Ok – Oscars 2009… Although not the brightest set of stars to ever cross the film universe, there still may be something to gain from last years movies… Not a lot, but still a little something…
Called it here first…
Best Picture: “Slumdog Millionaire” Its up against a movie about Richard Nixon (riveting I know) and a Brad Pitt movie - enough said…
Best Actor: Does who cares count? My pick is Clint Eastwood – but since the academy did not nominate the legend - I’d have to go with Mickey Rourke – but I’d rather see all of the actors called up on stage and let Hulk Hogan hold the Oscar in his teeth and see who can wrestle it away from him – that is, if he isn’t still busy campaigning for a position in Oboma’s cabinet… He’s filled them all Hulkster, 2 or three times already… Sorry… Pay them Taxes!
Best Actress: To be honest with you I haven’t really seen any of these pictures… But you got to hate being up against Meryl Streep for any kind of award! It is between Mrs. Streep and Kate Winslet – Go Kate!
Best Director: I hope it is Danny Boyle – but I can’t count out David Fincher… Wait a minute, I found a quarter; (“flip”) I’m gonna go with Boyle…
Best Supporting Actor: Ok – this is really the “Best Actor Category!” It’s got to be between Heath Ledger and Robert Downey Jr. I’m calling the man to be… Posthumously, Ledger… Go watch Dark Knight again and when Mr. Ledger screams “Look at me!” to the captured Batman imposter - tell me you don’t get chills!!! Still scares me… Not the actual scene itself, but the fact that there is “real” acting in a “Batman/Comic Book” movie… No offense to Jack Nicholson and Michael Keaton. Beyond that, MUCH OFFENSE to all! Don’t even get me started on Marvel… Topher Grace as Eddie Brock – come on that is freakin Venom for cryin out loud! Have you even read any of your own comic books?? Might as well cast J.J. from “Good Times” as Captain America or Conan O’Brien as Rouge… Hey, at least Conan’s got red hair…
Best Supporting Actress: I’m leaning towards Penelope Cruz; but if “Benjamin Button” doesn’t win best picture or director, then it will probably go to Taraji Henson.
Best Pixar, I mean, Animated Film: Walllllll- Eeeeeeee – Come on… 1. It is Pixar 2. The major plotline is about pollution destroying planet Earth – Hollywood GOLD : ) “And the Oscar goes to… Johnny Five!” (for all you youngins out there – that was a 1986’s “Short Circuit” reference : )
Best Original Screen Play: These are always fun… It is got to be between Dustin Lance Black for “Milk” or, like I said before, Hollywood Gold - Andrew Stanton, Jim Reardon, Pete Docter for “Wall-E.” “Number 5 is alive!” (again back to 1986)
Best Adapted Screen Play: Got to go with Eric Roth and Robin Swicord for “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” just for making over 2 1/2 hours feel like 10… Or if “Slumdog Millionaire” misses on the Best Picture, look for it to pick up this one…
Let me know what your picks! And the Oscar goes to...
Even if you are slightly challenged in the kitchen area you can make a great “gourmet” meal… All you really need to know is how to boil water!
Take your fish fillets – Salmon, Halibut, etc. and place them in a skillet - they can even be frozen – you will just need to boil them slightly longer.
Fill the skillet with enough water to cover half of the Fish Fillets – this will not be a lot of H2O : )
Bring them to a boil.
Add some black pepper.
After around 5 minutes has passed flip all of your Fish Fillets.
Add a little Garlic Powder and Parsley and let them cook another 4 – 7 minutes.
Take a fresh Lemon, cut it in half and squeeze a nice amount of Lemon juice onto your Salmon Fillets.
Remove the Salmon from the water and serve – I usually squeeze more Lemon onto the Fillets after I put them on the serving plate.
This is a SUPER easy way to cook GREAT tasting Salmon! Cook up some rice and the vegetables of your choice and you are ready to go! And if you are feeling really romantic throw some candle light and roses somewhere in the mix!
