I love pools. Its like playing bingo, but you get to pick the numbers you want. Here are my picks for the annual Academy Awards pool at the office:
Best Picture = No Country For Old Men
Best Actor = Daniel Day Lewis
Best Actress = Julie Christie
Best Supporting Actor = Javier Bardem
Best Supporting Actress = Amy Ryan
Best Director = Joel & Ethan Cohen

Best Picture goes to Michael Clayton, in my opinion, or at least best supporting actress to Tilda Swinton - she was scary gooood.
Ah, you're just sayin' that 'cause she's so freaky-looking, Nil!
On to more pressing matters! What are your pics for tonight's Rainn Wilson-hosted Independent Spirit awards?
Also, that song from Once is the best fucking song EVER!
Sorry... Is this a family blog?
Yes, but profanity is encouraged. Once was a great movie and I totally recommend it. Btw, that guy was the guitar player in "The Commitments."
I'm so out of touch that I have no fucking idea a movie called Once even exists, let alone that it has an Oscar-winning song in it. Now that I've read a little bit about the movie, I can't say that I want to see it, but maybe Mary and I can work out a trade - we can see No Country for Old Men if we see Once too. Hell, I'll even watch Enchanted. Whoa. Maybe I shouldn't have said that. I hope Mary doesn't read this blog.
But Mary had the best call of the Oscars last night - Tilda Swinton looked exactly like Eric Stoltz [on a crash diet (or heroin)]. Look at the pictures of her. It's freaky.
Tilda Swinton is awesome, and it's not just 'cause she can get away (says I) with wearing no makeup at 46. (46!!!) It's because she & her husband have an "open marriage" wherein her 27 (or something) year-old lovah lives with them! And they get it on!
She totally rocks!
Also, I'm now dying to see Once, B-Dub. I've been listening to that song on repeat for the last 2 days!
Edit: she's .
47!!!
Grrrrr! Learn to HTML, Mantooth!
Once is a great movie. And its really nice to see the Academy rewarding Eric Stolz for his fine body of work.
Seriously, y'all!
She's way more Clay Aiken than Eric "Mask" Stoltz.
She CAN'T get away without makeup -that's my point - she is scary looking!! She was scary looking 10+ years ago in The Beach with Leo...
And, I don't believe they are legally married (unless there is still common law marriage in Scotland). Any way to confirm this?
Her "husband" is a woman, right?
If Fox News reports it, you know it's gotta be true!
Ooops! Daily Mail is quoting her as saying, "I don't have a husband."
Evs! She's still 47 and doin' a 29-year-old. That's a bigger age difference than Demi & Ashton!!
Brian don't read this.
Hell! I'd take on a lover too if I was 20 years younger than my partner AND he was nearing 70! LOL
And just to keep things mathematically aligned, she takes on a guy almost 20 years HER junior... goodness!
Now you think she's the bee's knees, dontcha?
(So in making this observation, I was struck with the realization that I had absolutely no idea what the etymology is of this interesting expression, "bee's knees." Apparently, it was merely a hipster flapper expression, first used in 1921 alongside such other nonsensical expressions as "cat's meow" to denote cool shite. "A British example from the same period is "dog's bollocks." Just thought I'd share!)
Also? Tilda Swinton is the dog's bollocks.
