I just saw this footage, and I'll have to say, I'm pretty psyched about this movie. Didn't realize Robert Rodriguez wasn't directing it, but any movie that's got Adrien Brody, Lawrence Fishburne, Topher Grace, and Walt Goggins, I'm going to go see.

OSCAR NIGHT LIVE BLOGGING
I got bored just watching the Oscars, so I'll try some live blogging.
9:35 - Sandra Bullock, still looks really good. Oh, Avatar finally won something!
9:38 - Ah, James Taylor. Is it morbid that this is one of my favorite parts of the Oscars?
9:46 - Anyone see Sam Worthington preshow? He forgot his date's name. Classic. Ugh, dance number.
10:07 - What the hell is Fischer Stevens doing getting an Oscar?
10:10 - Hurt Locker wins agains! They look like film editors. Dorks. Like me.
10:27 - I kinda like it when they bring out co-stars to talk about the nominees. COME ON JEFF BRIDGES!
10:30 - FUCK YEAH! Best Actor, Jeff Bridges, Crazy Heart, Bad Blake!
10:55 - Best Director...come on....YES! Kathryn Bigelow, Hurt Locker!
11:01 - HURT LOCKER! 6 Oscars! It deserves it, fantastic film!
Well, I only missed two of my guesses, which was Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress. I didn't realize that Precious: Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire was such a strong contender. All in all, though, I was pretty happy with all the awards that were given out, and the show wasn't as boring as it normally is. That might have been because I was live blogging at the time...and Twittering...and Facebooking.

OSCAR PREDICTIONS 2010
Tonight's the big night in Hollywood, so I thought I'd put down my own Oscar predictions. Let's see how many I get right. Now, this is only for the big categories...costume and whatnot, I really don't care about.
AND...for the first time in a long time (maybe ever?), there are 10...yep, TEN...Best Picture nominees. So, without further ado...MOVIE DORK'S OSCAR PREDICTIONS!!!
BEST ACTOR - Jeff Bridges in "Crazy Heart"
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR - Christoph Waltz in "Inglourious Basterds"
BEST ACTRESS - Sandra Bullock in "The Blind Side"
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS - either Maggie Gyllenhaal in "Crazy Heart" or Anna Kendrick in "Up in the Air"
BEST ANIMATED FEATURE - Up
BEST DIRECTOR - Kathryn Bigelow for "The Hurt Locker"
BEST ORIGINAL SONG - The Weary Kind from "Crazy Heart"
As for Best Picture...I just don't know. The field is big, and there are some great...GREAT...movies on that list. I think I'm rooting for "The Hurt Locker" because it was such a great, powerful movie, but I know that "Avatar" is the biggest movie of all time, and "Up in the Air" is a critical favorite...even though I didn't really like it that much. As you can see, "Crazy Heart" is my favorite, but I really do think the Golden Globe winners will be the big winners tonight, though that's not always the case...remember Mickey Rourke and "The Wrestler"?
I think the one that I might be most excited about is the BEST VISUAL EFFECTS category, with "Star Trek", "District 9" and "Avatar" all in the running. I don't think JJ Abrams reboot of "Star Trek" has a chance, as good as it was, because the other two just blew it out of the water.
No matter what, I'll be watching tonight with my ballot in my hand. I'll write back later and see how I did.
