Academy Awards

Since I work at a movie theater, I believe that it is only right for me to state my opinion on the awards.

BEST PICTURE
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Frost/Nixon
Milk
The Reader
*Slumdog Millionaire
However, I believe that these are not the best representation of the year.


BEST DIRECTOR
*Danny Boyle, Slumdog Millionaire
David Fincher, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Ron Howard, Frost/Nixon
Stephen Daldry, The Reader
Gus Van Sant, Milk


BEST ACTOR
Richard Jenkins, The Visitor
Frank Langella, Frost/Nixon
Sean Penn, Milk
Brad Pitt, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
*Mickey Rourke, The Wrestler
I think that Heath Ledger should have been on here (under this category).


BEST ACTRESS
Anne Hathaway, Rachel Getting Married
Angelina Jolie, Changeling
Melissa Leo, Frozen River
Meryl Streep, Doubt
*Kate Winslet, The Reader


BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Josh Brolin, Milk
*Heath Ledger, The Dark Knight
Robert Downey Jr., Tropic Thunder
Philip Seymour Hoffman, Doubt
Michael Shannon, Revolutionary Road
There's no question about it, of course he'll get the award. I think Shannon would have had a better chance if Ledger was alive.


BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Amy Adams, Doubt
Penélope Cruz, Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Viola Davis, Doubt
Taraji P. Henson, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

IB + Senioritis

This is honestly the worst combination on the face of the earth. SERIOUSLY.
I have to work on a stupid IB physics lab, IB Film commentary, and work on other homework (in general). BUT ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS CUPCAKES.

CUPCAKES.

Holy crap, I am having the worst case of procrastination. Stupid school. It's just so close, but soooooooo far away from the end of this awful box of stupid people. High school sucks. Gah. Senioritis.

EVERY time is yogurt time

Seriously.
I think froyo is always called for. I could seriously go for some original froyo with some berries/fruit in it. mmmmmmmmmmm. Or maybe some vanilla with chocolate stuff. Total PinkBerry/Yogurt Time status.
I think that having my own frozen yogurt bar would be great! If I ever have enough money for a huge house, I will definitely furnish it with a froyo room.

YUM.
