But -- ahem -- i went all out - and DID select for all of the categories. But that's OK - we all do what we can do... <br /><br />I'm not saying I'm gonna win, cuz as you point out, it's a crap shoot. But i WAS winner of the Oscar pool at the office a few year's running. Just sayin' <br /><br />May the best man win...Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13434942178702334897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185139.post-32145868273099259762012-02-09T01:50:32.318-05:002012-02-09T01:50:32.318-05:00Instead of walking, it's faster to fly an Eagl...Instead of walking, it's faster to fly an Eagle INTO Mordor. That would have saved me like 8 hours of my life instead of watching all those damn movies.<br /><br /><br />As for the contest, I'll pick:<br /><br />Best Picture: "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" (Because the title reminds me of a night with the Husbear after eating Mexican...)<br />Best Director: "The Artist" (Because we all know how hard it can be to direct artists...)<br />Best Actor: George Clooney in "The Descendants" (Because he's freakin' George Clooney! Duh!)<br />Best Actress: Rooney Mara in "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" (Just because it has "tattoo" in the title.)<br />Best Supporting Actor: Kenneth Branagh in "My Week with Marilyn" (Because he's kinda cute when he has facial hair.)<br />Best Supporting Actress: Melissa McCarthy in "Bridesmaids" (Who doesn't like wedding poop in the street humor?)<br />Best Visual Effects: "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" (Duh! Freakin' Giant Fighting Robots!)<br />Best Adapted Screenplay: "The Ides of March" (I got nothing for this pick, other than a flashback to high school and reading something that had that reference in it.)<br />Best Original Screenplay: "Bridesmaids" (Again, because poop humor should win an Oscar!)<br /><br />Of course, the only one of these I have seen was Transformers....Erik Rubrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626660182410256426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185139.post-38058766796688831172012-02-09T00:42:40.190-05:002012-02-09T00:42:40.190-05:00According to Fodor's, Mordor has no 3 star res...According to Fodor's, Mordor has no 3 star restaurants, and the speed traps are killers; no fun to visit.Ur-spohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237644452200889946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185139.post-61251534694484608082012-02-08T08:45:28.090-05:002012-02-08T08:45:28.090-05:00I didn't even go to the movie theater in 2011....I didn't even go to the movie theater in 2011. In 2010, I went to the movies once (bringing my nephews to see "Yogi Bear 3-D"... <br /><br />Are you going to NZ? Just getting caught up now that I've returned from vacation. If so,have a wonderful time and take lots of photos.BosGuyhttp://www.bosguy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185139.post-52828651362929444002012-02-08T07:53:49.329-05:002012-02-08T07:53:49.329-05:00New Zealand is my dream trip.

Maybe I could fit in some more while I lie around the house. I can't wait to hear your acceptance speech (regardless of the outcome).Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12852713057094279347noreply@blogger.com
