Oscars, Suburbarazzi-style: Ted and I predict the winners

This Friday at 7:30 p.m. EST, Ted Mann and I will join TV reporter Karen DePodwin for a live RNN segment about Sunday’s Academy Awards. I’ll be wearing my tux for only the third time since my senior year in college, so the comedic value of that alone might be worth the tune-in. Here’s another preview of one of the topics slated for discussion. Click here to read the first preview.
We at Suburbarazzi like to make predictions, especially when they involve shiny glorified bowling trophies.
Notice, these Oscar picks are predictions, not necessarily our rooting interests. Let it be known that, with few exceptions, we often root for films, actors and crew members with connections to the Lower Hudson Valley (North Salem resident Alan Menken, New Rochelle resident Ruby Dee, et al.). Also, since I’ve shockingly seen none of the films scoring the major nominations, I’m just going to base my predictions on reviews, buzz and my gut feeling.
But hey, do you really think Oscar voters are any different? I swear, dart boards must have been mailed out with the screeners of “Ordinary People” back in 1980, because that’s the only logical reason why “Raging Bull” didn’t win Best Picture that year.
As a teaser, we won’t reveal the Oscar predictions of TV’s Karen DePodwin until she does so herself on Friday night. (By the way, how fun is it to refer to anyone as “TV’s [actual name]?” I say extremely.) But in the meantime, you’ll have to consider the predictions of Mr. Mann and me. Grain of salt not included.
Ted’s predictions:
Best Picture: “Juno�
Best Actor: Daniel Day Lewis, “There Will Be Blood�
Best Actress: Julie Christie, “Away from Her�
Best Supporting Actor: Hal Holbrook, “Into the Wild�
Best Supporting Actress: Tilda Swinton, “Michael Clayton�
Best Director: Joel and Ethan Coen, “No Country for Old Men�
Chris’ predictions:
Best Picture: “No Country for Old Men�
Best Actor: Daniel Day Lewis, “There Will Be Blood�
Best Actress: Ellen Page, “Juno�
Best Supporting Actor: Javier Bardem, “No Country for Old Men�
Best Supporting Actress: Ruby Dee, “American Gangster�
Best Director: Joel and Ethan Coen, “No Country for Old Men�
