Of course, I’ll be one of the billions tuned in tomorrow tonight. It should be interesting to see how Anne Hathaway and James Franco will host. If the previews are any indication, it looks like it’ll be fun.
Our office normally does an Oscar predictions pool wherein we all write down our choices for each category; whoever gets the most number of correct answers wins a gift card to something. We didn’t do it this year. (I need to ask Human Resources why…)
I normally catch all, or most of of the Best Picture nominees, before they’re nominated but movies here are expensive, so Kyera and I normally wait for films to run at our local dollar cinema, which is three to four months after their release and everyone else has seen them. I did get to see The King’s Speech and Black Swan.
That being said, my “money’s” on… Colin Firth and The King’s Speech for Best Actor and Best Picture, and Natalie Portman for Best Actress. And Geoffrey Rush for Best Supporting Actor in The King’s Speech.
I just hope that Anne and James can keep me entertained enough to stay awake to see who goes home with what!
Update:
Two out of my three predictions won! Yay Colin and Natalie!
Anne and James tried too hard to make the show young. Billy Crystal should have stayed on stage after his turn.
The stage is starting to grow on us. The backdrops complement the dances. Great touch!
