Here's the list of nominees for this year's Academy Awards.

Obvious omission: no Christopher Nolan for Best Director.

My thoughts:

Best Picture: The Social Network
Best Director: I don't think David Fincher can or should get this for TSN, so I'm going out of the box with Darren Aronofsky.
Best Actor: Colin Firth
Best Actress: Natalie Portman
Best Supporting Actor: Christian Bale
Best Supporting Actress: Helena Bonham Carter (I HOPE, although I think Melissa Leo has a chance and if they really want to go out of the box they'll go Jacki Weaver)
Best Animated: Toy Story 3
Best Original Screenplay: The King's Speech
Best Adapted Screenplay: The Social Network

The only really good thing I got out of this: James Franco is now an Oscar nominated actor, FUCK YEAH. Otherwise, I don't think this year is going to be a tight race, and I think Inception got shafted.

Oscars: Yes, lovely, no big surprises (except Tilda Swinton, which was a nice surprise and not so much an 'upset') and the movies I liked won (and, equally importantly, the films I didn't like didn't win.) Everyone looked pretty. I kind of adore Amy Adams.

Best line: "Normally, when you see a black man or a woman president, an asteroid is about to hit the Statue of Liberty" - Jon Stewart

Sucky thing: We didn't see Best Documentary Short or Best FOREIGN FILM here. The first I get, but wtf, foreign film?!?! Can you say GLARING OMISSION?

I was staying away from the internet all day to avoid Oscar spoilers, so no links.

ETA: My last two posts in a row have received absolutely no comments. Are you all off partying somewhere without me??

I forgot to mention in my review that I got all excited about the Death Eater reunion in Sweeney Todd. Bellatrix, Peter and Snape! Seems appropriate, somehow.

Has anyone seen this IMDb 'Road to the Oscars' page? Methinks there may be a pattern forming...

Schedule for remaining Supernatural episodes (including episode titles, so don't read if you think they're spoilers.) Nightshifter!!

Gossip about a TV actor who wants to make it big but can't. Speculation? I haven't come across a name I agree with much as of yet.

GIP! Support your Oscar team here.

Entertainment Weekly's Oscar snubs. Children of Men is being absolutely and shamelessly rorted and it isn't fair.

I didn't know Ellen was hosting the Oscars! Not quite as good as Jon Stewart, but good enough. I like her.

[livejournal.com profile] _bliss POSTED MORE CHRIS LOWELL AT SUNDANCE. AKA THAT ADORABLE GLASSES PIC FROM BEFORE, AKA BEST THING EVER.

Heroes cast to be at Paley!! March 10 at 7 pm, if you heard it here first say hi to Masi for me! I love him so much.

Supernatural spoilers from Ausiello. I like the bit about Tricia Helfer's episode, I like when they try new things.

John Shiban interview.

Kripke interview.

Dohring interview, quotables on Piz, and out doing stuff.

Muhney interview. I adore him.

Billy Boyd interview that mentions a reunion with Dom (YAY!)

Dom, Milo, Jensen and others Kerrspam.

Ton of Katee Sackhoff pics.

OSCAR NOMINATIONS!

Children of Men was nominated for two it should win if there's any justice in the world, but not Best Picture (which, I guess there's no justice after all). Little Miss Sunshine got nominated for Best Picture though! I hope Departed smashes Babel. I should see Babel, at least.

ETA: [livejournal.com profile] grrliz posted portions of an entertaining interview of Cate Blanchett, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Forest Whitaker, and [livejournal.com profile] dryope made Bambam Spam.

ETA2: Meme from [livejournal.com profile] indilime and [livejournal.com profile] viennawaits.


Below is a list of all the films nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award since 1970 (with the winning picture at the top of the list for each year, with the exception of 2006). Bold the ones you've seen.


Is your favourite on The List? )

I'm amazed not only at the number of films I've never heard of (and I'm a film geek here) but at the number that I thought were terrible.

GO MARKY MARK.

I've had a total rollercoaster of a day.

It started off terribly, I was woken up at about 7 with a splitting headache that pretty much never went away. I went to see Pirates 2, which I enjoyed a huge amount, but I also had two huge screaming matches with my sister and my migraine was bad enough I couldn't see for about 5 minutes at one point and I had to call in sick to work. I almost fell asleep during The Two Towers, which is pretty much an inexcusable travesty for me. Now I'm pretty much wrecked.

Dead. Jensen and Jared and gay and masturbation and nudity and...just...dead.

Snakes on a Plane song on MySpace, link from [livejournal.com profile] jenish, as is the one above. I might upload the song later, but now I'm too tired.

ETA: All Your Snakes are Belong To Us.

New Ari Gold fic! [livejournal.com profile] hackthis wrote NEW ARI BITCH. If you like RPS, or Superman, or fanfiction at all, go read it now.

Lloyd is Ari's assistant for a reason. He doesn't even hesitate when he says, "Brandon Routh. Born in 1979. Iowa. Ex-Model who was on One Life to Live for a bit. Most recently represented by IMTA."

Ari's eyebrow rises of its own accord. "IMTA? What the fuck is that? I Might Take it in the Ass?"

Damn, I wanna see Entourage.

Emmy nominations. WTF NO LOST. Seriously. What the fucking fuck.

Jake and Heath join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, along with Keira and Dakota Fanning. Clearly a weak attempt to correct their big Best Picture mistake, as is usual with the Academy, but this can't be bad - at least there'll be some new, non-homophobic blood in one of the most conservative institutions left in Hollywood.

So yeah, this morning I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - spoiler free!! )

8 out of 10.

Tonight I saw Eurotrip )

Scotty Doesn't Know: 10/10
Everything else: 4/10

I think if there's one way of reaching out to the people here tonight about the difficulties of being a pimp, it's through the medium of interpretive dance. - Jon Stewart

OSCAR PICSPAM! Jake, Heath, Joaquin, George, Jon, Ang, two Maggies, Joey, Lance, basically any pics I stole from txvoodoo, dryope, lillithlotr and various communities that I like )

Nifty Jossverse quote icons.

DVD Clip 4. Rob = rugged and manly.

Bunnies, bunnies it must be BUNNIES!
No midgets, just King Kong and Brokeback Mountain reenacted in 30 seconds by bunnies.

I am going to make icons of these caps. Yes. Also these Maggie pics. MY WIFE IS SO HOT.
ETA: Made the Maggie ones, but you will have to wait for them. I made some of the recent Evi shoot and plan to make some Emilie ones too, and I'm posting them all together.

I hereby change all my official Oscar guesses for who will win Best Supporting Actor to Jake Gyllenhaal. I don't care if I'm right or not. A couple of years ago I went with my head not my heart and the person I liked best had a complete shock win. I can't let that be Jake.

Yes, I take the Oscars WAY too seriously.

WTF?!? I clicked the email link and the subject line said my site was EXPIRED. You don't think they could, I don't know, TELL ME SHIT LIKE THIS?! Especially since I PAID for the fucking site on the 24th of February, which is less than 2 weeks ago.
I have now written a pissy email.

So, tonight at about midnight I finally got around to watching Crash )

Conclusion: Actors good, Michael Pena, Don Cheadle, Terrence Howard and Ryan Phillippe all very pretty boys, but I'd rather see cowboys making out kthanks. And I missed Tony Danza somehow!!! I mustn't have been paying attention all that well.

6 out of 10.

Feel free to discuss in comments.

ETA: if D:LA2 were about 2 or 3 weeks later I could come :(

In my inexpert opinion, this last 'Oscar year' has been an excellent one for movies.

I've heard a lot that the actual box-office earnings have been lower than average this year. I think part of that is the fact that there's a lot of really good programming coming back to TV, but I also think I've seen some really excellent movies this year. For instance, tonight I saw...

Good Night, and Good Luck )

9 out of 10

I also watched Poltergeist the whole way through for the first time today. Not a bad movie - largely not scary (except the bit with the bugs in the face), but not bad.

The 4 Meme )

The Five Factor Personality Test )

[livejournal.com profile] pippinmctaggart wrote some gorgeous little Dom/Billy drabbles with pictures you should go check out. Lovely!

Daily Dom Dose, with a little bonus George Clooney Is A Dork )

Just LISTENING to this song makes my heart ache.

[livejournal.com profile] corellianjedi tagged me. And since she recently bequeathed unto me [livejournal.com profile] indlime's soul AND hand for an icon of Josh Holloway, I figured I should probably oblige. *g*

Ground Rules: Name your Top 20 List Of Lust, in no particular order. Your neighbor or grade school teacher doesn't count. The list can be male, female or mixed. They can be real life celebrities or characters in a movie or TV show. For example, you might want to gag Mariska Hargitay, while still lusting after Butchy McFabulous Olivia Benson. Tag 5 people on your flist to do this meme.

My Lust List )

I assure you, as I got towards the end of that list it was a fight for who went in and who was left out. On another day I probably would have included different people. Oh well.

OSCAR NOMINATIONS!!!!!!

Who didn't tell me Jon Stewart was hosting this year's Oscars?! You're all fired. I adore him.

Oscar noms, my hopes & my predictions )

Caps of Dom on Leno here. Icons to come, promise.

It's hard out here for a pimp
