I think it may be Oscar Weekend, but I'm not absolutely sure. I should have a ballot or something to follow along, just in case I actually watch the ceremony. I have a spotty history of Oscar viewing.
Maybe I should start with a list of the awards up for grabs . . . nahhhh, too time-consuming. I can remember the important ones.
Okay, here are my picks, based on my 2007 movie-going experience:
Best Supporting Actor: Anton Ego, "Ratatouille."

Best Hair: Colette, "Ratatouille."

Best Vermin: Remy, "Ratatouille."

Best Use of Household Utensils in Unconventional and Endearing Fashion: Linguini, "Ratatouille."

Best Embodiment of Snooty Parisian in a Domestic Film: Skinner, "Ratatouille."
(Graphic stolen from these guys)
Best High-End Cookware Appearing in a Domestic Film and NOT in My Sordid Feverish Domestic Dreams: Gusteau's Copper Pans, "Ratatouille."

Folks, the votes are in, and that should tell you all you need to know about this year's Oscars, and about me. Happy Oscars! Merci beaucoup. Bon nuit.









You totally and completely forgot Best Supporting Eater -- that chubby non-gourmond friend/relation of Remy's who pushes him to cook ever better by not appreciating the delicacy of fois gras -- or whatever it is they trashpick. But I'm impressed to see how well and carefully you've watched your one movie all year that you remembered ALL their names. I have no idea about most of them. Which is pretty much always where I am on Oscar's weekend. And your Cookware prize is genius. So, you're way ahead of me. You must be so proud!

I think I'd like to hear more about these sordid feverish domestic dreams! Sounds interesting!

I love your picks. As you know Pixar movies rock my world. I think there's room there for Remy's dad in best change of heart!
Thanks for making my morning so happy!

Ratatouille was Grant's first movie to see in the theatre. Therefore I remember nothing about it except him throwing popcorn on the patrons in front of us, and scream/talking to the ones behind. I was the only one amused. ;)
