Congrats to Eric and PaulyO
Oscar Pool 2006 is behind us and, thanks to my annual idiotic tiebreaker which never actually breaks the tie, we end in a tie. PaulyO and Eric both hit with 18 correct picks. I trailed at 15 and Melissa with a nine.
Having watched "Crash" over the weekend, only Hollywood-style liberal guilt could propel that movie to best picture. "Capote" was better; "Good Night, and Good Luck." was better. I didn't see "Brokeback Mountain" yet, but I'm willing to believe that it was better too. "Crash" wasn't bad, but it was preachy, contrived and obvious.
Nice job by Jon Stewart -- nothing spectacular, but he kept the show moving and got a couple laughs here and there. Liked the faux policial ads and the gay western montage. Reese Witherspoon had the best speech of the night, but that wasn't difficult.
I'm fairly convinced that the role of Dolly Parton was played by a Dollywood automaton.
That is all... if you want the list of scores, here you go. Good night, and see you next year.
