The TOSCARS™


I didn't make it through most of the Academy Awards, but the biggest winner during last night’s Oscars seemed to be racism.
·      Billy Crystal “After I saw The Help, I wanted to hug a black person. But I live in Beverly Hills, so that’s like a 45-minute drive.”
·      Chris Rock: “If you’re a black voice actor, you can play a zebra or a donkey. You can’t play white!”

I only saw one movie nominated for Best Picture, but that doesn’t mean I can’t give my own awards:

Best Looking Picture
Tree of Life

Best Actor delivering two completely divergent performances
Ryan Gossling (Crazy. Stupid. Love. and Drive)

Best Actress based on one scene
Elle Fanning in Super 8

Best Movies involving aliens
Super 8/Paul

Best Pictures involving superheroes
Thor/Captain America/X-men First Class

Best Comedy for the ladies, by the ladies
Bridesmaids

Best Popcorn Movie
Source Code

Biggest Surprise
Win-Win

Movies that should have been considerably better, considering the cast
Horrible Bosses
Hangover 2

Congrats to all of the winners.
