Today is my second day of tons of meetings, which is especially weird because I almost never have to leave the house. Because I can’t write much, with the subway riding and socializing and small talk, I bring you a brutally honest Oscar Voter’s Ballot from the Hollywood Reporter. Apparently, the guy who narrates it is voting on his 85th Academy Awards — his comment is both hilarious and insightful for Sunday night. Which I will be live blogging, by the way. Awww shit.
BEST ORIGINAL SONG
“This is No-Brainer City: ‘Skyfall’ is one of the best songs that has ever been in the best song category and Adele is f—-ing brilliant. Plus I think it’s about time that a James Bond song won best song. In a way, this is my F-you for not giving it to ‘Live and Let Die’ back in 1973. I will say that ‘Before My Time,’ which is sung by Scarlett Johansson, is pretty good. ‘Pi’s Lullaby’ I couldn’t remember if my life was on the line. ‘Everybody Needs a Best Friend’ is a simple song. And ‘Suddenly’ from Les Miserables is a very boring song and an absolutely blatant attempt to win a best song Oscar; that upsets me. If ‘Skyfall’ does not win I will fillet my next-door neighbor’s dog.”
