“And the Oscar goes to…”
Amidst all of the usual suck and fuck action–I’m referring to my reviewing of gay adult sites, of course–it had nearly slipped my mind that in less than a week, it will be Oscar time. Not a big deal to some, I realize, but being as much of a fan of film as I am porn, it’s a big deal to me. And as always, like many, I will be participating in an Oscar pool, with hopes of pulling off my own Academy Award victory of sorts.
This year, I’ve seen most of the nominated films (aside from The Curious Case of Benjamin Button; I’m sorry, but I haven’t had the required 3 hours of spare time on my hands in order to check that one out) but alas, that doesn’t mean that I’m any closer to predicting the winners. Having said that though, here are my predictions for this year’s edition of the Oscars:
Actor - Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler
Supporting Actor - Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight
Actress - Kate Winslet in The Reader
Supporting Actress - Penelope Cruz in Vicky Cristina Barcelona

Check out the full listing of nominees for yourself and if you are participating in an Oscar pool, then my fingers are crossed that you win; unless of course you’re participating in the same pool as I am!
Cheerio!
