Dish has been under the weather with the Celine Dion virus for several days now so I can't put in as much 1. If The Help wins Best Picture, I will never ever watch the Oscars again. It was boring (but had some great performances by Viola Davis and Jessica Chastain). This would be the politically correct choice, which the Academy often goes with and it's Steel Magnolia-esque, but the pacing is WAY off. Read the book instead.
2. If The Descendants wins Best Picture, my cynicism will be unmanageable. Again, Dish had a pacing issue with this one. Performances were good, Clooney was good but Michael Clayton was his shining star, not this.
3. The Best Actor/Actress: I want Jean DuJardin to win. He did something so wonderful--and different--on screen, aside from the usual reacting to catastrophic event and picking up the pieces crap. For Best Actress, I'd be happy with any of these babes: Meryl, Michelle, Viola. They were fantastic.
4. The Tree of Life has to win something. It was the most visually stunning movie last year
This may be sinful but I'm going to DVR the event since I can't stay up late to watch to the end. Monday I'll take a vow of no-Internets so that I can see who wins. Do you think Billy Crystal will be amazing or anti-climactic?

Should DM do the Oscar autopsy in Dish's place? There's the fear that neither The Artist nor Jean Du Jardin will win. Then DM will have a real fit.
I agree. If they give it to The Help, I will never ever ever watch The Oscars again. Dish is at a crossroads.
