Ah, Oscar season, the one time a year when film nerds can talk to pretty girls for more than 30
seconds without crying or getting sweaty palms.
Yes, it is a beautiful time of year.
The film school junkies are angry that “Captain Wes Anderson and the
Obscure Case of Obscurity” didn’t get nominated and Frat Boys are wondering why
The Rock (who will forever remain The Rock, NOT Dwayne Johnson) has STILL yet to get a nomination for Best Actor. But for us film critics, we must subdue our embarrassing
glee for a month and get right to work!
The public looks to us for what/who WE think the winners will be (as if
the Academy actually takes what we lonely, delusional souls think into consideration). Well fair readers, go buy some Mike & Ike’s,
slurp a Slurpee, and kick the seat of the fat guy in front of you, here are my
predictions for the winners of the big awards at the 84th Oscars (let’s hope I flog
Roger Ebert and Peter Travers, maybe then I’ll get a real job!) ROLL THE REEL,
JOHNNY:
Sadly, Owen Wilson did not get a nomination for his role as Woody Allen. |
Cinema’s big night
is fast approaching folks and I’m excited as hell. To all the nominees in every category
(including the ones I didn’t list here) I say hats off to you compadres, best
of luck and I hope it’s a good show!
The Oscars will also
be blowing up my Twitter like a Hydrogen Bomb, so for your tweeting pleasure and
up to the minute news follow me: @DylanMerrick6
HUZZAH! |
