Who won the Razzie this year for Worst Supporting Actor?

Oscar afficianardo Ernest P. Kern has made his fearless predictions for the Oscars on Sunday. Here goes.

Best Picture- “The Aviator” 33 of the last 37 movies to lead
in nominations won Best Picture. The 4 that didn’t was either the first
part of a trilogy (Lord of the Rings – The Fellowship of the Ring) or
starred Warren Beatty (Bonnie and Clyde, Reds, Bugsy) The Aviator is
neither part of a trilogy or has Warren Beatty .

Best Actor – Jamie Foxx – “Ray” If there is such a thing as a LOCK this is it.

Best Actress – Hilary Swank – “Million Dollar Baby” I would estimate more
members saw this performance than the other 4 combined.

Best Supporting Actor – I’m going out on a limb here. Clive Owen won a
Golden Globe. Morgan Freeman won the SAG award. I’m predicting Thomas Haden Church for “Sideways” The Academy will want to give “Sideways” more than just an Adapted Screenplay Award.

Best Supporting Actress – Cate Blanchett – “The Aviator” The Academy loves it when a Lead takes a Supporting role (ex. Renee Zellweger last year)

Best Director – Martin Scorsese – “The Aviator” The Academy is tired of hearing “THE WORLD’S GREATEST LIVING DIRECTOR who’s never won an academy award” If he doesn’t win there will be a BIG push to get him a Lifetime Achievement Award. (Like what they did with Hitchcock)

Hey, I’ve started compiling some good Hunter quotes, and as I am reading one of his books of letters right now, I am sure I’ll have more coming. If you’ve got any good ones, feel free to add them. Also, here’s a funny article by Tom Wolfe about the times he spent with Hunter. And here’s a short but wonderful eulogy by his famous artist friend Ralph Steadman. Finally, check out my eulogy to the good doctor on the message board. Click below to see the quotes.

A pathetic Johnny Goodtimes returned to Capitol Hill this morning (wait, Capitol Hill, Capitol Grill, I just got the play on words! Just now! Seriously. I’m a moron.) to apologize to the outraged patrons of O’Neals who played quizzo last night. “Maroon 5 totally blows, I know they totally blow, and still I played one of their songs last night. It was indefensible. Yeah, I’ve played Richard Marx and Bryan Adams in the past, but at least they are amusing. Maroon 5 just f****** sucks, and there was no excuse for me to play that bulls***. This is one of the most humiliating days of my life.” A tearful Goodtimes was too choked up to finish his speech, and had to be escorted away by Tom Daschle.

What has two thumbs and hates Barry Bonds? This guy. I’ve been a basball fan for a long time, and one of my most cherished memories of the sport is Barry Bonds flubbing a ground ball during the Giants collapse in the 2002 World Series. Needless to say, his interview yesterday certainly didn’t gain him any more fans. But he did make an interesting point about Babe Ruth being white and him being black. Especially since there are many people who think that Babe Ruth isn’t white.

In what city was Hunter S. Thompson born? And here’s a collection of interviews about Thompson as a youngster.

Okay, the best three team names of the past week were:
My girlfriend can’t fight, but you should see her box
FREE MUMIA (With the purchase of any Mumia of equal or lesser value)
Weekend at Bernie’s 3: Vatican City

Good job, gang.

Remember Tuesday, when the sun was shining and black and white people were playing music together in the park? That was so kool. Damn wind. Oh yeah, and that 3 on 3 tourney I told you about the other day got cancelled. Finally, the new poll is up. Tell me what the worst love song is, ever.

Just weeks after the worst cover story in the history of the printed word, PW had a really good cover story this week about Frankie Smith and the “Double Dutch Bus”. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the article was the fact that Snoop stole Frankie’s Smith’s slang and called it his own.
Today, when Smith hears kids saying “izzle,” a word rapper Snoop Dogg claims to have originated, he shakes his head. He says the word “izzle” came from the pig latin slang of “Double Dutch Bus.” Smith says he thought about going to the tabloids with the story, envisioning headlines like, “GANGSTA RAPPER STEALS ‘IZZLE’ FROM ‘DOUBLE DUTCH BUS’ MAN,” but he doesn’t want to make enemies in the industry.
And after hearing the song, it is blatantly obvious. This wouldn’t be so shocking if Snoop didn’t seem like such a good Christian. Oh, and here’s your chance to see your favorite website shizzolated. (Cut and paste http://www.johnnygoodtimes.com)
