BEST PICTURE
Nominees: Black Swan, The Fighter, Inception, The Kids Are All Right, The King's Speech, 127 Hours, The Social Network, Toy Story 3, True Grit, Winter's Bone
Prediction: “The King’s Speech”
The bottom line: while Oscar voters appear to really like “The Social Network,” they LOVE “The King’s Speech.” In many ways, it’s a throwback to the Oscar film of yesterday – like “Casablanca,” “Around the World in 80 Days,” “Lawrence of Arabia,” “The Godfather” and “Out of Africa.” Grand art direction and costumes, beautiful cinematography and score, magnificent performances and an examination of history – “The King’s Speech” has it all.
Come Sunday night, it will have the Best Picture Oscar, as well.
BEST ACTOR
Prediction: Colin Firth, “The King’s Speech”
BEST ACTRESS
Prediction: Natalie Portman, “Black Swan”
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Prediction: Christian Bale, “The Fighter”
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Prediction: Melissa Leo, “The Fighter”

His name is John Hawkes and he played Sol Starr in DEADWOOD as well as Teardop in WINTER's BONE.
Hawkes character is scary but he loves the girl..as he should..she’s his blood and those jokers killed his brother
even if his brother was a rake...you still can’t take that lying down
i liked that flick so much I told my wife about it first thing the next morning
Hawkes was sympathetic in Deadwood too you know..took in the whore and was sort of the conscience of the show..man that series had way too much cursing..even for me....and all the children die and the women are mostly treated so terrible.
You read how folks spoke back them from accounts and that was not accurate. Folks back then did not curse like they were in Australia..
Though Carradines comments about how that jerk who shot him lips look when he speaks has never left me...I think that when someone is speaking to me that irritates me or is full of themself
it’s hard to imagine..you turn around and they are so grown up
Boys on dirt bikes
Girls nearing mid 20s
Good lord and me eyeing 60 getting closer
How did all this happen?
I want to be back at Prep in 73 in a Van with curtains sharing a doobie before class grooving to Ziggy Stardust with not a care in the world..
LOL!
I would love to be in a night club, on the dance floor listening, and dancing my heart out to, BTO, Cream...and other such bands.
I’ll be 60 in April.
I can’t wait until my next reunion. I’m going to hijack some of the local single guys and freak dance with them.
Lordy...the eyebrows that will be raised! lol
