Son of More Oscars 2007

Supporting Actress will be a surprise. Either the kid of the babysitter will win. The Academy does not like TV and that's where Jennifer Hudson came from, American Idol. The Japanese girl from Babel was in the story that most people felt didn't belong, although she went commando long before Lindsay Lohan, Paris, or Britney, but that's not enough. Sharon Stone, BTW, will never ever win an Oscar. Although the French did give her their artistic medal, for her body of work. Write your own joke there.
Adapted Screenplay - Children of Men was brilliant, Borat was brilliantly funny and the other three had their moments of literary lucidity. I'd be happy for either of the first two. But especially Borat.
Original Screenplay - Pan's Labyrinth was the second best movie of last year and Del Toro deserves to be recognized for his writing, as well as Best Foreign Film. The storytelling, the images, the words, brilliant.
Animated Feature - It's L.A., it's Freeways, it's Prius vs. Hummer, it's CARS.
Documentary Feature - AL GORE, AL GORE, AL GORE. If he wins this AND the Nobel Peace Prize that he's been nominated for, he'd better run for President. Of the United Earth!!! That resume sounds suspiciously like the good guy genius Prez in some futuristic 50s sci-fi flick. But he's real. And young people would actually vote. Please, please, please.
Documentary Short Subject - Which one was about the Holocaust or Holocaust survivors or the families of Holocaust survivors? Which one was about people with differing abilitiea? Which one was about impoverished people fighting the vestiges of colonialism AND the ravages of AIDS? That documentary short subject will win!!!
Original Song - And I'm Telling you I'm Not Going can only be sung by the two Jennifers, Holliday and Hudson, and it couldn't be nominated as it was written for a Broadway show over 30 years ago! I defy anyone to sing any of the three nominated songs from Dreamgirls. Randy Newman, a son of the Academy and the man who wrote I Love L.A. wins.
As for the others, good luck and enjoy the singular pleasure of just being nominated. Keep telling yourselves that. And as always, war is over if you want it.
