Oscars '07

[Vas Deferens]

I remember renting Poseidon and turning it off after 30 minutes. I remember a dad and daughter getting personal with each other at the same time the boat is sinking! WTF! Don't you have to choose safety first?! Bottom line: It's a very bad film!

[vansmack]

Ricky Bobby, end of story.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Hey Smackie, you think Tony's going to win the 500?

[vansmack]

Of course I do.  Unless Kyle Busch decides it's payback time for the Bud shootout....

[renton007]

I'm going with Casey Mears.  I read he has Darrien Grubb (sp?) as his new crew chief.  Grubb was Chad Knaus's sub when he was suspened last year.  He helped Jimmy Johnson win two of the first 5 races, including Daytona.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I'm picking Stewart, as I did in the Shootout.
 
 I read in the Sporting News that Gilbert Arenas is picking Mears.

Eddie Murphy will be denied the Oscar as retribution for Norbit (a film that both Buck Satan and his wife indubitably adored).

[nkotb]

What's the deal with that Norbit story?  I heard something about it, but didn't get the whole scoop.  
 
 Can the Academy really deny him an Oscar because Norbit is such a turd?  There has to be more to it, right?

Pluto Nash

[sweetcell]

hi - does anyone know when tickets for the Oscars go on sale to the general public?  does anyone think they'll sell out?

 Actor/supporting:  Alan Arkin
 Actress:  Helen Mirren
 Actress/supporting:  Jennifer Hudson
 Screenplay Adapted:  Little Children

 This is whom I would like to win.  I have a feeling Eddie Murphy will probably win.  And, if it goes like last year, Babel will win best picture because it's the crappiest one nominated.  (See last year's winner, Crash, which I thought was one of the worst movies I'd ever seen.)

They can't give Marvin Scorcese an Oscar because of what he said in Taxi Driver about the effects of a 44 cailber magnum on a woman's pussy.  Very politcally incorrect. Also there's a SCAR in Oscar.  I'm picking my nose.
