
