Before we get to this week's Weekly Round Up - OSCAR EDITION, if you haven't already, don't forget to vote in the TMMC Oscars Sweepstakes for your chance to win a $50 gift card to Fandango.com or a movie theater of your choice. Entering is simple and even a guess is worth the chance to win free money. Even the stimulus isn't just handing out free money to you. ENTER HERE!
- Our beloved Baaabwaaa Waaawaaa, or Barbara Walters for you New England folk, is taking her last curtain call. No, she's not dead yet, she's just hosting her last Oscar special after more than 20 years. Read more.
- Earlier this week, TMMC brought you the story that Sacha Baron Cohen was announced as a presenter for Sunday's awards. Not so fast - looks like he ended up getting axed for mocking Avatar. Apparently James Cameron really has become the Godfather of Hollywood. Beware Kathryn Bigelow! Read more.
- This week TMMC has also kept you a breast of the rollercoaster scandals surrounding The Hurt Locker. In case you missed it and decided not to keep up with our little blog, ahem, ABC News has done a nice piece recapping the drama and posing the question "Will Hurt Locker be Hurt by Controversy?" Yes, ABC News is doing so poorly they've become a TMMC contributor. Read more.
- You may have missed this one, but the Oscars may not appear on t.v. in the NYC area this year. That breeze you just felt was 10 million gay men gasping at once. Another corporate feud between Cablevision and WABC (NY) threatens to pull the channel from the cable provider's line up just in time for Sunday. Read more.
- And even though I haven't expressed my excitement enough this week, ALICE AND WONDERLAND COMES OUT TODAY! I'm probably looking forward to this more than the Oscars themselves, which must mean the movie's going to suck. I know, I need to start lowering expectations like the White House. Don your mad hatters and blue dresses and look for my review of it next week.
Exhausted and panting, and despite defecating in my shorts back at mile 17, my marathon to watch as many Oscar nominated films as possible comes to a close. Unfortunately, I could not complete the task as I had hoped, seeing only 28 of the 58 movies nominated for awards this year. Still, the band aids covering my nipples so I didn't rub them raw was a smart idea, and I'm very proud of my overall effort.
So, have a great weekend and good luck on your Oscar party preparations....don't forget to print out your ballots and/or bingo cards, fix yourself a Martini straight UP and start defrosting your Inglourious Basterds in a blanket, Kosher of course. Enjoy Sunday's festivities and follow TMMCritic on Twitter throughout the show to get my take on the shenanigans as they unfold. I'll see you right back here Monday morning with the Oscars Sweepstakes winner and the results of my predictions.
Without further ado ladies and gentlemen, I give you the 2010 TMMC Oscar predictions...curtains please.
