DDL won in the category as best actor and so did the screenplay for Juno. How did you know?? You're friends with a person from the committee, right? But I have to say: my vote had gone to Johnny Depp!</p> I just saw 30 minutes of the Oscar ceremony and what shall I say? DDL won in the category as best actor and so did the screenplay for Juno.

That doesn't bode well for me since you have seen pretty much everything nominated and I, alas, have not. Hopefully I'll still win my Oscar contest with my picks :)</p> I actually disagree with you this year on almost everything.

She's done a ton of TV, but NOTHING she's done has penetrated the movie-going conscious. That's what I'm talking about.</p> Jeff: To the voters who don’t watch The Wire (and unfortunately not many do), her resume is bunk.

Obviously you don't watch The Wire. I honestly don't know how to react to this, as The Wire is arguably the best show in the HISTORY of television, and you consider yourself somewhat of an expert. </p> <p>I enjoy your site, but will view The Jay in a new light if you don't watch The Wire (HBO by the way). You're missing out on the apex of awesome. (Amy Ryan is involved prominently in season 2 and has a recurring role after that)</p> Frankly, I’m appalled after reading what you wrote about Amy Ryan, implying that she hasn’t been in ANY other tv shows/movies.

I really liked lil bro Affleck in Assassination of Jesse James. If it wasn't for Javier Bardem... Thoroughly enjoyed your Oscar pitches.
