These are the awards as I would personally give them, not as I think they will turn out.

Best Picture: District 9 (Mary and Max, if it were nominated)

District 9 has great technical aspects. It’s well thought out and so original and creative for a aliens-on-earth sci fi movie. This movie has completely changed the Sci fi genre. The documentary styling really set it apart, as well as the themes of social justice, xenophobia, and morality. Wikus, as he becomes less and less human, ends up being more and more humane. Other than District 9, I actually thought Mary and Max was the best movie this year, but the Academy ignored it probably because it’s Australian. Click here for the Mary and Max website. You can also get Mary and Max on Amazon.

Actor: I haven’t seen Crazy Heart yet, but out of the rest, I’d go with Jeremy Renner from the Hurt Locker.

Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz. He has the Meryl Streep effect. Even in a movie with flaws, when he’s on the screen, you’re captivated.

Actress: Meryl Streep. Same deal as above. I actually thought Julie and Julia wasn’t a great movie, but once again, when Meryl was on screen you become very emotionally involved with the character. Julia Child was such a fun and great character for her. I think she really deserves it. Amy Adams was not so great in the same film ( I LOOOVE Amy Adams in June Bug)

Supporting Actress: Mo’Nique.

I was really apprehensive before Precious came out, since I really wanted it to be good. So I’m kind of a fangirl. Monique definately stands out. I’ve always liked her, since I saw her on Charm School on VH1 (Lawl!) This is more of a coronation than a real prize. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Academy agreed with me on this one.

Animated Film: Coraline (Mary and Max if it were nominated)

Director: Kathryn Bigelow. Because it would recognize not only her amazing work but the work of other female directors and writers.

Documentary: Food, Inc.  BUT I haven’t seen all the documentaries this year. Loved Food, Inc though. Cows > Dolphins.

Foreign Language: A Prophet. Loved this movie. I liked the White Ribbon, but I loved this one more. I always feel this category should have multiple winners and way more nominees. But whatever.

Visual Effects: Avatar.

Writing: A Serious Man. Coen brothers tend to be overrated, but this was a great one, imo.

This was the best Caprica episode so far. I loved the filming, and all the scenes in V-world. Screencap above is of my favorite scene in this episode.

I’m starting to feel more excited about Caprica than I am about Lost. I will continue to watch Lost till the end though since I’ve made it this far. But I love love love Caprica. Wish it had better ratings & lower risk of cancellation.

Caprica is a prequel to the critically acclaimed series on SyFy Battlestar Galactica. I haven’t watched more than 5 minutes of BSG. It looked good but it seemed to be a complicated story to get into. I recently watched a BSG movie called “The Plan” and thought I might try out Caprica. Caprica was meant for new viewers, which I’m thankful for. There are little easter eggs for seasoned viewers and it helps if you know what a cylon is, but overall you don’t need to have watched BSG to enjoy Caprica.

I started watching it on hulu and so far, 4 episodes in, I really love it. It’s very family-drama based with a touch of sci-fi. I also love the way they incorporated the futuristic technology into it. Caprica is a world where they are on the brink of creating true artificial life robots. It’s simple enough that we can imagine it happening within our lifetimes, and its fascinating enough to keep me interested. Although it’s a brand new series, I give it 5 out of 5 stars. It’s not a perfect show – but the great family dramas and beautiful filming will keep me watching well into the first season.

I would write a recap but since nobody reads this blog I won’t bother.

I really enjoyed it even though I find the sideways-flashes a bit uninspired. STILL …I’m glad we’re getting answers.

We had a great lost discussion in the LOST circle on Jumpino leading up to the premiere.

Other than that, my month-long vegetarian diet is going great, although I seem to be lacking zinc and suffering some side effects. But maybe it’s not related – but I’m still taking a multivitamin. I forgot to mention earlier, I’m also giving up soda for the month, and probably forever. I’ve already been soda-free for a while.

Let me start with this: I used to hate my nose. I used to hate my cheeks. I used to think about doing this to myself, but I grew out of it. Somewhere along the line, I snapped out of it. But I guess some people don’t, and they get on reality shows, they make tons of money, and then they actually go through with it. Enter, Heidi Montag:

Is Heidi obsessed? She herself claims that she is – obsessed with the science of plastic surgery. (I’m paraphrasing) To be honest, she does look better. I think people are giving her a hard time because she’s Heidi, she’s a notorious attention seeker and all of us are guilty for giving her attention. She is still swollen according to her doctor, and her face is still fragile. I personally think that the end result will be much better than the recent pics shown on Perez and TMZ, as well as the spread in People. She looks very swollen. Her lower jaw is drastically larger than it was before – and she had no work done there. Her face will thin out and end up looking better. I think her 2nd nosejob was an improvement, but I don’t really like huge boobs like what she has now.

At the end of the day, everyone has a right to modify their body. I don’t think she’s mentally ill as some people have implied but perhaps just a little too obsessed and vain.

What about Heidi Montag’s music? Some people have speculated she had orchestrated this whole thing to create a media frenzy around her new album, Superficial. I’ve listened to the entire album and honestly the only good song is called “Blackout” it sounds like something that would be tacked on to a Britney Spears album at the last minute. (Ironically it has the same name as one of Britney’s albums) Blackout is catchy, has a nice rhythm, and has actual singing. The rest of the songs do not. In fact, most of them seem to have the same beat, and they start about the same with the same dance techno screeches. Unfortunately for Heidi, she didn’t make Blackout her leading single. She started it off with Superficial, which is a tedious song with painfully bad lyrics. Then came “Fanatic”, which Perez liked, but I can barely listen to. Her 3rd single is Twisted, which sounds alot like Superficial, which sounds alot like everything else on the album. The only other reedeemable song on the album is “More is more” which isn’t good, but gets a bit of credit for it’s ABBA sound and inspiration.

You know what’s weird about the song Blackout? Taylor Momsen participated in the writing of this song. A 16 year old half-wit actress who is still confused about what to do with eyeliner and her identity wrote the best song on Heidi Montag’s Album. Heidi didn’t write any of it, even though most of it sounds like she did. Regardless, she picked these songs and it’s entirely her mistake this album is so terrible. Here’s my 2 cents: Release Blackout before everyone discounts your album. Blackout could be the hit Heidi has been waiting for.

First thing is how he called Brittany Murphy “Cooky” for an entire year and today, posted this little gem:

Hydrocodone was one of the drugs found at Brittany’s home.

So very sad to lose such young and bright people this way.

(Emphasis added)

Here’s an example of how he trashed talked her before her death:

She’s CRAZY!

Brittany Murphy caused quite the ruckus last night, screaming about gunshots outside her home in Hollywood.

Concerned neighbors called the police about Brittany’s shouting and when the police arrived on the scene, Brittany was standing on her balcony still yelling about the “shooting!”

After an investigation, it was discovered that the noise was merely a generator on the fritz from the strange and windy weather in El Lay last night.

Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

Now obviously he’s just trying to create drama since thats technically his job .. but a little consistency wouldn’t hurt.
The most annoying thing is when he contradicts himself in the same post.

Exhibit A:

The first question that comes to mind is – if you saw this coming, then why did you tease her and call her crazy constantly? I really doubt anyone saw this coming except maybe people who were very close to her. Perez just says crap like that to seem like he’s “in the know”. But that’s not the point. The point is, Perez continues to consistently post stupid illogical things and I’m kind of getting tired of it.

I am not easily offended, but when stuff is tooooooottally random and based on NO facts at all, it gets old, especially with Perez’s dimwitted speculations.

I’ve been looking more at TMZ recently as their stuff is more interesting (although sometimes they fail at fact-checking too).

I’ll be honest here. I don’t really care about Brittany Murphy. Celeb Gossip is just entertaining. I think I’ve seen one movie with her in it, 8 mile. I thought she was pretty. That was all. I’m sorry but I can’t turn into an Italian widow every time a celebrity dies. They’re not part of my life. I read the celeb gossip and the news and all this crap online to have fun in my petty escapism. (Yeah that sentence is grammatically weird, but I’m too tired to fix it.)

I should probably stop reading it. Too bad it’s as addictive as crack cocaine.
