Forgot our stun gun

This may sound like a dumb question, but here goes: Who's the genius who shows up to the Emmys with an air rifle in his car?

Not saying that we didn't kind of enjoy watching that show of force from the L.A.P.D. this afternoon when we were trying to get to the Nokia to do our measly little jobs. But we'd really like to strangle that insightful someone who caused The Situation.

It made us so late we had to run. We got sweaty. Hair falling, makeup melting. Not pretty, people!

But now there's the refrigerated press room to crystalize our sweat and start the bone chilling that might've happened anyway because of our piss-poor prediction rate.

We're going in search of coffee and more of those mini-molten things.

Oscar Contenders

  • So "The Dark Knight" didn't make it into the final five after all, never mind that critical and popular support. Let's just call the comic-inspired mega-hit "The Biggest Snubee."

    Here are the best picture contenders in a race that, two weeks away from the Oscars, seems to be a foregone conclusion ("Slumdog") unless there's a come-from-behind possibility ("The Reader" anyone?)

    "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," with Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett; the politically timely "Milk;" rags-to-riches fairy tale, "Slumdog Millionaire," Holocaust best-seller-based drama "The Reader," and Watergate-era biopic "Frost/Nixon."

    Could "Button" and "Slumdog" split the vote, allowing another film to take the prize? Doesn't seem likely. After having clung to "Button" for months as what we thought would be the Academy voters' top vhoice, our money's now on "Slumdog." Momentum can't be ignored.

    Watch this blog for updates, ephemera and all manner of postulating.

Picture this

  • Mmmmm, chocolate Oscar. Not every star will walk away from the 81st annual Academy Awards with a trophy, but if they hit the high-profile Governor's Ball they can have pastry chef Sherry Yard's gold-dusted candy version. Also on the menu from celeb chef Wolfgang Puck is tuna tartare in sesame miso cones, chopped Chino Farms vegetable salad with ginger soy vinaigrette, Maine lobster and caviar. Serve it up!
