My mom said she learned how to swim. Someone took her out in the lake and threw her off the boat. That's how she learned how to swim. I said, 'Mom, they weren't trying to teach you how to swim.'

The Post Oscar Pondering

posted in Entertainment |

I did better than usual with my Oscar picks, again. I actually did the same as last year, with 14 correct picks. John Stewart did a nice enoungh job hosting. I had forgotten that Stewart had hosted previous (the year I’ve tried to blank from memory, where Crash won things and I only got 3 picks right). Frankly, I liked Ellen Degeneres’ hosting better. Ultimately I wish they’d bring Steve Martin back. You can get access to my prediction list on my previous predictions post. I was sad that Juno didn’t win best picture and that Ellen Page didn’t get best actress, but at least it got writing. I didn’t expect Jason Reitman to pick up best director for it (I figured the Coen’s were a total lock there).
