Well tonights the big night!

And I am all alone, left to watch the Oscars by my self.
That means I am not watching the Oscars.
In fact I really hate award shows.
There is nothing like a bunch of folks all patting themselves on the back,
right after they finish stabbing each other in the back.

My wife is in Florida with the kids and if I know whats good for me, I will not call
her after this show begins. I have never quite understood her fascination with this well
orchestrated hoax, but its one of her big TV nights of the year, so I best not fuck it up for her.
However, I do know that when any of the following movies are on TV,
I demand absolute silence as if I had never seen them before. So I figure it must somehow
roughly translate to her need to watch the Oscars.

Jaws
The Godfather
Bridge over the River Kwai
Animal House
Caddyshack
( there are at least 30 more, but these are the ones that pop into mind)


That leaves me to my Oscar picks as I cant resist a good bet, well this is not really a good bet
as I have not seen one of these movies and have heard even less, it really makes me a perfect juror
for this with complete objectivity.


I will stick with the Big 5, although I have odds on one of the Key Grips!

BEST PICTURE
"No Country for Old Men" (Miramax and Paramount Vantage)

PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE
Tommy Lee Jones in "In the Valley of Elah" (Warner Independent)

PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Philip Seymour Hoffman in "Charlie Wilson’s War" (Universal)

PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE
Marion Cotillard in "La Vie en Rose" (Picturehouse)

PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE

My criteria for these picks was based on me cutting and pasting all the nominations from a
list on Varietys web page and then randomly deleting 4 out of 5 of those picks.
Science!

You know , when you do a search on the internet for Awards Shows,
you find all kind of interesting stuff!

I guess you already know where I am going with this, but I highly suggest you
take a moment to see just how far the Adult Film Industry has come. ( I kill me. )

Now I am not sure where you were on January 12th, but I was glued to the network airing
of the 25th annual AVN awards.

Let me tell you something, this is a "Classy Event" with David Navvaro and Artie Lang making guest
appearances , its downright mainstream.

There are more categories at this awards show than the Oscars by far.
The actors , actresses, producers, well just about everybody you can see in the photo's just seem
happier than the so called main stream performers at the Oscar ceremony.

As I scrolled down the winners list, I realized this is truly an ethical honest awards ceremonies where
plain old folks judge each other for there work and not for all the petty Hollywood politics.

Who could argue that the awards were given where due when you glance at just a small
few winners from the list...

Who could argue this one?
