DaColbert Code picks the Oscars
Obsessed at all with Stephen Colbert these days? Guilty. But hey, the guy's on fire, and he seems preoccupied with all manner of awards, which makes him even more of a must-see for Gold Rush.
His latest, from last night, shows us his "arcane and mystical power" for picking the winners of the Oscars. It's uncanny, especially since he doesn't bother to see the movies.
Using the word play that he's dubbed DaColbert Code, he comes up with "Slumdog Millionaire" for best picture, unless, of course, it's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," which seemed "pretty important." (His cohort Jon Stewart begs to differ).
Then there's Penelope Cruz for best supporting actress, Heath Ledger for best supporting actor and Kate Winslet for best actress. Though his "logic" led him to Sean Penn for best actor, he rejected that for Comeback Kid Mickey Rourke.
Using a convoluted name-association game that throws Javier Bardem and his Oscar-winning haircut, Richard Simmons, Ace Frehley, playing cards, rice pilaf and Elliott Spitzer all into the same pot is good enough for us.
Wish we'd thought of it. See our Oscar choices here.
