‘Twas The Night Before Oscar…
Update: 19 out of 24 correct predictions! I only missed, Cinematography, Documentary Feature, Documentary Short, Foreign Language Film, Sound Mixing, but I got all of the major categories right!
‘Twas the night before Oscar
And all through the “wood”,
Celebrities were fasting,
Making sure they’d look good.
The statues were polished,
All shiny and gold.
Hoping Angie or Brad,
On Sunday would hold.
The poor kids from Slumdog,
first time on a jet.
Hope their movie will win;
It’s a pretty safe bet.
With their crash diets over,
The celebrities came.
And fans whistled and shouted,
And called them by name.
There’s Leo and Kate,
Together again.
And there’s Mickey Rourke,
Wrestling with Sean Penn.And what’s all that beeping,
Coming from the red carpet?
Oh it’s just Wall-E,
With Shiloh Jolie-Pitt
Too bad for Heath Ledger,
and his peculiar ticks.
Sunday’s the Oscars,
And here are my picks:
I did pretty well with my Golden Globe predictions this year and my Oscar picks last year….so we’ll see…
From last year….uh huhFinally, congratulations to Jessica & Jamal on their brand new baby boy. Welcome to the world Jaden Alexander!
Future Oscar Winner, born Wednesday in West Hollywood, CATom & Cathy are bringing Patrick down from San Francisco this weekend, so I’ll be in Santa Barbara, with a quick stop at Claudio & Ryan’s for a Brazilian BBQ. Then I’m out of town starting Monday thru March 2nd. Happy Oscars everyone!
