Thought: Chris Jericho will definitely have something to say about Mickey Rourke losing an Oscar tonight on RAW!!!!

Leave a comment

Last week on RAW Chris Jericho begged the Academy to not give the Oscar to Mickey Rourke for “Best Actor”. Well, Jericho’s wish actually came true. Tonight on RAW, you can betcha that Jericho will be out in the ring, smiling and being happy, and all that Mickey Rourke didn’t win anything. Jericho will be trashing him tonight, big time. Of course, a different legend will probably confront Jericho tonight.

Rumours going around the wrestling websites, that it maybe Sgt. Slaughter next, but we’ll have to tune in RAW tonight to see.

On a side note, you know what would be funny if Mickey Rourke did win last night, he goes up to make his acceptance speech and suddenly Jericho interupts him at the Oscars? It would be scripted of course, but it would have added fuel  to the fire for their Wrestlemania fued. Jericho showing up at the Oscars during Rourke’s acceptance speech would have been hilarious!!!

BREAKING NEWS: SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE IS “BEST PICTURE OF THE YEAR” AT THE OSCARS!!!!

Leave a comment

As expected, I always knew that “Slumdog Millionaire” was going to be the big Oscar winner this year, ever since I first saw the movie in theater. It is well deserved. “Slumdog Millionaire” is such an amazing film, I loved it too much. I think the film is still playing in theaters now, so go see it if you haven’t yet.

Sean Penn ended up winning for “Best Actor”, poor Mickey. Even Sean himself seem dissapointed that Mickey wasn’t up there holding the award instead of him, ’cause Sean gave him a shout out at the end of his speech. Sean Penn deserves it though ’cause he is an amazing actor as well as he is an amazing director too. So I would say that Sean Penn getting the win for “Best Actor” is the shocker of the night.

Kate Winslet winning for “Best Actress” was no surprise to me, I never even seen “The Reader” or “Revolutionary Road” yet, but I’ll see them two movies when they come out on DVD.

A.R. Rahman winning for both music categories was also no surprise to me, I knew it was going to happen. He performed real good too. John Legend ended up singing, “Down to Earth” instead of Peter Gabriel.

Heath Ledger winning was great and seeing his family up there was special. Soon that golden statue will go to Matilda.

Penelope Cruz gets the shocking win for “Best Supporting Actress”, I was thinking the winner for that was going to be Viola Davis, but thought wrong.

Hugh Jackman did a great job hosting the Oscars, he was entertaining doing all them musicals as well. He can really sing, he can dance, he can perform well doing theatre, I was impressed.

The Oscars were very different this year. No John Travolta, no Joaquin Phoenix which is understandable. I’m sure those two guys were watching the Oscars on TV at home but I’m sure they couldn’t be there for other reasons.

I really liked this year’s Oscars, really good show, I think it’s one of the bests in a long time. The Oscars should keep this different format every year. Only thing I didn’t like was Queen Latifah singing over the, “In Memoriam” segments. I think that was the only thing that was pretty poorly done. Other than that, it was a good show. Seeing Eddie Murphy tributing Jerry Lewis was awesome. Great job Academy!!!

Thought: Remember, don’t expect your Oscar predictions to be right…

Leave a comment

Remember, what Sid Ganis said now, “You’re in for a surprise”. The Oscars want to keep the winners unpredictable and surprising this year. “Slumdog Millionaire” may not be the big winner tomorrow, Mickey Rourke could even get robbed, the same for Kate Winslet, and Heath Ledger. Just because all of them are winning big at other award shows, does not mean they will win at the Oscars tomorrow too.

I mean what if “Wall-E”, even gets robbed for Best Animated film and “Bolt” could get the win instead? “Kung Fu Panda” could possibly be a big lucky winner too. Do you think “Bolt” could get the win because of Miley Cyrus and John Travolta? Yes.

You may think the winners will be too predictable for you, but to me, I think it will be unpredictable. Any of them can get the win, so don’t go assuming that your winner picks will be the obvious ones.

Tomorrow’s Oscars will be great and am looking forward to watching it.

Report: Leaked Oscar winners at TMZ is faked…

Leave a comment

TMZ posted a memo claimed to be written by Sid Ganis, who is the president of the Academy. They are the winners of this Sunday’s Oscars claimed to be leaked to the web.

See it here:

http://www.tmz.com/2009/02/21/and-the-winner-isnt/

It is faked. The typed letter looks amatuerish, they got the nominee names wrong for “Sound Mixing” winners which the Academy wouldn’t do. Plus, the Academy wouldn’t write the list of winners on a piece of paper ’cause they know that’ll be in danger of winners getting leaked to someone else.

I’m sure the Academy keeps the winners in an envelope locked up in a safe place and wait for the envelopes to be opened at this Sunday’s show. So some of those winners or all of them, could be wrong.

Report: Hugh Jackman on hosting the Oscars, “I’m going to be drunk and nude on stage”…

Leave a comment

Is Hugh Jackman serious? Or is he joking? Things tell me that Hugh Jackman is not afraid of walking nude on stage in front of thousands of people because I’m sure he did it before when doing his theatrical plays.

He also confirms that the “High School the Musical” kids will perform with him.

Read Hugh Jackman’s interview here:

http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Movies/02/20/hugh.jackman.oscars/?iref=mpstoryview

I’m sure Jackman is just fooling with the drunk and nude thing. If he actually does it, I’m sure they’ll censor his privates somehow.

Thought: What if Heath Ledger loses his Oscar…again?

6 Comments

Heath was once nominated for “Brokenback Mountain” in 2005, but he never got the win. Could the same happen this year? This is one of the award categories that can be unpredictable. Never assume that Heath Ledger could automatically get the win because of his death.

Could this be Robert Downey Jr’s lucky day and he could actually win for his role in “Tropic Thunder”? Could Josh Brolin get the lucky win for “Milk”? What about Phillip Seymour Hoffman for “Doubt”, or Michael Shannon for “Revolutionary Road”? Any of the other guys can get it.

It all depends on the most votes the Academy gave them the win for. If Robert Downey Jr. wins this, that would be shocking.

If Heath Ledger doesn’t win, then I think that’s what he would have wanted. I’ve read somewhere that he never really wanted to be an Oscar winner? I remember reading somewhere on the internet that Heath was relieved that he didn’t win for “Brokenback Mountain” for some reason. If Heath doesn’t win, then it’s no big deal for me and I’ll take it for what it is.

I’m sure there’ll be an angry public outrage by Batman fans if Heath doesn’t win but if you use a little common sense, if Heath was still alive today, he would think his performance is better than getting an Oscar nomination. So, he wouldn’t worry about losing an Oscar again. I don’t think he ever wanted to be an Oscar winner like he once said, so treat his true wishes with heart and respect.

Cool Video: More on A.R. Rahman, videos of his live performances…

Leave a comment

With the Oscars just around the corner, I’ve decided to do more research on A.R. Rahman to learn more about the guy and to hear this guy’s other music. This guy is cool, check him out. If you want to buy A.R. Rahman’s albums, you would probably find him in the “World Music” section in your local record store since he is from India. He’s an electronic and pop musician but still pretty cool. I’m sure A.R. will put on some great live performances at the Oscars this Sunday too. Watch and you’ll see why. Like what you see? Type up his name in youtube and you’ll come across all kinds of live footage from his concerts.
