...and the Oscar goes to...

Every year we make it a tradition to watch the Academy Awards, every year when the best picture nominations are announced we have the same response... 'I never even heard of that one'... but that does not stop us from making predictions. So, without further ado - here are my (Rob's) predictions on who will take home the Oscar tonight.

BEST PICTURE

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE

I haven't seen it but have heard a lot of buzz. Usually the film with the most talk about winning usually wins) We never needed another film about Nixon, who wants to see Brad Pitt as an old man?, Sean Pean is over-rated, who even heard of 'the Reader'? (I think they made that one up to fill the slot).. and I'm still mad that 'Stepbrothers' was not nominated!

BEST DIRECTOR

DANNY BOYLE (Slumdog Millionaire)

I think most times the best picture and director go hand in hand

BEST ACTOR

MICKEY ROURKE

From what I've heard as far as reviews and watching the movie trailers this looks pretty much autobiographical and everyone loves a good comeback - unless it's Steve Guttenberg)

BEST ACTRESS

ANGELINA JOLIE

I base this on the fact that Angelina Jolie is hot (and there should really be a category for being 'hot') and Clint Eastwood directed the movie. It's next in our Netflix Queue.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR

HEATH LEDGER

After watching THE DARK KNIGHT last night I have to say he should win (alive or dead). And with competition like Robert Downey Jr. for the mediocre film 'Tropic Thunder' it's a no brainer. Heath's portrayel of THE JOKER is one of the most frightening villians in movie history (with the exception of Merv Griffin in 'the man with two brains')!

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS

MARISA TOMEI

She will prove this year that her Oscar for 'My Cousin Vinny' was not a fluke! .. oh, and she's still hot (she would win two oscars tonight if we added that category *see above*)

BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY

MILK

I base this on it's the only film, besides WALL-E, I've heard of. We are now nominating animated films for best screenplay? .. oh, the humanity!!!

So, there you have it...

I think I need to write the academy today about their snub of Stepbrothers

A sad ending

So the Eagles lost. I guess the Cardinals just wanted it a little bit more.

It's a sad ending to an incredible run.

What we have to look forward to next year:
Donovan will be off to Chicago.
Andy Reid will be... we'll, hopefully somewhere else.

E-A-G-L-E-S

Today could very well be the day that will make every Eagles fan roll over a car or two... and that's if we win!

Every sunday (all season) I wear the same Eagles shirt. It's the one that says 2004 National Football Conferance CHAMPIONS! Although the didn't win the superbowl (what Eagles fan could forget that?) I like the shirt and it gives me hope that they can get there again!

So, let's hope I can order a new shirt this week...

GO EAGLES!!!

Dance Off Part 2

GET YA DANCIN SHOES ON BOOOYYYY!

Eagles win the division!

That's right... who would have thought that THE EAGLES could possibly be on their way to the Superbowl but now everything is possible!!!! It had to have been that I was wearing my Eagles jersey. One more game to go, folks!!!!!

Saturday Dance Off is on!

It seems that Timmay over at the Woodside has challenged my dance moves! You be the judge. Watch my 'professional choreographed' moves and then go over to JUMPIN at the WOODSIDE (link is down on the right) and see for yourself.

It appears that ole' Timmay needs props and flung shoes to get his dance moves across... just sad.

He's in for a whole world of shock next week when I pull out all the stops!

HAPPY NEW YEAR~!

Just want to wish all my family and friends a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Sue is on the mudslides

Rob is finishing up the Celebration Ale

and Carter has a brand new pack of FLASHIN' FRUIT PUNCH juice boxes!

We're about to watch the new 'journey to the center of the earth' and will attempt to stay up til' midnight.

I'll also be tuning in to the Woodside LIVE ... venture over to the Woodside and get an earfull of great tunes... we're usually there live also but this year just hanging out at home.

-Rob, Sue & Carter Bean
