Report: Sacha Baron Cohen was rejected to host the Oscars…

Aaaaaahhh, so this is why we’re getting Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin to host the Oscars. Simply because, Sacha Baron Cohen was rejected to host. This is very dissapointing ’cause I would have really liked to see Sascha host the Oscars. It would have been a LOL riot fest for sure. Can you see Sacha bringing back Borat and Ali G to the stage for one last time at the Oscars show? I can. What about Bruno presenting an award? I like Sacha, he’s a funny guy and entertaining. Oh well, maybe Sacha will be at the Oscars this year anyways to present an award instead?

Is Alec Baldwin depressed again???

I remember when Alec Baldwin did a Playboy interview a while back, he admitted to being suicidal in the past. Now it looks like he’s being suicidal again. I guess he wasn’t lying when he says he’s a suicidal person. I wonder if Alec will even make it to the Oscars when he hosts it with Steve Martin on March 7th? The guy revealed not too long ago that he wants to quit acting for good and hopefully go into politics or something. If he wants to quit acting this soon, then that means something must be up with Alec in his personal life.

I don’t mean to predict death on someone, but I think Alec needs to get the help that he needs before he actually committs suicide this year. If he doesn’t get any better soon, he could pull out of the Oscars, never know. Remember, he didn’t even appear at the Golden Globes when he won for his role for “30 Rock” for whatever reason.

Thought: Sorry, but James Cameron does NOT deserve the Oscar spotlight this year….Kathryn Bigelow deserves it more!!!

I’ve said it once before and will say it again! “Avatar” was okay, but nothing amazing or all that special! “Avatar” IS NOT Oscar worthy. Although I have a feeling that James Cameron will once again sweep everything, money and power will do that, I think it’s safe to say that Kathryn Bigelow deserves the Oscar spotlight more than anything else that’s out now.

“The Hurt Locker” is such an amazing, and phenomenal movie. Everything about “The Hurt Locker”, is so perfect. The filming, the writing, the acting, etc. All of it.

Quentin Tarantino for “Inglourious Basterds” would be my 2nd choice to get the Oscar spotlight.

James Cameron doesn’t even belong in it. “The Hurt Locker” is one of the best new war movies I’ve seen in a long time. If James Cameron didn’t release “Avatar” and waited longer, I’m sure Tarantino or Bigelow would get their chance instead.

Oscar nominations will be revealed next Tuesday so it might be a little different than the Golden Globes. If “Avatar” doesn’t win for “Best Picture” this year and something else wins, I’ll be shocked and happy. It’s most likely this will be James Cameron’s year again.

Golden Globes thoughts, actually wasn’t a bad show…

Just got done watching the “Golden Globes”. Wasn’t a bad show. Pretty decent. Some great choices and a few bad ones.

See the winners here:

A few shockers that I never saw coming. Robert Downey Jr. for “Sherlock Holmes” and Jeff Bridges “Crazy Heart”, I never thought they would get it. Good choices on them. I was also shocked by John Lithgow winning for “Dexter” that was also surprising.

I was also kind of surprised that Tina Fey didn’t even win anything this year, which is actually good, give someone else a chance finally.

I didn’t like Alec Baldwin winning again.

I’m happy for Kevin Bacon winning for “Taking Chance” as I want to see that movie that’s based on HBO. I’m glad for Drew Barrymore, she never won something that big before and she admitted it on stage during her acceptance speech. I’m sure Drew Barrymore won other small awards for her films but she never won anything that big for the Globes/Oscars. It’s about time too.

Ricky Gervais the host, was actually pretty funny, I laughed at his jokes. Of course, there had to be a few jokes about the “Jay Leno vs. Conan O’ Brien” feud tonight. Ricky Gervais and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger both joked about it.

The only reason I watched tonight’s “Golden Globes” was that so I can tell what the potential Oscar nominations will be.

I’ve seen most of the movies nominated except for “Julie and Julia”, “It’s Complicated”, and “Precious”. I’ll be looking forward to seeing them when they hit DVD. “Julie and Julia” is already on DVD and I’ll see that one when I get around to it. I like Meryl Streep too.

Not a bad show overall, lets hope the Oscars will be a little better. We will know the Oscar nominations very soon on Feb. 2nd which is just around the corner.

Thought: 82nd Annual Oscars 2010, will that be James Cameron’s year???

For the 82nd Annual Oscar Awards in 2010, we all know there will be 10 films nominated instead of the usual 5 this year. I know it’s too early to predict what the nominations will be for the 10 films. I don’t know what films will get nominated but we all know that Jimmy Cameron’s “Avatar” and Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds” will make it in.

Who knows, maybe even Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” will get a nomination for “Best Picture” as well.

I have this feeling that this will be another year for Jimmy Cameron at the Oscars, again. “Avatar” will sweep everything at the Oscars.

I know a lot of people are hoping Tarantino will get his first shot at winning an Oscar but don’t get too excited yet. Jimmy Cameron is back on the big screen, so he’ll overshadow everything at the Oscars.

Don’t get me wrong, I think “Avatar” looks like a wonderful film, I’m dying to see it myself and can’t wait for it, but I don’t want Jimmy Cameron to win big again.

It is time to pass the torch to Tarantino, he deserves his chance, he’ll get nominated for sure, but it’s unlikely he’ll win. 😦

BREAKING NEWS: Hugh Jackman won’t host 2010 Oscars but who do I think will?

Hugh Jackman has pulled out of hosting the Oscars for the 82nd annual awards for 2010, saying he didn’t want to host two Oscars in a row.

More on it here:

http://news-briefs.ew.com/2009/10/30/sources-hugh-jackman-wont-host-2010-oscars/?xid=rss-msnbc

Hugh Jackman out, who do I think will replace him for the next Oscars?

I think the next host will be no one other than Neil Patrick Harris, or Doogie Howser.

When Neil Patrick Harris hosted the last Golden Globes, tons of people were saying he was doing an incredible job and creating a huge buzz everywhere. I bet your money the Oscar officials have their eye on him.

Thought: Oscar night, for gays and lesbians?

Maybe Sean Penn’s “Oscar” win does have something to do with the homosexual theme after all, now that I think about it.

Penelope Cruz won for Best Supporting role for her lesbian character in, “Vicky Christina Barcelona”. The screenwriter for “Milk” , Dustin Lance Black, who is gay in real life won for Best Screenplay.

I think the Academy wanted the show to be for the gay and lesbian community as well.

But those who think Mickey Rourke got robbed, he didn’t get robbed at all. Sean Penn getting the win was the right choice to make. The Academy wanted to give the award to an actor who played somebody that was real. Harvey Milk was a real life guy, something that was a true story.

Mickey Rourke is a new star on the rise, so he got his first Oscar snub. Anne Hathaway is the same way as Mickey Rourke. Anne was up for “Best Actress”, and she didn’t win either.

Besides that, this is just an awards show, right? Who cares about a golden statue, and there’s always another time for Mickey to get nominated again if he picks the right role in the future. These actors don’t really care if they win or lose. Life goes on.

Them continuing to work on movies is more important than a awards show.  Mickey has finally got the recognition in his acting that he deserves, as long as he got nominated in the Oscars, that should be considered an award alone if you know what I mean.

Congrats to Mickey in all of his success. That alone should be more rewarding than an Oscar statue. Like I said, Mickey not winning maybe dissapointing, but Sean deserved it. Mickey getting nominated alone, is a good enough sign that he will one day win one.

Thought: Sean Penn getting angry public outrage for his Oscar win instead of Mickey Rourke!!!

Mickey Rourke didn’t win an Oscar last night. So what? Sean Penn deserves it, every step of the way. Those out there, slamming Sean Penn’s win for his role as Harvey Milk, don’t understand the talented actor Sean Penn is. I haven’t even seen the movie “Milk”, but I’m sure he did a great job. People are blaming the homosexual views of the character being responsible for the win, which I believe isn’t true. They gave the award to Sean because he’s simply one of the best actors in all of Hollywood.

This is Sean Penn’s second Oscar win as Best Actor. He first won for Best Actor for his role in “Mystic River”.

Those shitting on Sean Penn, are probably new and young Hollywood fans who probably tuned in to see Robert Pattison or the High School the Musical kids present awards. Do yourself a favor and see some of Sean Penn’s older films when he’s starring the leading role.

Some great Sean Penn movies that you should rent: “Mystic River”, “Dead Man Walking”, “I am Sam”, “The Interpreter”, “21 Grams”, etc. Just to name a few.

I kind of had a feeling that either Sean Penn or Brad Pitt were going to take the win instead of Mickey anyway. Mickey may win big at other award shows, but think about it, the other award shows are not as big as the Oscars. Mickey still has a long way to go to make his Oscar winning dream come true.

Winning an Oscar is a long road for an actor. It don’t happen for new and upcoming actors too much. Sean Penn is great and talented. Don’t diss the guy for his Oscar win, ’cause many movie fans don’t realize what it takes to be an actor.
