The Oscars: Afterword
Well, for the most part most of my picks came through. Except for two choices that were big surprises to me. Well, maybe not that big.
Supporting Actress: Penelope Cruz? I dunno…it seems Vicky Barcelona is getting wayy too much credit. It was a good movie but not great, in my opinion. It’s a one watcher, not an Oscar Winner. I felt the other actresses were much more down to earth and believable.
Cinematography: Are they never going to give Roger Deakins an Oscar? It’s odd, he is so good because he is invisible and ubiquitous, but he is never given any credit because his work doesn’t “pop” as much as other photographers.
Best Actor: Sean Penn. Like I said earlier, I wanted him to win. I just didn’t think that he deserved it more than Mickey Rourke. I wished both of them could have won (and Penn did give a glorious shoutout to the comeback kid), but it seems that Hollywood truly is a bunch of commie homo-loving sons of guns.
