Oscar Opening

OK. Hugh Jackman. Trying to do a funny Billy Crystal musical opening.

*crickets*

Well, if only.

Hugh Jackman just told Mickey Rourke that he looked great. Hugh Jackman now gets the Oscar for biggest liar.

Well, this is an interesting amalgamation of past winners of Best Supporting Actresses. Our Oscar picks are across the boards, with ballots cast for all five:

Amy Adams (3)
Penelope Cruz (5)
Viola Davis (2)
Taraji P. Henson (4)
Marisa Tomei (1)

......And the winner is....Penelope Cruz

Best animated film. Jennifer Aniston and Jack Black are presenting. That has to be embarrassing, but I'm not entirely sure for which person.

Although are there are bets for all three films, WALL-E is clearly the front runner in the Oscar Pool.

WALL-E (11)


and the winner is...WALL-E

Well... I completely guessed on all things and thus am doing better than any previous year where I actually watched most of the movies. I'm sure I'll lose to the 14 year old in the end. As it should be. :)
