We’ve never really tried the good ol’ live blog before here at PMA, and I figured that tonight would be a great time to give it a shot. So get your computers ready for what should be an awesome experience…I hope you all watch along with PMA at your fingertips.
We’ll use this post as a talk-back: what are your Oscar predictions? Give me your picks for Best Picture, Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Director, Score and Song. Click on for my predictions.
Best Picture: Slumdog Millionaire, in a deserved victory.
Best Actor: Mickey Rourke.
Best Actress: Kate Winslet.
Best Supporting Actor: No doubt- this one goes to Ledger for his stunning, groundbreaking work: he’s created the all-time classic movie villain.
Best Supporting Actress: Taraji P. Henson, for her excellent performance in “Benjamin Button.” Although Viola Davis has a good shot too.
Best Director: Danny Boyle, for his fantastic work on “Slumdog.”
Best Score: A.R. Rahman‘s terrific “Slumdog” score.
Best Song: “O Saya,” by A.R. Rahman and M.I.A..
If you can’t tell, I loved “Slumdog,” and I expect it to be the night’s big winner. How about you? And are you excited for PMA’s first live blog?

Penelope Cruz has got it in the bag. Taraji, i love her, but not happening.
Also, maybe you can answer why the EFF Zac Efron is presenting an oscar?
Might as well have Paris Hilton and The Twilight guy….
God, the world really is ending.
I totally agree with you on Ledger for best supporting actor, and I’m really starting to wish I’d seen “Slumdog Millionaire.” My nomination for best live action short film would have to be “New Boy.” I’m just saying that because it’s a really well-done, touching film.
I hate Zac Efron.
Slumdog ftw!
Im excited guys.
Basically, if Kate Winslet doesn’t win, I will have a bitch fit
It would be so great if Milk won best picture. I’m so over the Slumdog hype. Milk was better.
Kudos! how is this “live blog” thing working anyway?
I haven’t seen “Milk” yet actually Angela, but I’m sure it would be my favorite or second-favorite based off of what I’ve heard from my good movie friends. I’ve tried and failed a few times to see it, it’s a long story.
And Jared, the live blog will work like this: I’ll set up a new post just as the Awards show starts, and will continue to update it minute-by-minute with my Oscar thoughts…and all of PMA’s loyal followers are invited to watch and comment along with me!
My god lqtm Luis I don`t really care but its Ashley not Angela! I mean for every comment you replace the persons name with a name from the office that starts with the same letter. And i`ve decided to use lqtm instead of lol, it means laughing quietly to myself. More honest. And Milk deserved best picture.
Haha that’s really funny that I messed that up- thanks for the heads up Donald. And it’s Adam, not Luis. GET YOUR NAMES RIGHT!
