I'm sad to say we don't have any exclusive interviews with celebrities like last year, but we are brave enough to list our annual Oscar picks, as well as the fan favorites according to yahoo.com. This year does seem to lack the buzz of years past. Who would have thought the real news could take away from celebrity news in today's America? Yet that's exactly the case as events in Egypt, Libya, and Wisconsin have taken the spotlight off Hollywood. Will these Oscars stand and deliver or will there be blood? One thing's for certain, there's no film to root against this year like 2010 (when we rooted whole-heartedly against James Cameron's Avatar). We won't be watching the whole thing, of course. We do have lives. But we'll be tweeting the lowlights.
For a unique look at the ten nominees for Best Picture, MTV has a cool feature with 2 second GIFs that provide an idea of the theme and look of each film. As for our picks, The King's Speech could easily be renamed The King's Acceptance Speech after tonight. We are predicting it to come out the winner in several categories, including top honors.
