I'm stranded in Hollywood due to the winter storm on the East Coast, so I thought I'd take advantage of my proximity to the Kodak Theater, where the 2008 Oscars will be awarded Sunday night, and see if I can go five for five in the top categories, as I did last year:
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: The true contenders are Ruby Dee in American Gangster and Cate Blanchett in I'm Not There. I was leaning toward Blanchett but she won a few years ago for The Aviator. Ruby Dee has never won an Oscar and that will be rectified this year.
BEST ACTRESS: The race is between Marion Cotillard, La Vie En Rose, and Julie Christie, Away From Her. They're both earning raves but Miss Cotillard gets my nod because my friend Jim says she was amazing.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: This one is a lock: Javier Bardem in No Country For Old Men.
BEST ACTOR: Another lock: Daniel Day-Lewis, There Will Be Blood.
BEST PICTURE: Some folks hated the ending - not me: No Country For Old Men.
Chris T., that is a sweet picture! Mazeltov!

A bit nippy out there? We're up to our knees in slush.
