Oscars Preview
While most of you us only saw a couple of the TEN movies nominated this year, it never stops us from making the Academy Awards a major Dinner Topic when the time to dole out the statues arrives. Tonight, expect much of the same – safe rehearsed jokes, polite speeches thanking scores of people we’ve never heard, etc. Here are a few facts to keep you “in the know” for the night:
- Sandra Bullock collected her Razzie for “Worst Actress” in All About Steve this weekend, and might be collected a “Best Actress” award tonight for The Blind Side.
- Up is the Pixar cartoon movie. Up in the Air is the Clooney movie. Both are nominated for Best Picture.
- The likely candidates to win Best Picture are Avatar and The Hurt Locker, two pictures directed by former spouses James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow.
- It is widely assumed that Jeff Bridges has the Best Actor award wrapped up for his role in Crazy Heart, even though it is very likely you will be in a room full of people who have never seen the movie.
- Star Trek got a nomination in the Makeup category. Paint me up, Scotty?
For a refresher of last year’s winners, check out this old Dinner Topic post.
