If I only had a brain...

So is The Aviator now a lock for Best Picture, given all the small awards?

Yeah, well, tell it to Morgan and to Scorsese.

Hey, we all have our own grudges to carry on behalf of other people. I'm sure they have plenty of their own torch bearers. I'm sticking with Cate.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

So, this whole not-having-seen-the-nominees thing is kind of fun. It makes the clips all fresh and new!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't think Natalie's head to neck ratio is much more off than, say, Cate's -- just that I find myself so entranced by staring at her damned head I notice her neck.

That's my experience too, Emily.

Reality TV = documentary?!

Oh, man. You know, make the damn actors stand up there through the nominee list. Not the people who aren't interested in being in front of the camera!

No, Jen, my point is that lots of the Oscars are given retroactively. Judi Dench got hers for Mrs. Brown, not for Elizabeth.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Damn. I wanted Virginia Madsen to win. I love Cate but Sideways seems to be getting shut out, and that was possibly my favorite film of the year.

Kirsten is beautifully put together this year.
