Guess the Oscar winners
In few days, on 25 February, there will be a red carpet laid in front of the Kodak Theatre and the world famous film celebrities will walk in through the blinding flashlights of hungry paparazzi. Gabriel and me have decided that we would give it a miss this year as we’re extremely busy preparing our holiday in Oz (due next month). Otherwise we would go, we’re not some sort of self-absorbed allenesque farts who ostentatiously enjoy staying behind. While, of course, in no case we’re trying to imply that Woody is.
Where was I? Oh, yes. So the Oscars are to be given away. The Academy shortlisted number of hopefuls (so called nominees) who still have a chance and by the end of the week we get to know who prayed the best.
However, what if we guessed how it’s going to be before it’s going to be? Let’s predict the winners of ten most important categories. And — so you can all laugh out loud next Monday — let me take a guess first:

Best Actor: Peter O’Toole (Venus)
Best Actress: Helen Mirren (The Queen)

Now, let’s see. I hope I won’t have to delete this post once my score turns out to be 0/10.
I’m eager to see your qualified shots. You can find the list of hopefuls here. Go ahead, it’s your turn.

OK, so it’s all over! I didn’t do too well (as usually), only scored 3/10. Could be worse, couldn’t it? Rob did far better (traditionally!), with 6 out of 10, Andy scored lucky one (I feel better now) and Amanda didn’t have a single one right, yet she participated so I guess it does not matter.
And Gabriel, who wasn’t able to put his list together, got one out of one right, so let’s pronounce him a winner and as soon as he comes over Down Under, he’s first to shout. Cheers, mate
