So the Oscars are coming up. Last year was entertaining since it occurred on my birthday so we had an Oscar watch party for my birthday party. This year, I figured doing an Oscar picking contest on the blog (with entries being posted in the comments) could be fun. Here are the categories, keeping it limited to the following 5:
Best Picture
The Artist
The Descendants
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
The Help
Hugo
Midnight in Paris
Moneyball
The Tree of Life
War Horse
Best Actor
Demian Bichir (A Better Life)
George Clooney (The Descendants)
Jean Dujardin (The Artist)
Gary Oldman (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy)
Brad Pitt (Moneyball)
Best Actress
Glenn Close (Albert Nobbs)
Viola Davis (The Help)
Rooney Mara (The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo)
Meryl Streep (The Iron Lady)
Michelle Williams (My Week With Marilyn)

Yes they are doing an Oscar Picking Contest at my work too. There was an interesting commentary on the radio though about how a lot of the people who vote for the Oscar have been in the Academy for a long long time and there are not a lot of new people coming in or something. Those voting haven’t actually made a movie in a long time… But hopefully the best ones win!
Great idea Spencer. I'm going to poke my nose in your family blog and say
BA Gary Oldman
