Oscar Gold

OK, so tonight's the big night and today a whole lot of women in Hollywood aren't eating so they look their skinny best in their designer dress and fans wait to get a glimpse of their idols. It is nerve-wracking because everything must come together at the zero hour, ensembles, meals, red carpet, everything, and we know that not all the limos will be able to get through traffic on time. So, basically everyone's stressed while dressed to the nines. Now, who do I think will win? This year, I don't find that question so interesting. The front-runners are due something for a body of work and there are some interesting omissions like Brad Pitt for Best Actor. I think Jennifer Hudson is a nice girl but to win an Oscar? No. Also, how can Eddie Murphy be up there too, on that stage with Helen Mirren? He is just playing himself. Although, the Black community finally has entered into this race in the last few years and more power to them! At any rate, I like to see people get recognition for their work, whomever is chosen. And I feel that the nominated are all winners because they are usually the cream of the crop. Too bad there is only one winner in each category. It's a glamour parade. Hooray! As a media lap dog I'll be watching even if I miss my favorite shows on TV tonight.
