I think Thomas Newman deserved to win on his first nomination, but alas it wasn't to be, as great as The Lion King's score is. He should definitely have a whole draw full of oscars by now.
Lawyer gets involved in the drugs trade. Shit gets fucked up... written by the great Cormac McCarthy. He'll be my year early call for screenplay because he's v. respected.
Clooney, O. Russell if his movie comes out this year, John Wells, nobody knows who this guy is but if August Osage County is gonna be big.... Also maybe Alfonso Cuaron if Gravity ends up being that directorial achievement everything thinks it's gonna be, also maybe Ridley Scott... though it's more likely someone making some movie I know nothing about yet.
OK, this'll look stupid in a year. Yay!
Christian Bale - ABSCAM movie
Steve Carrell - Foxcatcher
Bruce Dern - Nebraska
Leonardo DiCaprio - Wolf of Wall Street
Tom Hanks - Saving Mr. Banks
I thought she was pretty funny. Her and Jon Stewart were the best oscar hosts of all the 2000s shows, even if they're the two with the least to do with movies.
Anonymous director tells us what he/she is voting for in every category... and I sure hope the way they think is not representative. Yeah, this director is not voting for Quvenzhane because he can't say her name and he's not voting for Lawrence because he didn't like her on SNL. Dumb.

Oh, they're gonna finish the show with a big musical number w/ Macfarlane and Kristen Chenoweth! It's like they don't want me to watch the show!
