My pal Andy Ihnatko seems to think I stole the notion of Live Oscar Blogging from him. Can he be so utterly unaware that Live Oscar Blogging goes back to the days of Edison? That it was all the rage back in the days of D.W. Griffith, back before the Internet had sound or color? Admittedly, before the first Academy Awards ceremony in 1929, Live Oscar Blogging mostly consisted of people posting, "I hope someone starts giving out an award called an Oscar some day," but the idea was there, at least.
Yeah, I guess I did steal the idea from Andy. So in return, I'll plug his page of Oscar predictions. They are all brilliantly picked and wisely deduced, except where they disagree with me since I'm right and he's wrong. Matter of fact, if the Academy presents the awards tonight except as I indicated, they're wrong, too.
