And the Future Best Movie Ever Is . . .

As yet untitled comedy from "Sex and the City" director Michael Patrick King! It's got (you may wanna sit down; oh I am sittin' down) Meryl Streep, Sandra Bullock, and Oprah!!!!!!!!!

Look under your chair because you've just won a new favorite movie!!! I can't wait! I just hope these ladies don't drop out of the movie and it ends up starring Laura Linney, Christina Applegate, and Queen Latifah. (That movie would be okay, but not the epic this 'Death Becomes Her' meets 'While You Were Sleeping' meets 'The Color Purple' film will surely be!)

Meryl Streep Deserves 10 More Oscars

To those of you (paging Kendall) who say "She's won enough"- I submit to you this blurb from the hitfix.com's list of 10 lessons the Academy learned this year.

"Meryl Streep's losses are beginning to become an industry embarrassment

Hollywood, you have a problem. Everyone in this town loves Meryl Streep. She is one of our nation's greatest living artists and over the past five years has made a slew of money for almost every studio in town. However, something has to be done about this cycle of Academy Award losses over the past 25 years (and really Steve and Alec, did you need to rub it in her face again?). Unfortunately, this pundit has no magic solution. It appears Streep can withdraw her name from consideration in future years, but since we all know she more than deserves a third Oscar (or four) why should she? Luckily, for her sake, she has no films on the immediate agenda for 2010 which means a well-needed break from the Oscar game. But at some point, this town needs to stop taking Streep for granted and give her the third Academy Award she so justly deserves."

Yes, she's been nominated 16 times- but she's only won twice! Hillary Swank has two Best Actress Oscars to Meryl's one!! (and she was The Karate Kid 3!!!) I love Sandra Bullock (and Kate Winslet) very much, and don't begrudge either of them a trophy (even though I won't watch 'The Blind Side' til it runs back to back on TBS). BUT! Meryl deserved it last year, she deserved it this year- and dammit! She better get another one soon!

Happy Birthday to the Greatest Living Actress

Meryl Streep turns 60 today!! Have fun blowin' out them candles, girl! We know you will do it with style and somehow turn it into art! We'd watch you give the young girls hell, be a doubtful nun, belt out some Abba on the beach, or even read the phonebook!!

We Told You So!

Above: Sean Penn the only sort-of Oscar surprise.  The rest of the awards we totally called!!

Did you notice how "Slumdog Millionaire" is now the greatest story ever told?? Sorry Jesus!  I don't know- it was good, but really was it that good?? Meredith Viera wasn't even in it and Regis was nowhere to be seen! But whatever it had kids swimming through dookie so I can't complain I guess.  

I do sort of wish Meryl had won- but when I remembered Marion Cotilliard has an Oscar I figured Kate Winslet deserved one by now. Sorry Meryl! But can we start the committee for getting Ms. Streep an award for her Julia Child film coming out this year?? COME ON!!

Most Acclaimed Female Film Star

Ooh! The hotness is right here everyone. 

Which Lady of Film will get an award 2night???? Anyone's guess! Except we know it will not be:

That one lady no one's ever heard of. Count her out!

The Princess Diaries is too young and her movie too shaky! No award!

Angelina has ENOUGH (including an Oscar already)- go home and F#@% Brad Pitt- no sympathies and NO OSCAR!

That leaves Meryl Streep the greatest Actress alive RIGHT NOW- or Kate Winslet the oft nominated but always bridesmaided gal of all trades.  Both have perfected their "I'm so happy I didn't win" looks over their many losses. But which one will get to flaunt that look again this weekend?????

I'm thinking voters will remember how much they loved Titanic and Holocaust movies and Oprah books and will give the award to good old Kate. Even though they loved The Devil Wears Prada and Nuns and New Jersey accents too! I pick Kate Winslet by an eyelash-

but I have SUCH DOUBTS!!!!

Best Performances of '08

In our next podcast Kendall and I carefully dissect every moment of 2008, but we neglected to say our favorite performances of the year.

Needless to say, Heath Ledger's Joker was the best thing since . . . Jack Nicholson's Joker at the very least. When he was not on screen I constantly thought "Where's Joker?? What's Joker doing? Has anyone seen the Joker??" just like I always do for Poochy the rockin' dog. In fact, during the entirety of "Eagle Eye" I was wondering what the old Joker was up to.

Meryl Streep is GOD! She can do anything! "Doubt" is enjoyable for everyone's performances but "Streep is the new Messiah" will be on my Christmas cards next year! "I have such . . . doubts!!!!!" No DOUBT about it she's the entertainer of the millenium.

Was there a funnier person on screen in double-naught-eight than James Franco in "Pineapple Express"? No, dude!!! Spark up a doobie and watch some weird shit in Youtube until next week when the movie hits dvd! A++

Tina Fey is to thank for Obama!!! Yes SHE Can!!! I'm sorry Sarah Palin will be buried under a snow drift for the next 100 years for only one reason: no more Tina Fey as Sarah Palin!

The Bird Carrie wore on her head in her first attempt at marrying Big easily fits in with my top 3 birds of all time (the other two being Woodstock and Channel 4's Snowbird). Best Bird/Hair Ornament/Conversation Piece of the decade!!!

What were your faves???
