The last couple of days, just for the fun of it, we polled the predictions of Roger Ebert, movie critic extraordinaire, the fine Strippers from Rick's Cabaret, and myself to see who would could the closest to picking the Oscar winners. Well, Roger, you're the man! You got all five top winners for best picture, best actors, best supporting actors and director right on the money! Good job! Who's your "Oscar Daddy"?!!!
But, well, the strippers from Rick's Cabaret definitely aren't men, or the man, here. They got just one right. They correctly picked Mo'Nique to win best supporting actress. Maybe they should stick to their day job, which they are definitely very good at.
And as for me, well I did fairly good, with the exception of missing the biggest award, the best picture prize. I thought AVATAR might narrowly come out on top because of the controversy over the producer of THE HURT LOCKER sending out an inappropriate Email asking Oscar voters to vote for their film and not AVATAR. Further, I thought THE HURT LOCKER while a good war film, was a little lacking in some areas compared to other great war films that I seen or own. But compared to Roger Ebert, I'm not quite the "Oscar Daddy" here.
But things only get worse. Much worse. I went with this picture of me to post because I couldn't find a better one. Sorry.
Well, here's to another fine year in cinema.

Good photo.
You have the perfect look for picking up the more demure types of junior college coeds.
(That's a compliment.)
Awards results? I'm always wrong.

Hello, BryanD. Those junior college girls sure don't look too bad to me. So what if they never become a rocket scientist.
