Oscars: A Stream of Consciousness, Part 11

In Memoriam montage. Irvin Kirshner died! So sad.

-commercial break-

We're on the final four. Actor, Actress, Director, Picture.

Best Director

Prediction: David Fincher for Director

Hilary Swank is presenting? Oh, just introducing Kathryn Bigelow.

If Tom Hooper wins Best Director then it's over and TKS wins the night. If Fincher wins, it's still up in the air. But it's still totally headed in Social Network's way. Things are unexpectedly working out in its favor, not necessarily in beating TKS, but in everything else beating TKS in the minor and tech categories.

This is it. This is what this season is coming down to. Will there be a split? History is being made either way. Here we go.

Winner: TOM HOOPER??????????? NO NO NO NO NO. NOOOOOOO. No!

The King's Speech is going to win Best Picture. Sasha Stone was half-right. Wow. What a boring conclusion to the Oscars. He does NOT deserve this. Fincher does. Nolan does. Even Aronofsky. Such a year for visionary filmmakers, and the most blandly-directed film gets Picture and Director. A travesty. It's over, and it's sad. A tragic ending.

13/17.
