Seems like every year lately, there has to be a "cause" or "theme" surrounding the Oscars in order to make Hollywood feel like they care. Lately it seems like it was geared towards the "plight" of African Americans starting with Trayvon Martin. Killed in 2012, what wins best picture in 2013? - "12 Years A Slave" & Supporting Actress Lupita Nyong'o.....
2015 was the "Oscars So White" movement, so what wins the next year? Moonlight, Mahershala Ali - supporting actor, Viola Davis - supporting actress.....
So, now, what does that mean this year? #Time'sUp, Harvey Weinstein, #MeToo, Trump "Grab 'em by the P----" - - You guessed it, "The Empowered Woman"!
The fact that James Franco just WON a Golden Globe, and now he's not even nominated?!?!? What does that tell you? So, here's my picks, and I'll start each category with my most favorite on down to my least favorite and the current odds:
Best Picture:
3 Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri - +120 - r@ped & murdered daughter, mother fighting the system - all that's missing is someone kicking Trump in the b@lls.....
The Shape Of Water - -140 - Mute woman with special powers, g@y dude, & sassy black woman. That's all you need to know.....
Lady Bird - +750 - Stars a woman, co-stars a woman, written & directed by a woman, involves a woman and her mother - who is also a woman. Did I mention, woman? "WOMAN"!!!!
Best Director:
Greta Gerwig = +650 - (woman)
Guillermo Del Toro = -325 - (Mexican, think Trump & "Build The Wall")
Jordan Peele = +2000 - (C'mon, do I have to say why?)
Best Actor:
Daniel Kaluuya = +1500
Denzel Washington = +3000
Basically, anyone except the white dudes.....
Best Actress:
Meryl Streep = +4500 - take "empowered woman" who probably has a few "harassment" stories chambered, who hates Trump, and gives crazy speeches. EXACTLY what this Oscars needs!!! I know she's my longshot, but I can't see them giving this to any of the other nominees. Plus, SHE'S MERYL FRIGGIN' STREEP!!!
Best Supporting Actor:
ehhhhh, it's all straight white males.... I don't know, Willem Dafoe +350.....
Best Supporting Actress:
Either Laurie Metcalf +375, or Mary J. Blige +1000 - - mainly because of the "empowerment" these women's characters faced in the movies they were in.....
Good Luck All!!!!
