And The Oscar Goes To...


Mickey Rourke. That's who I want Oscar to go home with. What a full circle that would be.

I'm an Oscar Watcher. Not always being so much into the winners --think "The English Patient" and "Shakespeare in Love"--also even tho I'm a Tom Hanks Honey, "Forrest Gump" should have run, Forrest, run to the folks of "Shawshank Redemption" and give em his Oscar. Yet, I start out with the show and I all ready know I'll be ask "Why isn't Billy Crystal or even Jon Stewart or even Chris Rock or even Whoopi the host tonight?" No offense to Hugh Jackman. He may be quite good. I hope so. Because three hours of just looking at his looks will grow stale.

Back to Mickey. Yep, I'd like to see him win. Thought he was hot back in the 80's. Then, well--he went kinda nuts. I realize Sean Penn may take Oscar for 'Milk"--however, a girl can always wish for the envelope to say something in her favor.

Marisa Tomei in 1993, anyone? I, too, always wondered if Jack Palance got it wrong. Yet, "The Wrestler" is a turnpike away from "Cousin Vinny" II'd feel certain if Marisa wins---Marisa wins.

Get the popcorn ready.

I'm in your corner Mickey.

Saturday Shine

Headed to see "The Wrestler" starring Mickey Rourke today. I remember Mickey, back in the 80's, when the best was yet to come was right in front of him. And Mickey was smokin, sizzlin HOT. Something happened. And not all good that detoured his path. All those trials, all those consquences got Mickey to this day. And to be the star of this film. A darn bright good one at that.

The Holidays are pretty much right here. Yep.  Especially since three Christmas movies, in the last three days, between Lifetime and Ha...
