All We Have Is -- Crash?

So, all I've got to say is that my Oscar preferences were much more accurate than my Oscar predicitions. Mayb e I should learn to trust my insticts and not be so damn cynical about award ceremonies.

My predictions were right for Leading Actor, Supporting Actor, Leading Actress, Animated Feature, Art Direction, Costume Design, Directing, Documentary Feature, Film Editing, Makeup, Music, Animated Short, Sound Mixing, Visual Effects, Adapted Screenplay, and Original Screenplay.

Wait. Cinematography and Best Picture were the only ones that I had the right preference but the wrong prediction so please feel free to disregard the blatant lie that is the first paragraph.

The only one I got outright wrong was Sound Editing, but, come one...sound editing? Give me a break.

I'm really happy for John Canemaker whose film won in the Animated Short category. I had the opportunity to watch his film over the summer at NYU (he works there) and was blown away by it. I got really invested in that category so I think that if anythine else had won I would've launched a brick at the television screen. My father, the owner of the aforementioned television, would like to thank the Academy for all their efforts to cricumvent its destruction.

I think it's time to return to my bland, but healthy/inexpensive diet. I've been going out to eat too much and I'm getting an unpleasant combination of sick and poor.

Sang the national anthem at some convention yesterday. It was weird. Went out for breakfast afterwards.

In the thick of tech week now and the homework keeps on piling up. My english grade went from a 102 last marking period to a 52 this marking period. I'm not even upset...just impressed. That's an awesome drop. Not doing homework is so tempting.

I wish there were some awards for Good Night and Good Luck...

And take that Brokeback Mountain.
