Best Supporting Actor

Feb 22, 2009 - Here's a category that's had a front runner since before the film even came out. I think it's the only category this year with an absolute shoe in for the award. Josh Brolin for Milk Robert Downey Jr. for Tropic Thunder Philip Seymour Hoffman for Doubt Heath Ledger for The Dark Knight Michael Shannon for Revolutionary Road Prediction: Heath Ledger. - 3 Comments

Best Director

Feb 22, 2009 - I love this category- especially when someone unexpected and deserving wins it (see Roman Polanski for The Pianist). This year is a little unusual and, I think, a little predictable as the category is identical to Best Picture: Danny Boyle for Slumdog Millionaire Stephen Daldry for The Reader David Fincher for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Ron Howard for Frost/Nixon Gus Van Sant for Milk Prediction: Danny Boyle. He has a wonderful vision and of these nominees he deserves it the most. - 0 Comments

Best Picture

Feb 22, 2009 - In my opinion, the Best Picture showcase should be mandatory for all voting Academy members. It's an event that really separates the men from the boys, the strong from the weak, and the hardcore filmgoers from the casual audience. Imagine 13 1/2 hours of back to back films, supposedly the best films of the year. - 2 Comments

#13/36 - Milk

Feb 21, 2009 - I saw this film back in November just a few weeks after the election, so I was still in the politics mind set. The film tells the story of Harvey Milk (Sean Penn), California’s first openly gay elected official, who after a life of struggling against oppression, is assassinated by a fellow politician, supervisor Dan White (Josh Brolin). I loved this film and it really struck a chord with me, and I’m sure many fellow Californians as well, as one of Milk’s campaigns against a Prop so closely resembles that of the recent Prop 8. - 3 Comments
