Abbey-Roads2

Yes, of course, I watch the Academy Awards - I always do.  What is that all about? 

This year Hollywood will be all over the place with sentimental choices, mixed-up as usual with weird political statements and the ultimate affirmation of degenerate morals - and I’m not referring to Ellen.  Here goes - see if I’m correct.

Best Actor in a Supporting Role:  Alan Arkin for “Little Miss Sunshine”.

Best Actress in a Supporting Role:  Jennifer Hudson for “Dream Girls” - although she may have to share it with Abigail Breslin for “Little Miss Sunshine” - it has happened before. 

Best Documentary:  “An Inconvenient Truth” - Hollywood loves Al Gore, and they know he knows that they know he knows what is going on in the climate.

Best Art Direction:  “Pan’s Labyrinth” -because the film deserves the award.

Best Actor: Peter O’Toole as the voyeuristic dirty old man in “Venus” - just because he’s a pig.  

Best Foreign Language Film:  “Pan’s Labyrinth” - Another effort to rally behind the Spanish Civil War and hatred for the Church.  Considering the film is so strange, the members of the Academy will applaud themselves on their intellectual prowess and taste.   “I’m not stupid am I Ollie!”  - Stan Laurel to Oliver Hardy.

Best Director:  Martin Scorsese for “The Departed” - because it is pathetic he never won the Award before this - and he’s a pig too… 

Best Actress:  Helen Mirren for “The Queen” - who else?  Meryl Streep has a closet full of awards.

Best Picture:  “Letters From Iwo Jima” - hands down.

Next, I’ll predict who the new coadjutor will be to replace Archbishop Flynn.  And be sure to check in for my prediction as to the release dates of the Motu Proprio.

Tomorrow I’ll cover Oscar Fashions and tell you what I wore…

(What if Ellen and her ex-wife Ann Heche got into a cat fight tonight?  I hope something happens.  It’s a long show.  All they really would have to do is televise the above awards - who cares about the other categories.)
