and the Oscar goes to...

Well after a weekend marathon of watching Oscar contender movies, thank god Jacko and I went to see Dreamgirls and The Queen at the theater, because we were busy all weekend with documentaries and such.. and to tell you the truth, having seen so many movies it makes it tough to decide who should be best actor or actress and picture.
Here is my take on who and what will be winners.

Best Picture: Definitely a toss up between The Departed and The Queen. Helen Mirren is amazing as Madge... I forgot it was Helen up there on the big screen. But then The Departed, taking place in my hometown of Boston, was a wowzer, didn't see that coming kinda movie..

Best Director: Martin Scorcese definitely for The Departed.. this is one of his best!

Best Actor: Haven't seen it, but looking at the list of contenders, Forest Whitaker as Idi Amin has to be the winner... this man can sing too!

Best Actress: Helen Mirren, hands down... made me look more favorably on her Madge and what was going on in that septagenarian royal squash when Diana died... now I sort of understand.. but I still think Prince Phillip is a total arse and a half..

Best Supporting Actor: Definitely Eddie Murphy for Dreamgirls. One of his finest roles.

Best Supporting Actress: Jennifer Hudson...omg, she blew me away with her performance and I remember when she got voted off American Idol, I said..what the fuck? So I want her to win to show those who voted her off.. that they were wrong.

Best Documetary: An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore.. everyone in the world should watch this film.. its scary.

Best Song: I need to wake up by Melissa Ethridge, the song for An Inconvenient Truth.

The rest of the nominations are not as compelling.. ahh the KFC is here... the sun is down and time to prepare for the 79th Annual Oscars ( Please don''t think Americans are totally frivolous with this sort of thing.. we're just as concerned about Bushy and cromies waging war on Iran and Syria.. *sigh* tonight we just want to forget reality for a bit...
