Oscars: A Stream of Consciousness, Part 5

Skipping Best Foreign Film. Haven't seen any of them, but I probably should at some point.

Reese Witherspoon presenting for Best Supporting Actor!

Prediction: Christian Bale had BETTER win this. John Hawkes has a terrific face, but shouldn't have been nominated. Jeremy Renner should not have been nominated either. Sam Rockwell and Andrew Garfield should have been in their place. I like Mark Ruffalo, and am glad he's nominated. The trailer for The Brothers Bloom was kind of embarrassing for him. But he's not going to win. In any other year, I would want Geoffrey Rush to win; I love him and I love the role. But Bale deserves it.

Winner: CHRISTIAN BALE. An excellent choice. Best choice. His beard is so big! And he has no sideburns! What an incredible actor. Such a different person from his roles. A chameleon, like his Batman co-star Gary Oldman. Unrecognizable to the untrained eye.

5/7. Very nice showing so far.
