The 84th Academy Awards – Revised

Another year of Oscars, another year I disagree.

Best Picture: The Artist.  The What?!
What I would have chosen: Drive


Best Director: Michel Hazanavicius, The Artist
Who I would have chosen: Nicolas Winding Refn, Drive
Refn


Best Actress: Meryl Streep, The Iron Lady
Who I would have chosen: Carey Mulligan, Drive


Best Actor: Jean Dujardin, The Artist
Who I would have chosen: Ryan Gosling, Drive.  Not even a nomination, what a travesty!


Best Supporting Actress: Octavia Spencer, The Help
Who I would have chosen: I won’t dispute this one.  Drive didn’t really allot enough time for a supporting actress.

Best Supporting Actor: Christopher Plummer, Beginners. 
Who I would have chosen: Albert Brooks, Drive
Brooks


Best Adapted Screenplay: Alexander Payne, Jim Rash and Nat Faxon, The Descendants
Who I would have chosen: Hossein Amini, Drive
Amini far right


Best Sound Editing: Philip Stockton and Eugene Gearty, Hugo
Who I would have chosen: Lon Bender and Victor Ray Ennis, Drive.  The only nomination it actually received.
Bender


Best Costume Design: Mark Bridges, The Artist
Who I would have chosen: Erin Benach, Drive.  That scorpion jacket!  So cool! 


Oh well, maybe they'll ask my opinion next year : )

    I get so disappointed every time I go, it is just not worth the $. actually we did see Mighty Macs..but it cost $75 for all of us ...it was still a very good movie!
