I love love love awards shows. Back in the glory days, I would have fabulous Oscar parties where no one would dress up, but we'd all eat only yellow/golden/orange food. I get very excited about monochromatic edibles. We'd all sit around sipping champagne, eating twinkies, Mac n' Cheese, kettle korn and petite quiche. With a completed ballot at hand, of course.
So here are my Oscar predictions - based NOT on who I think will win, but who I think DESERVES to win. Always a sure loser. (I left out a few that I don't care about)
Leading Actor - Jeff Bridges, "Crazy Heart"
Supporting Actor - Christopher Waltz, "Inglorious Bastards"
Leading Actress - Carey Mulligan, "An Education"
Supporting Actress - Mo'Nique, "Precious"
Animated Feature - "Up"
Art Direction - "Avatar"
Cinematography - "Inglorious Bastards"
Costume Design - "Coco before Chanel"
Directing - "Inglorious Bastards"
Film Editing - "District 9"
Original Score - "Fantastic Mr. Fox"
Original Song - "The Weary Kind," from "Crazy Heart"
Visual Effects - "Avatar" (grudgingly)
Adapted Screenplay - "District 9"
Original Screenplay - "Inglorious Bastards"
Best Picture - a tie between "Inglorious Bastards" and "District 9" (Blind Side? Are you F-ing kidding me?? If Bullock wins you'll hear me screaming from the arctic)

Welcome
After spending 2 years living on the rugged coast of Northeastern Scotland, a job now takes us to Fairbanks Alaska. Originally from Oregon, I am a writer, a mother, an aspiring frontier woman, a nostalgia junkie, and a book addict. I call myself a trailer wife, which refers to the state of a person (most often a woman) who is caught up in the professional trajectory of their spouse. This blog will chronicle my journey between two places I never, ever, imagined I'd call home.

These are very good predictions. I also like how TipTop Search Engine has analyzed lots of tweets to help anyone pick winners at http://ftt.nu/oscars
