    (The best screenplay, in terms of sheer writing, was Mike Leigh’s “Another Year,”)

    I FORGIVE YOU FOR THE SOSH NET HYPE, ROGER.

    Actress in a supporting role: That tendency won't carry over to this category, however, because while Helena Bonham Carter as the king's wife was splendid, as she almost always is, the role wasn't showy. The academy has a way in this category of anointing a plucky young newcomer, and the winner will be Hailee Steinfeld, who in fact played the lead in “True Grit,” no matter what the academy thinks. Melissa Leo and Amy Adams will split support for “The Fighter."

    NOTHING IS CERTAIN IN THE OSCARDOME, SO SAYS THE GREAT FATHER EBERT!!! 

    Important piece you need to read.

    “I have this general sense of feeling like I don’t belong, although I talk to a lot of other people who I think of as very much belonging and they have the same feeling, so I think it’s just a room full of insecure actors.”

    Jesse Eisenberg, don’t even bother coming to the Oscars.

     I spoke to Leo today moments after she arrived in New Orleans to resume her role in HBO’s Treme. She explained the ads followed months of her frustration at not being able to land magazine covers, even with all the awards and attention for The Fighter. Leo is 50 years old and she attributes the media’s lack of interest to ageism and because of that and other factors she’s not considered “box office”. “I took matters into my own hands. I knew what I was doing and told my representation how earnest I was about this idea. I had never heard of any actor taking out an ad as themselves and I wanted to give it a shot,” Melissa told me. So she and three friends arranged a special “fun” photo shoot instead of using the usual studio-prepared photo from the film for “For Your Consideration” ads. ZOMG.

    This is like a primary election when you pick who you don’t want to win. I think we can all agree that The Stop Sosh Net From Winning the Best Picture Oscah is in an upswing. As a leader of this campaign I just want to recognize the Andrew Garfield rightful omission from today’s noms, congratulate The King’s Speech for coming out ahead,  and say that this movie is insultingly smug and mediocre.  Thank you for your efforts and please consider donating to the The Fighter for best picture hunger strike.

    Is Trent Reznor’s Oscar (there can’t be one among us who thinks he’ll lose, right?) going to be a gift or a curse?

    YOU, MADAME, ARE NO ABIGAIL BRESLIN.  Why don’t we just throw Natalie Portman’s gestation in the race if we’re considering barely formed zygotes!? *This message has been brought to you by the Melissa Leo Victory Committee
