“I am so upset that I cannot vote for Ben Affleck in Director. I think it’s incredibly stupid that if a film wins Best Picture and loses Director, that the Director is not on that ticket. I know that Ben is listed as a Producer but I’m thinking when Gladiator won Best Picture. How can Ridley Scott sit there while these guys go up there and collect Oscars for MY movie. Doesn’t make sense.”
Best Director – David O. Russell for Silver Linings Playbook

“I hated Les Miz so there ain’t no way I’m voting for Hathaway so she’s out. Sally’s in a boring movie so she’s out. And you know what, I wasn’t really impressed with Helen Hunt or Amy Adams. Jacki Weaver’s in my favorite movie so I’m going to throw it her way.”
(asked if there’s someone else she would have put in the lineup that she would vote for over Jacki Weaver)

Best Film Editing – Silver Linings Playbook
“Are you really asking? You know what it is.”

This is totally anecdotal and not particularly relevant, but I thought it was fun.

Like the lack of Argo love, hopefully this translates well.

It would be secretly awesome if SLP ended up winning all 4 acting awards.

Jacki Weaver winning an upset Oscar would be the funniest thing ever. Crabby snacks and homemades! Hathaway would probably be in mourning for 5 years.

These come out every year and they are nothing like what usually wins. BUT say SLP won Picture, Director and all 4 acting categories? OMG! I would DIE!

Post subject:	Re: Six sample voter ballots
Even though small sample size, these could be kind of accurate; I remember there was some article of sample ballots 7 years ago where Crash votes outnumbered Brokeback Mountain. hoping for SLP to pull the upset in either BP and/or BD, even if it is influenced by Weinstein's campaigning. happy that Lincoln is doing poorly across the board (since I was also bored out of my mind by it). I no longer think Jones is the favorite. I think voters after checking off Day-Lewis for his 3rd Lead Oscar will want to let DeNiro get his 3rd Oscar as well (and first in more than 20 years).

I kinda hate this commenter too: Michael Chase Walker wrote: Y' know this is not only brutally honest, but it is a professional assessment made by a professional. I don't agree with all of his choices necessarily, but I agree with his method, logic, breakdown and argumentation. This is a great article because it really gives you insight into how most of the Hollywood players I know think and not the pabulum the idiots over at Entertainment Tonight or Good Morning American spew out. I had to laugh the other night when that nasal bag of blasé Nancy O'Dell referred to herself as an " entertainment news journalist". Say what? ^It's probably the director too, heh. Seriously. What logic? Method? Professional? Argumentation? He'd make Socrates drink 138 cups of hemlock with his reasonings. The guy had inconsistent views on the same set of movies and politicizes the passion system. Ok, granted, we all know that voters do that to some extent but... sheesh. Praising the guy for "honesty" is one thing. Saying he has some sort of logic is absurd.
