Vickie, Vicky, or Michael Vick, who cares. Dumb, boring movie, jmo. The narrator on it was boring as hell also, and it sounded like the way Woody talks only he used an actor because no one wants to hear Woody doing a voice over.

I think Penelope has a lock on her Oscar this year, they love her and so does the public. Kate not getting in that category gave her the most votes, jmo.

Anyway, I was reading over the Oscar database at Oscars.com, and it's interesting seeing who was nominated, who won, etc. Robert Duvall in 1983, but where is F. Murray Abraham from 1984? Geoffrey Rush winner 1996, is still around in the odd part, now and then, plus it's fun to see the one's I had no idea had an Oscar, like Timothy Hutton from 1980, and that movie was excellent he was in, "Ordinary People."

Louis Gossett Jr. for "An Officer and a Gentleman" 1982, Haing Ngor (RIP) 1984, plus I forgot Michael Caine's two 1999 and 1986, and Sean Connery 1987 which I am glad of and didn't remember, Kevin Kline 1988, and I have no idea why I forgot Robin Williams' Oscar of 1997, or Benecio Del Toro's of 2000. Which can anybody answer why "Che" and Benecio were completely ignored this year? Or why "Defiance" and Daniel Craig and Liev Schrieber were ignored.

Where is Brenda Fricker now from 1989, and Linda Hunt of 1983? Geraldine Page won Best Actress in 1985, there was a great actress (RIP). It's fun reading back in that database to see who was nominated and who lost as well, and where are they now?


LOL, and Viggo so deserved it his nude scene was awesome last year.

Oh, and I am so hoping that Joey Fatone gets to interview Sean Penn like he did James Franco at the SAG Awards and asked him "what is it like to play a homosexual?" "Did you get lots of homosexuals going to this movie?" And Franco answering with a smile, "it's like playing any character," and "lots of people are going to the movie, men and women." Really, for a big laugh before the Awards don't miss Joey Fatone on the TV Guide Channel, along with Ryan of course who also asks ridiculous questions, remember his last year asking Jessica Alba if she was going to breast feed.

1. Kate Winslet cancelling herself out. Henson was more than likely in sixth place.

That's not why. If you read about it, the Academy decides which category, and they put Kate's movies in Leading Actress only. Tho Kate, her mgt., whatever, had submitted her as Supporting for "The Reader" and Lead for "Revolutionary Road."

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has forced the cruelest result upon Kate Winslet, nominating her for best actress for her indelible performance as a onetime concentration camp guard in "The Reader" but skipping over her other acclaimed performance as a suffering suburban housewife in "Revolutionary Road," a film that happened to be directed by her husband, Sam Mendes.

Winslet apparently had hoped to avoid having her two performances go one-on-one by expressing her wish (via the studios' campaigns) that "The Reader" be entered in the supporting actress category and "Revolutionary Road" in the lead actress category, a desire that was honored by both the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Yet the rules are different for the Oscars, which permit actors only one nomination per category and assign the category as the academy - not the potential nominee - sees fit. The 5,800 Oscar voters were clearly overwhelmed by what many consider one of the actress' best performances.
