That's right, it's Oscar season again. All the pageantry, all the pomp, all the sycophantic compliments and obviously rehearsed "off-the-cuff" acceptance speeches. All the inane Hollywood chatter and sub-sincere "you deserve it"s. An orgy of self-congratulatory celebration for the rich and famous.
So, I thought to myself, why not join in?
The list of nominated actors, actresses, and films was released last week on the official site (http://www.oscars.com/nominees/), and I've poured over them to bring you my choices for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Film, and so on and so forth.
But that's not all! I've also done thorough research into the last 10 years of Academy Award winners to find the common patterns inherent in each category. Now, instead of only stating who we'd like to win, we can actually predict who will ACTUALLY walk away with the little golden statue at the end of the night.
Does it work? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

 Our friends over at the 99 Points Podcast released their Lost special, entitled "99 Points Gets Lost" earlier this afternoon, with a very special guest: Me!
That's right! They asked, I wholeheartedly agreed. Okay, okay... technically, I blackmailed them into letting me on their show with some very saucy pictures of Tony Tubesteaks molesting a plastic mannequin, but still. A guest appearance is a guest appearance.
So, if you've ever wanted to hear me make a total idiot of myself (and I do mean TOTAL idiot) during an internet broadcast, now's your chance!
We discuss our favorite Lost characters, favorite Lost moments, Tom Cruise's sexual preference (he's definitely gay), and I singlehandedly (okay, Tony helped too) manage to offend every single cultural group possible in 87 minutes of airtime. |

In this week's issue of the Heroes Graphic Novel, the loose threads of previous weeks are being slowly tied together. It was a little confusing two weeks back when "The Golden Goose" ended with a "To Be Continued..." and then last week was a seemingly unrelated story about a high school student named Matt Neuenberg, who has superhuman memory (not unlike Hiro's ill-fated love, Charlie).
This week it starts to make some sense.
Since the last issue, Charlie... oops, I mean Matt has begun his work for the Company as a computer programmer. Elle still visits him in his cell/room and taunts him (no cake this time though). After a little bit of snappy patter between the two, Elle ducks out to grab a donut (what, no waffle reference?) leaving Matt to stew and silently resign himself to a life of imprisonment under the Company's watchful eye... or so he thinks. |
