Who's Excited for Oscar Weekend?!

It's that time of the year again, time for the Oscars, where the best movies of the past year compete for a little golden man trophy! This year there are some interesting nominees and some close races, plus the Best Picture category was extended from 5 nominees to 10 this year for the first time since 1943. I'm going to list the 6 main categories and my predictions for who is going to win below.


Best Picture:
Avatar - My pick
The Blind Side
District 9
An Education
The Hurt Locker
Inglourious Basterds
Precious
A Serious Man
Up
Up in the Air

I'm rooting for Avatar to win the main prize for sure. Not only is it the highest grossing movie of all time at the box office, it is also the most visually stunning and the most entertaining, fun, and memorable movie I've saw in years. Sure The Hurt Locker is also a great movie and in a year without Avatar, I would say it was going to win 100%, but in my opinion Avatar > all the other nominees.

Best Actor:
Jeff Bridges, Crazy Heart - My pick
George Clooney, Up in the Air
Colin Firth, A Single Man
Morgan Freeman, Invictus
Jeremy Renner, The Hurt Locker

All signs point to Jeff Bridges winning this one. George was great in Up in the Air but I don't know, it seemed like such an effortless performance. Jeremy gave a gripping performance in The Hurt Locker but it doesn't have the heart that Jeff Bridges performance does. Jeff Bridges gives an authentic, emotional, and he totally brings this tragic alcoholic into reality.

Best Actress:
Sandra Bullock, The Blind Side
Helen Mirren, The Last Station
Carey Mulligan, An Education
Gabourey Sidibe, Precious
Meryl Streep, Julie & Julia - My pick

I feel this is a tight race and everyone nominated deserves it, but we all know the race is truly only between Sandra and Meryl. I love both of these actresses and in fact they are my two current favorite actresses. Meryl is like the definition of Oscar, having been nominated a record 16 times, having won only 2 though and she hasn't taken one home since 1983. Sandra is a veteran actress who has always been more of a crowd-pleaser actress; she has done a lot of commercial fare(such as Miss Congeniality and Speed) and this is her first nomination. Honestly, I want Sandra to win, I would love to see her win, she has always been one of my favorite actresses, but I have this feeling Meryl is going to finally take home another Oscar, which isn't a bad thing and I'll be happy if Meryl wins too, but I'd rather see Sandra take it, I just feel like Meryl will, so she is my pick for the win.

Best Supporting Actor:
Matt Damon, Invictus
Woody Harrelson, The Messenger
Christopher Plummer, The Last Station
Stanley Tucci, The Lovely Bones
Christoph Waltz, Inglourious Basterds - My pick

Best Supporting Actress:
Penélope Cruz, Nine
Vera Farmiga, Up in the Air
Maggie Gyllenhaal, Crazy Heart
Anna Kendrick, Up in the Air
Mo’Nique, Precious - My pick


This year the supporting actor/actresses races are over before they even really began. We all know who is going to win both of these categories because the two clear front-runners gave such gripping, mesmerizing, fantastic performances. Christoph Waltz and Mo'Nique are of course who I am talking about. Christoph Waltz as Col. Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds, is so good it scares me. Every scene he is in, it makes me nervous, I can feel the tension in the room. It was a gripping performance and he totally deserves to win, the same with Mo'Nique. Her performance as Mary Jones in Precious makes me feel the same as Col. Hans Landa. Mo'Nique's performance was undeniably crazy and was transformed into a monster and showed so much emotion. So yeah, these two categories aren't even a race, however I'd like to say I loved Vera and Anna in Up in the Air, especially Vera, my runner-up choice.

Best Director:
Kathryn Bigelow, The Hurt Locker - My pick
James Cameron, Avatar
Lee Daniels, Precious
Jason Reitman, Up in the Air
Quentin Tarantino, Inglourious Basterds

Another tight race, and this time it is between exes. Kathryn Bigelow and James Cameron, both great directors, their movies are like total opposites, David vs. Goliath-type thing. Avatar the 700 million dollar+ visually stunning, beautiful, blockbuster vs. the 13 million dollar gritty, indie war action-drama. I want Cameron to win this just because I love Avatar so much and I feel he did a phenomenal job creating this fascinating world, but I think Kathryn will probably win. Not only will she be the first female director winner, but she has swept almost all the pre-oscar award races, plus much of Hollywood think James Cameron is an egotistical prick. I want Cameron to win, but Bigelow is my pick for who is going to win.

Well that's the six main Oscar categories. Agree or disagree with my picks? It is going to be an interesting Oscar night either way, be sure to tune on Sunday @8:30PM EST on ABC for the telecast!

Youtube's Closed Captions..

Youtube now has the option to turn on closed-captions (for the hearing impaired) on some of its videos, and it is unintentionally hilarious. I feel sorry for deaf people who actually need to use this feature, they must get very confused or think they're on an acid trip. Here are just a few of the gems I found:





And saving the best for last:

American Idol down to 'Sweet 16'

American Idol results shows are always like 75% time-filler and 25% sending people home, tonight was no different. Tonight opened with an over dramatic, totally pointless clip montage followed by a excruciating group performance of the Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling", which at least provided a few laughs, if not anything else.

The boys were the first up tonight with Tim Urban dodging yet another bullet in Superman fashion. The only thing keeping him in this competition is tween girls and his abs, and maybe Vote for the Worst. Luckily there were at least 3 other guys who were worthy of going home this week, so it is okay to delay the inevitable with Tim until next week. The not so lucky guys that didn't survive the night were John Park and Jermaine Sellers, thank you America. I haven't liked Jermaine ever, he was over-confident, annoying, and needed to be brought back down to Earth. John was alright at his audition but hasn't wowed me since then, it was his time to go.

After a bland performance from my least favorite contestant of last year, Danny Gokey, the girls had their fates dealt to them. Michelle Delamor was sent packing first. I kind of felt sorry for Michelle, how could she not know that everyone hates Creed? She wasn't that bad, and there were more deserving of the walk of shame, but I feel even if she made it top top 12 I don't think she would have made it past the top 8. Next up, Haeley Vaughn and Lacey Brown were brought center stage to both be told they were going home this week and they would never be allowed to sing again. If only. In reality, just Haeley was sent home, another right choice by America! Lacey better pack her bags for next week though. I hate how the producers make the losers sing before they leave, I mean its just not a very good idea. Why would the contestants want to sing the song that got them sent home before they leave? And why would America want to hear it? At the end of the show when Haeley was forced to re-sing "The Climb" it was like the slaughter of the lambs, I just turned off my TV so I hope I didn't miss anything.

Anyways, are you happy with who got sent home? I am very happy with the results, America got 3/4 right this week, hopefully Tim and Lacey meet their makers next week. Leave comments below~

Lady Gaga could duet with Britney

Wouldn't this just be a gay glitter dream wrapped in a Adam Lambert's scrotum! Apparently, Lady Gaga’s father arranged for her to duet with Spears while she was in the bathroom at the Grammy Awards. And thanks to that conversation, we may soon be hearing these two pop divas collide as soon as Lady’s Monster Ball tour wraps up. Gaga originally penned the song “Telephone” for Spears but she never used it on an album so Beyonce and Lady Gaga released it on their own. Speaking of "Telephone" Gaga just tweeted:



So I assume the video will be released very soon. I'm looking forward to it, "Bad Romance" was amazing.

American Idol Top 10 Girls Recap: "Some Marked... Some Horrific"

Finally! For the first night this season I actually enjoyed at least half of the performances, it felt like normal Idol and not like I was being fed the musical equivalent of fruit cake. The night started off with the conclusion of the Crystal Bowersox "medical issue", that I think FOX milked for all it was worth. She seemed a little pale but she was there to perform and she started off the night.

Crystal Bowersox: Surprisingly Crystal went first tonight, I figured she would be last to keep viewers glued to their seats. Crystal sang "Long As I Can See The Light" by Creedence Clearwater Revival, and sounded better than ever. Ellen said she had "raw natural talent" and Simon said he saw her as a "really serious artist" now.

Haeley Vaughn: Haeley, doing her best to keep her VFTW title, did Miley Cyrus' "The Climb" It was better than last week I think, but that isn't saying much. She can caterwaul as good as Miley at least. The judges comments were all pretty much bad. Simon called it a "complete and utter mess."

Lacey Brown: Lacey did a thousand times better this week with Sixpence Non the Richer's "Kiss Me" than she did last week with her atrocious version of "Landslide", but it still wasn't that great. It was decent, a little off key, a little drunken karaoke-ish. Kara said it was a "step in the right direction" which I agree with.

Katie Stevens: Ok let me start out by saying I think Katie has a good voice, however, she is picking the wrong songs and she is seeming...I don't know, kind of out-dated I guess. Katie did Corrine Bailey Rae's "Put Your Records On". It's a newer song but it still just doesn't seem to fit very well with Katie. It was kind of a boring performance and it seemed like she was trying really hard to be all sultry. The judges kept bringing up her age and talked about it a lot, telling her to sing a song by an artist under 20...which I think is terrible advice. "Age ain't nothin but a number" and most songs by the under 20 set are total crap.

Didi Benami: I love Didi because of her "meowing" I meow a lot myself. Yes, really. Anyways, Didi did Bill Withers "Lean on Me" which I feel was a wrong song choice and a boring one. She sang it pretty well in my opinion but the judges didn't seem to like it at all. Simon called it a "wasted opportunity" and Didi was on the verge of tears. I think she is safe for next week though, I'd be shocked if she went home.

Michelle Delamor: Ugh. I hate Creed. Michelle did Creed's "With Arms Wide Open" and it made me yawn. It was pitchy and just didn't seem to suit her. I loved her dress tho and so did the judges. Kara actually liked the performance saying "I bought it, I bought you" but no. Michelle is a pretty girl with an okay voice, she will probably make it another week.

Lilly Scott: Lilly seems like a very soulful and unique person, she's different and I like it. She sang Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come" and it was a passionate performance, it wasn't perfect but it was good. Simon said Lilly and Crystal were the same kind of singer and that he thought Crystal was better, which is true.

Katelyn Epperly: Katelyn sang an unexpected song, she did Coldplay's "The Scientist" which is one of my favorite Coldplay songs. Katelyn's version was kind of beautiful and haunting in a way, but she slowed it down so much.. I will say she has a nice voice and a nice look thought, just wish she didn't do such a slow version, I definitely think she deserves a spot in the top 12 now though.

Paige Miles: While more pleasant than last week, Paige was still a little bland to me. She did Kelly Clarkson's "Walk Away" which Kara wrote by the way, incase you missed Kara talking about it for 5 minutes. Simon said Paige "Gets lost in the songs" and I agree again, Paige just doesn't seem to memorable to me, I think she could be going home.

Siobhan Magnus: I loved Siobahn's performance tonight, she is so strange and unique. She did Aretha Franklin's "Think" and she did it quite well, it may have been a little pitchy at times but overall I loved it. The high note near the end was great, the judge's loved the high note as well, saying it was "incredible". I think she is a wildly passionate singer and I hope she makes the top 12.

What did you think of the top 10 girls? Much better than the boys right? Who do you think is going home? My guesses are...Paige and Lacey or Haeley for the girls, Jermaine and Todrick or Tim for the guys, the Vote For the Worst and tween crowds could keep Haeley and Tim in though. Oh and did you listen to the judges pile on the support for Crystal at the end of the show, they all basically said she's the current one to beat. Anyways, I'm tired of talking about American Idol for the night, time to watch some Jersey Shore season 1 uncensored on DVD! I wish I was joking.

Wonka candy company launches real-life Golden ticket contest!

When I was a kid I always wished this part of the book would happen in real life. I always thought about finding a golden ticket when I opened any candy bar. Well now it can actually happen with Wonka's promotion for its new candy bars called Wonka Exceptionals. 10 Wonka Exceptional bars across the U.S. will have a golden ticket inside. The prize for finding a golden ticket is a pretty sweet deal, from Wonka's website: "You will get a Trip Around the World: four destinations, three travel companions, and $12,500 to spend as you see fit. We’ll give you a place to stay, you bring the fun. This might just be the grandest prize ever!"

Will you be buying any chocolate bars because of this contest? I'll probably buy a few myself, but I'm not gonna go crazy with it, I hope there are some people like Veruca Salt out there though.

American Idol Top 10 Guys Night Recap

These guys are really the Top 10 guys the judges chose? Really? So far this season of American Idol has been one big yawn fest of mediocracy(Urban Dictionary's definition is quite fitting: A society in which people with little (if any) talent and skill are dominant and highly influential.) I liked maybe 2 or 3 of the guy's performances tonight, the rest all ranged from "just alright for me dawg" to downright terrible. We got off to a strong start to the night, then everything just went downhill from there for the most part.

Michael "Big Mike" Lynche: Big Mike had the misfortune to go first but he upped his game and did considerably better than last week. His soulful teddy bear version of James Brown's "It's a Man's World" was pretty good and got a standing ovation out of Randy. It was my favorite performance of his to date, I think he's a sure bet for the top 12.

John Park: The asian choir boy did his best rendition of John Mayer's "Gravity" that he could muster but it still sounded like a warbling disaster. It was kind of flat and Simon called it a "so what?" performance. John may be in danger this week, although I think there are more worthy contenders for the Idol journey video montage.

Casey James: Is it me or his hair getting blonder, shinier, and more curly each week. The first word that popped in my mind when I saw him tonight was Goldilocks. Anyway, Casey did an okay version of Gavin DeGraw's "I Don't Want to Be" and he played an electric guitar while he sang. Unfortunately the guitar playing was better than the vocals but I'm sure he is in no danger of going home. The shocker of the night was Kara actually saying something bad about her object of lust, saying Casey "took two steps back" in her eyes for the mediocre performance.

Alex Lambert: This guy may share the same last name as last season's glam rocker, Adam Lambert, but that is about the only thing they have in common, however, Alex did perform rather well last tonight. He did a version of John Legend's "Everybody Knows" with his guitar and was "a million times better than last week" according to Simon. I thought he was good, he is not my favorite, but he is endearing enough to be in the top 12.

Todrick Hall: Todrick was all over the place again this week. He chose another odd song choice, Tina Turner's "What's Love Got to Do With It", and he sang it only so-so, and it sounded a little weird to me. Ellen suggested he dance more, and then Simon suggested he "move but don't sing," which I think is good advice.

Jermaine Sellers: This guy makes me cringe. I don't like him very much and I don't think he should be in the top 20. He did a flat version of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On?" tonight and for the second week in a row made me hit mute. Please leave Thursday night, how could anyone not related to this guy be voting for him?

Andrew Garcia: Andrew, Andrew, Andrew. Tonight was another "meh" night for me with Andrew. He did James Morison's "You Give Me Something" and it was just alright. I really enjoyed his version of "Straight Up" but I agree with Kara when she said Andrew set the bar too high at the start and has kept disappointing since then. He needs a snort of fairy dust and a dash of glitter, something to get the magic back or I don't think he'll make it very far past the top 12.

Aaron Kelly: The 16-year-old did the Temptation's "My Girl" and although it was an "old-fashioned arrangement" according to Simon, he still sung it well and will probably be sticking around another week.

Tim Urban: The last minute replacement who totally bombed and took a critical beating last week with One Republic's "Apologize" redeemed himself a little this week with one of my favorite songs, Matt Nathanson's "Come on Get Higher". It wasn't great but it was good, Ellen suggested he tryout for Glee, which I think is kind of a good idea, and Simon actually praised his worth ethic and attitude...if not his voice.

Lee Dewyze: Closing the night was Lee with an emotionally charged performance of Hinder's "Lips of an Angel". It wasn't too bad, it is not really my cup of tea but he did a good job and is drawing comparisons to David Cook. Simon said something that I don't completely agree with, saying Lee "may be the one to beat" I personally don't think any of the guys deserve that title, but we'll see.

Who was your favorite guy singer? Who do you hope gets shipped off to reality TV obscurity Thursday night? Tomorrow night is the top 10 girls night, hopefully with Crystal Bowersox, who caused the Idol schedule change last night with her "medical emergency" rumored to be diabetes related. I'll post a recap of the ladies' performances along with my predictions of who's going home sometime tomorrow.

American Idol Schedule Change

In a last-minute scheduling change, American Idol’s top 10 males semifinalists will perform on tonight’s live telecast, instead of the season 9 female contestants, “due to medical issues that would prevent Crystal Bowersox from performing,” according to a Fox spokesperson.

Not Bowersox! I hope she is alright, she is one of the few bright spots so far this season. Oh and by the way, while I'm posting this, don't forget to check out the premiere of Parenthood on NBC after Idol! The return of Lorelai Gilmore(Lauren Graham) is a must-see.

Smokey's Island vs. Simon's Swan Song

Another Tuesday night is upon us and that means it is time for more American Idol, which is Simon Cowell's final season, and the final season of Lost!(and in about a month's time, my personal favorite, Glee, will be on Tuesday nights as well.)



The top 10 girls of American Idol will be performing tonight and the top 10 guys tomorrow night. If anyone watched last week's shows, you know that most if not all of the singers delivered less than stellar performances. It was horrible, I cringed at some of the vocals and had to hug my Rainbow Brite doll tight to save me from the likes of Ashley Rodriguez, who America wisely didn't vote for, and Tim Urban, who may look nice shirtless, but sounds worse than me singing Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" on karaoke Wednesday at Mary's Attic. Sadly America voted for him and he will still be singing this week. At least we have Didi Benami & Crystal Bowersox to look forward to!

As for Lost, tonight's episode is titled Sundown. The only synopsis given is "Sayid faces a difficult decision, and Claire sends a warning to the temple inhabitants." So look forward to some revelations on the "is Sayid good or evil?" front and more of this:

Cast of Dancing with the 4.99 DVD Stars Announced!

So it looks like most of the rumors were true about this year's cast. Here's the full roster of mirrorball trophy enthusiasts who will attempt to dance their way out of obscurity and D-listdom:

• Buzz Aldrin: He was the second person to set foot on the moon, and now, at 80, he's the oldest man to ever compete on DWTS. Quick somebody call Life Alert.

• Pam Anderson: Dancing in slow motion and Baywatch theme ready for action.

• Erin Andrews: Had to Google this bitch, apparently she is an ESPN reporter and has had nude pics leaked by a stalker. I'm gay so you can think of the reasons I have never heard of her.

• Shannen Doherty: Brenda Walsh. Prue Halliwell. 'Nuff said. This bitch is in it to win it I'm sure, I could totally see her kicking some Gosselin ass.

• Kate Gosselin: Infamous fame whore/mother of 8 chia pets. Be on watch for Jon Gosselin to claw his way on to the DWTS stage if this bitch lasts longer than a week.

• Evan Lysacek: The hot, Olympic gold medal-winning figure skater is passing on the 2010 World Championship for a shot at the disco ball trophy. Insert gay figure skating joke about balls here.

• Niecy Nash: Loved her on Reno 911, better hold on to that weave girl.

• Chad Ochocinco: Mmm this yummy chocolate man is a football player for the Cincinatti Bengals and a six-time Pro Bowler. Is 'Ochocinco' really his last name tho? 8 5? Oh I get it, its his dick size 8" by 5".

• Jake Pavelka: ABC's current favorite pet. The Bachelorette, The Bachelor, and now this. At least he is kinda cute with his shirt off.

• Nicole Scherzinger: I don't know what this doll is doing here, she's basically a professional dancer already. Maybe she needs to feel good about herself because her solo career was a flop and the rest of the Pussycat Dolls hate her.

• Aiden Turner: Playing the "hot Soap Opera star" card, will he do Gilles Marini and Cristián de la Fuente proud? If his abs are just as chiseled I think he will do alright.

Well that's all folks! Do you like this year's contestants? I'll be watching for my favorite bitch Brenda, gotta watch out for sabotage from Alyssa Milano though, security better be on their toes.

This is Not a Joke

While browsing through Tumblr the other day I .. tumbled across 2 of the most random tumblrs that have ever been created:

Selleck Waterfall Sandwich



Bea Arthur Mountains Pizza

Ke¢ha Ke¢ha Ke¢ha err... Blah Blah Blah

"Singer" Ke$ha's new music video for her latest single Blah Blah Blah. This song is almost as annoying as "My Humps". I wonder who writes this stuff?

Current Obsessions

I go through many obsessions, this will be a weekly post of things I am totally obsessing over--for this week anyway.


Robot. Unicorn. Attack.


I love this game, it is kind of addicting and completely gay. Click here to play! http://games.adultswim.com/robot-unicorn-attack-twitchy-online-game.html
