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

Who I would have chosen: Lon Bender and Victor Ray Ennis, Drive.  The only nomination it actually received.

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 : )
