Damn, that's a lot of snow. You can't even tell that I shoveled the walkway a few hours ago. It's tapered off now. Still. So not loving this. I'm going to feel a little pang of guilt later, when I order pizza. But Papa John's isn't even a mile away.
I've seen two of the films nominated for Best Picture this year, The Queen and Little Miss Sunshine. I'm guessing The Departed will get the Oscar, just based on what I've heard. Scorsese will be Best Director (and about time), Mirren will be Best Actress, Jennifer Hudson Best Supporting Actress. No idea about Best Supporting Actor. I really, really want Peter O'Toole to win Best Actor because I love him deeply, but I have a feeling it's going to go to Forest Whitaker. Which is fine. I'll only be crushed if Al Gore doesn't win Best Documentary.
I don't put much stock in the Academy. They've made such bizarre choices in the past. (Titanic over LA Confidential? Um, what? Braveheart over anything?) But I like spectacle sometimes. I like the pretty dresses and the hot tuxes.
