"I want to thank Warner Brothers for casting me in this piece of s---," she said as she dragged her agent on stage and warned him "next time read the script first."
Heh.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does anyone have any good recommendations for Oscar picks? I just want to read thoughtful snippets on the major awards.
I have Ebert so far.

EW does picks. There was more in the print version.
A summary of major critics picks in the major categories.
And then there's Gold Derby: [link]
I think most of just do the major categories.

I am trying to fill out my oscar pool ballot and I'm having a hard time. I'm thinking of splitting my picture director vote. Giving MDB Best Picture and Scorsese director, as sort of a hedge. But the safe bet would be MDB in both, wouldn't it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm leaning toward the split myself, Sue. Scorsese's never won, right?

This is true.

Yes, and the Academy has been doing more splitting of the categories in the last couple of years. Think of Roman Polanski's win for The Pianist.
Okay it's 3:30 and I'm just getting dressed. I don't think I could be lazier.

Don't you fret, Sue -- I'm half dressed with wet hair, getting dressed for the first time since FRIDAY. You could clearly be lazier.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
I wouldn't be surprised if Scorsese doesn't get Best Director tonight. Haven't seen the movie, but have found some comments about Scorsese and The Aviator interesting.
A) Scorsese isn't necessarily beloved in Hollywood (as far as Oscar voting goes, anyway), but Eastwood is. (That came from EW's annual "the actor/director/producer explains their Oscar picks" feature.)
B) Several comments as to Scorsese's heart just wasn't in The Aviator.
I'll be disappointed if he gets it, if only because it might seem like, "hey, here's an Oscar; sorry you didn't get it for your really good movies."
I still cringe at the thought of Whoopi Goldberg winning the Best Supporting Actress for Ghost (seriously ... Ghost???) after snubbing her for The Color Purple. I found it really insulting.
