GREAT SUCCESS.
THR liked you, too.
Good show. I guessed 19/24 categories right, which is an all-time high...but I did not win my Oscar pool. Who invited that clown who guessed 22/24?!
Oh wait. I did.
Sunday night was grand. The empty champagne bottles in my trunk prove it.

Oscar noms/I pee my pants
There are a few surprises, some unfortunate (the omission of THE DARK KNIGHT as a best picture nom, some fabulous (the inclusion of Robert Downey Jr in the best supporting actor category for TROPIC THUNDER), some whatever (most nominations to BEN BUTTON...further solidifying its status as the rich man's FORREST GUMP). Hence, I'm going to bate my breath before I make any predictions here. Also going to wait until after the SAGs on Sunday. I'm so conflicted! Something tells me at this rate, I might not be winning my own Oscar pool this year.

Golden Globes 2008: Winners
From Telegraph.co.uk--because apparently, the Brits type lists faster than Americans.
Based on predictions I posted earlier (which I entirely failed to update as I changed my mind after the DGAs and Critics Choice Awards rolled by), I fail at projecting wins. I got nine out of 25. Deplorable! See what I said I expected below as well.
Here is the complete list of winners at the 66th annual Golden Globes:
MOTION PICTURES:
—Picture, Drama: "Slumdog Millionaire." (I actually wanted "Slumdog," but I predicted "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button")
—Picture, Musical or Comedy: "Vicky Christina Barcelona." (Again, I wanted VCB, but I unscrupulously thought they'd go for box-office ball-buster, "Mamma Mia!")
—Actor, Drama: Mickey Rourke, "The Wrestler." (I was torn and never decided on this one)
—Kate Winslet, "Revolutionary Road." (I predicted Anne Hathaway for "Rachel Getting Married")
—Director: Danny Boyle, "Slumdog Millionaire." (I was torn on this one, too, between Boyle and Fincher for "Ben Button")
—Actor, Musical or Comedy: Colin Farrell, "In Bruges." (Never saw it! And I let my crush on Spidey's friend get the best of me.)
—Actress, Musical or Comedy: Sally Hawkins, "Happy-Go-Lucky." (I was torn in all the wrong directions!)
—Supporting Actor: Heath Ledger, "The Dark Knight." (Is this the only guess I got right?)
—Supporting Actress: Kate Winslet, "The Reader." (I guessed Penelope Cruz....)
—Foreign Language Film: "Waltz With Bashir." (One that I definitely meant to change, but I guessed "Gomorrah")
—Animated Film: "Wall-E." (Oh look, I got two right.)
—Screenplay: Simon Beaufoy, "Slumdog Millionaire." (Hooray, got this one, too.)
—Original Score: A.R. Rahman, "Slumdog Millionaire." (I never updated this one; back in December, I was completely clueless.)
—Original Song: "The Wrestler" (performed by Bruce Springsteen, written by Bruce Springsteen), "The Wrestler." Same here.
TELEVISION:
—Series, Drama: "Mad Men." Why did I guess "Dexter"?
—Actor, Drama: Gabriel Byrne, "In Treatment." I'm all over the place. I said Hugh Laurie.
—Actress, Drama: Anna Paquin, "True Blood." Sally Field? Fool!
—Series, Musical or Comedy: "30 Rock." Got this one.
—Actor, Musical or Comedy: Alec Baldwin, "30 Rock." I said Steve Carell, even though I don't watch that show. Hmm.
—Actress, Musical or Comedy: Tina Fey, "30 Rock." Sincerely meant to change this one. I did not think Debra Messing would win about five minutes after I posted that misguided prediction.
—Miniseries or Movie: "John Adams." Got it!
—Actress, Miniseries or Movie: Laura Linney, "John Adams." I figured "John Adams" would sweep.
—Actor, Miniseries or Movie: Paul Giammatti, "John Adams." (Once again)
—Supporting Actress, Series, Miniseries or Movie: Laura Dern, "Recount." (So I do know a wee bit about TV, it seems.)
—Supporting Actor, Series, Miniseries or Movie: Tom Wilkinson, "John Adams." (End scene.)
Cecil B. DeMille Award: Steven Spielberg.
Okay, there you have it. Next stop: SAGs.

letop5 announces: Top 5 of '08
The Hollywood Reporter had their film critics announce their top 10 films of 2008 this morning. I always think it's a little arbitrary to do "top 10" lists in this métier, seeing as, in doing so, one attempts to compare extremely different films. Can you really compare MADAGASCAR 2 to REVOLUTIONARY ROAD? IRON MAN to DOUBT? I guess the real question is, "Who cares?" (And secondly, "Is MADAGASCAR 2 really in your top 10?" Answer: No.) But in the spirit of egotistically believing my opinion is useful to society, I'm here to do just what those critics did.
**As a note...I haven't seen FROST/NIXON. Or THE WRESTLER. Or MAN ON WIRE. Or a few others. So my list below is basically moot. But again, who cares? These are the top 10 movies of the year out of the films I've seen.
**As a final note, the list is a little "weighted," as it were, for Award-worthy-ness--which explains why, neither IRON MAN nor THE DARK KNIGHT, i.e. the only films that I rated cinq de cinq (that's five of five) earlier this year, appear as #1.
letop5'S TOP FIVE (PLUS FIVE MORE)
1. Slumdog Millionaire [letop5 review]
2. The Dark Knight [letop5 review]
3. Milk [letop5 review]
4. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button [letop5 review]
5. Iron Man [letop5 review: le first and le second]
6. Revolutionary Road [letop5 review]
7. Vicky Cristina Barcelona [letop5 review]
8. The Fall [letop5 review]
9. Kisses [letop5 review]
10. Doubt [letop5 review]
Do you have opinions?
* - * - * - * - *
AMENDMENT 03Jan09: I've never amended a post before. But having seen a few more films, I have to change my list a bit. Sorry to the movies that are about to fall off my prestigious roster, but it was inevitable with Clint Eastwood in the room.
letop5'S NEW TOP FIVE (PLUS FIVE MORE) - 03 Jan 2009
1. Slumdog Millionaire [letop5 review]
2. The Dark Knight [letop5 review]
3. Milk [letop5 review]

5. Iron Man [letop5 review: le first and le second]
6. Gran Torino [letop5 review]
7. Revolutionary Road [letop5 review]
8. Frost/Nixon [letop5 review]
9. Vicky Cristina Barcelona [letop5 review]
10. The Fall [letop5 review] (or Doubt, if we're talking awards-winner talk)
New year, new thoughts! Let's see what happens at the Globes.

Golden Globes nominees announced (letop5 picks the picks)
Please see below for the list of Golden Globes nominations, as well as my *current* predictions (in bold). You know, I might change my mind or be wrong. But for now (and still not having seen all the movies, keep in mind), here's what I'm thinking....
HOLLYWOOD FOREIGN PRESS ASSOCIATION 2008 GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS NOMINATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008
1. BEST MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA

I haven't seen it yet, but it's not political, and it's not too foreign; that's why I'm predicting it. Who knows, though, it might suck.
2. BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA
1. ANNE HATHAWAY – RACHEL GETTING MARRIED
