Could JJ Abrams “Star Trek” actually win “Best Picture”???

Look like the Star Trek franchise can actually land their first Oscar win for “Best Picture”, because there is a huge buzz going around the movie sites online, that the film could get a nomination. I agree, it deserves a nomination ’cause the film is a beautiful film. I love it to death. Could the Star Trek franchise actually be lucky to win one? None of the Star Trek movies from the past never got a nomination before.

If JJ’s “Star Trek” actually gets the win for “Best Picture” in 2010, that would be very surprising. I have a feeling that the Best Picture win will either go to “Precious”, “Inglourious Basterds” or “Avatar”…but “Star Trek” can actually get it.

It would be nice if something different wins the Oscars. “Star Trek” is a mix of action and sci fi, the new film. I would love it if it got the win for “Best Picture”, I don’t see it happening.

What I want in bodybuilding…

When people think of me getting into bodybuilding, some would assume that I would want to be a giant. You know, those type of giant bodybuilders you see in the Mr. Olympia competitions with the likes of Arnold, Flex Wheeler, or Lou Farrigno. Sorry but that’s not what I’m going for.

I just simply want a medium sized built, that’s what I’m aiming for. Just to tone my body up and to look a little better when just wearing nothing but shorts or whatever. I don’t like being flat chested and having thin arms, and am doing my best to change that. I feel I’m doing a decent job even with no trainer.

I still need to work on my nutrition more which is still being planned on and my New year’s resolution for 2010 is to hopefully keep a very strict nutrition plan.

As I said before, I’m not doing this for a profesional career or nothing, just want to get fit for myself.

Possible Oscar 2010 winners…

I know it’s early, but I’m going to predict some possible winners of the Oscars 2010. I might do a prediction thing again later this year, ’cause my predictions should change.

Here they are:

Best Picture: Either “Precious”, “Inglourious Basterds”, “Avatar” will get the one. We know those three films will get the nominations anyway.

Best Director: Either Quentin Tarantino, Lee Daniels or James Cameron are top three choices.

Best Actor: Morgan Freeman might get another Oscar for this role in “Invictus”, although I haven’t seen the film yet.

Best Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz “Inglourious Basterds”, this guy will get it no matter what happens.

Best Actress: Gabby Sidibe from “Precious” will get it no matter what happens.

Best Supporting Actress: Anna Kendrick for “Up In the Air”. Noticing she’s a Twilight actress, the votes might all go to her.

Thought: It’s not the PG rating that’s destroying WWE, DX and the celebrity guest hosts is…

I think the reason that so many people have been turned off by WWE’s current direction lately, is not because of their PG family friendly rating. Here is the problem.

I think the problem is that the WWE has turned itself into a mainstream family show, instead of an “actual” wrestling show like it once used to be in the 90’s.

All these celebrity guests hosts, is the big part of this thing. I don’t like this celebrity host thing at all WWE is doing with RAW. It’s silly. We don’t need celebrities in wrestling. The wrestling superstars are the celebrities themselves. What Vince doesn’t realize is that these celebs that host a RAW episode each week is overshadowing the star power of these wrestlers.

Another thing that is hurting WWE, is the new D Generation X tag team with Shawn Michaels and Triple H. Aren’t these guys a little too old for a gimmick like this? DX was great in their younger days during the Attitude era, but today? LOL! DX is way past their time. I’m sure the veteran wrestling fans like myself want Triple H and Shawn Michaels to end DX and go back to performing solo like they are best at. The only reason that WWE brought DX back full time is to help hype up this PG rating thing and to build a fanbase with children.

I actually have no problem with a family friendly WWE ’cause that’s how they started back in the 80’s. They don’t need DX and these lame celebrity hosts.

They need to stop these celebrity hosts and go back to the General Manager thing. Plus, I’m sure the WWE champ title switching back and forth to Randy Orton to John Cena all the time is getting boring as well.

I haven’t been watching RAW for these reasons. If they can go back to an actual wrestling show, I’ll start watching again. These days, WWE has almost been like a fucking circus or Disney’s on ice or something.

Yep, that’s right, “As the World Turns” will be soon booted off the air. The show will air it’s finale in September, then they will stop production and writing for good.
