Big show recap
So i have to say i’m not all that disappointed with the choices i made. my picks reflected the favorites among the gossip crowd, but some of my personal favorites pulled out wins, like departed and scorsese. Even a couple long shot picks came in with trophies.
I didn’t do as well as last year, but this year was much tougher. the movies were more solid across the board and things got a bit messy. there were only two solid locks and those were lead actor and lead actress. I have to say that supporting actress was pretty much sealed as well just because she had such low-end competition.
the show itself wasn’t too bad even if it went almost a full hour over the allotted time. Ellen did a dece job and was even fairly funny throughout. the commentators from outside on the carpet and things were shitty as always, but still better than all of the E! crew combined. those guys are fucking horrible.
and aaron… there was no way in hell even someone as sweet as Peter O’Toole could take on Whittaker this year. It was a great role for him and an awesome flick, but Whittaker had it in the bag from the first five minutes on screen.
