The battle for the little golden naked man

We haven’t agreed with the Oscar voters in ages, but we must admit that the field of nominees this year is very strong, and just about everyone in contention for a statuette deserves the nod. Of course there are glaring omissions—where’s the costume nomination for the high-waisted pants in Her?—but the day we predict every nomination correctly is the day the Academy Awards cease to mean anything. So there’s good reason to watch the awards ceremony tomorrow apart from the clothes. It would be a hoot if everyone showed up in character: Cate Blanchett in tattered Chanel, talking to herself; Amy Adams in decolletage past her navel; Jared Leto in the trashiest Gucci gown; Leonardo DiCaprio with a fine dusting of white powder crawling into the theatre on his face; Jennifer Lawrence sniffing nail polish; Matthew McConaughey looking grim and toting a big notebook (No, wait, that’s True Detective)….

The Independent Film Channel holds their Spirit Awards at the Santa Monica pier each year on the day before The Oscars. It looked like 12 Years A Slave cleaned out at the event. I seem to enjoy watching that awards show more than The Oscars just because the Hollywood peeps are more dressed down and seem not to worry about what they look like.

One glaring omission: Julie Delpy in Before Midnight. Of course, she probably torpedoed her Best Actress chances by making statements such as the one below. She has never been reticent about her anti-Hollywood sentiments (and who can blame her?). At least she and Hawke and Linklater were nominated for Adapted Screenplay.
