“For moviegoers born after 1979, all that Meryl does is not magic.”

I agree. It’s probably why Brokeback Mountain didn’t win Best PIcture as well.

They should just give the Actress Oscar to Carey Mulligan. I hope Meryl and Sandra would cancel each other out. I’m not even complaining if Gabby Sidibe gets it. The odds are Sandra though. But Mulligan delivers the best performance by an actress of any age this year.

The average Oscar voter is retired. Think the late Charlton Heston.

I recently watched Shakespeare in Love and The Reader and decided that it must be the boobs that won Oscar awards for Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate WInslet. No offense to Kate Winslet, she’s really a good actress.
So, did Sandra Bullock show hers in this movie?

8. Bullock is a film producer who employs (and a potential employer) of the majority of the voting members of the Academy. So there.

“Bullock’s character is a Republican.”
“Streep’s Julia is into that Frenchy-Frenchy obsession, cuisine.”

Hmmm. But the average Oscar voter is a Democrat. And Sarah Palin infamously railed against the entertainment industry and its ‘liberal, corrupting’ influence. Besides, Julia Child is a beloved American icon. Those in the heartland might think the French are too effete for their taste, but given a chance, no one would ever refuse to live the good life that France epitomizes. [Mental note: must watch The Blind Side]
