ARE THESE THE LEAKED OSCAR WINNERS?
02.19.09
A no-name blog has posted a cryptic list of what it says are the leaked winners of the 2009 Oscars. Its validity seems slightly doubtful considering the ballots were due at 5 pm Tuesday and the post went up only an hour after that (seems like they’d take longer than that to count, no?). But then again, the Academy are nothing if not predictable old farts, so most of these are still probably a pretty good bet. Here they are:
Actor in a leading role: Mickey Rourke [Yay!]
Actor in a supporting role: Heath Ledger [Duh]
Actress in a leading role: Kate Winslet [Meh?]
Actress in a supporting role: Amy Adams [Sure, why not]
Animated Feature Film: WALL•E [f-ck, I thought Bolt had it locked up]
Art Direction: The Dark Knight
Cinematography: Slumdog Millionaire
Costume Design: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Directing: Slumdog Millionaire
Documentary feature: Man on Wire
Documentary short: The Conscience of Nhem En
Film editing: Milk
Foreign language film: Departures
Makeup: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Music (Score): Defiance
Music (Song): Down to Earth (WALL•E)
Best Picture: Slumdog Millionaire [Duh. Ugh.]
Short film (animated): Presto
Short film (live action): Auf Der Strecke (On The Line)
Sound editing: WALL•E
Sound mixing: The Dark Knight
Visual effects: Iron Man
Writing (Adapted screenplay): The Reader
Writing (Original screenplay): In Bruges
I know, I know, it’s just not the same without Hugh Jackman singing a gay song about them. Speaking of gay, the super secret list of presenters is rumored to include Robert Pattinson, Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Dominic Cooper [ed note: I have no idea who that is], Amanda Seyfried, Beyoncé, and some say, Miley Cyrus. Hooray for half-assed plans to attract younger viewers! Shit, why not just get John Cena to host and call it the People’s Choice Awards? And the best kill sequence set to Limp Bizkit goes to: Saw XVIII…

I heard Sponge Bob was supposed to present with Madonna but she accidentally used him as a tampon.
Every year I hope to see Marky Mark’s fake dong from Boogie Nights present an award.
And every year my hopes are shot down.
If they really wanted to tap into the younger culture and get viewers, they better not have the show on at the same as MTV’s “From G’s to Gents”.
I am in shock that “Best movie ‘bate to” isn’t a category.
So this is just a guess, but based on the sheer number of Disney drones on that list, the Oscars are being aired on ABC this year?
Also, predicting Ledger will win Best Supporting Actor is kinda like predicting the sun will come up in the east, especially now that all of the other nominees lived past the voting deadline.
I’m sort of curious…is Slumdog really that fucking good? The plot sounds goofy as hell.
Are you trying to raise my blood pressure, Jessica?

mwahaha Vince.
But seriously…would you say its better than Dark Knight?
I’m not one of these guys saying The Dark Knight is the best thing since sliced bread, I probably wouldn’t even put it in the top 5 movies of last year. Somewhere between four and seven, probably. But yes, I would say The Dark Knight is far better than Slumdog Millionaire. I just hate movies that constantly stare blatant cliches in the face and then just go full steam ahead. And some clichés make sense, but it seemed like Slumdog had all the worst, most nonsensical ones. I fucking hate it when one character unnecessarily sacrifices himself for another. Such a bogus cliché. Among other things. Goddamn it, now I need another blood pressure pill.
