last year my friend Kegz had a contest on his website for who could come closest to predicting the awards. i watched it that night with him and his wife and a few minutes before they announced one of the categories i changed one answer. that was the only one i got wrong that night. this year he’s been writing on his site that i’m hungry for another win but i only just posted my picks there b/c i haven’t been feeling too sure about who’s going to win this year. as usual though, i filled out a ballot with who i think will win vs. who i want to win (saw you did that too- it was fun to read your comments!). so here are my votes:

1.best picture- Brokeback Mountain and it should be in my opinion. a big part of me thinks it could go to Crash though.
2.best director- Ang Lee on both votes
3.best actor- will be P.S. Hoffman who i thought was amazing, but i’d like to see it go to Heath Ledger
4.best supporting actor- George Clooney on both votes, but i also think there is a chance it might go to Matt Dillon.
5.best actress- Reese Witherspoon. i’d like to see it go to Judi Dench but i don’t think it would ever happen.
6.best supporting actress- Amy Adams, who was amazing, but i’m with you all the way- i LOVE Catherine Keener in everything she does!
7.best original song- Dolly Parton for Transamerica, but i’d like to see Hustle & Flow win it.

as far as seeing anything good lately, this weekend i watched part one of ‘the Best of Youth’. i loved it! i can’t wait until netflix sends part 2! have you seen it yet? how about you, seen anything good lately?

hope you enjoy the oscars tonight- thanks for asking my picks. it’s always nice to hear from you.

take care-
kelly
