I think you got it right with The Omen. Jerry Goldsmith at his almost finest (Chinatown is still tops).

And anyone who names a Marco Beltrami score gets a slap in the face.

The site is completely down now, which certainly could lend some credence to its authenticity. Or it could just be whoever put it up messing with people who are still playing along.

I think I'll stick to my picks on this one. No way Amy Adams wins for that insipid performance in Doubt. I just can't see it!

That particular trifecta of best picture, editing and screenplay has actually only happened three times in the past ten years: Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Crash and the Departed.

Foreign film does seem flat out wrong, though. I can't imagine Waltz With Bashir NOT winning it, but then again I can't think of another documentary that's won this particular category, so who knows.

The only thing I can think of with the original score category is that James Newton Howard is getting awarded in a lifetime achievement kinda way. He's been nominated 6 times prior without a win. He did also co-score The Dark Knight (which won the Grammy in a similar category), which can't hurt him too badly. Still, I can't help thinking that Milk is where this category is going.

Friday.

Scratch that, got it working, issue was totally unrelated to iTunes.

Upon installing iTunes 8, I got greeted by an error message and now it won't open up at all. Sorry for the self promotion, but I posted a screen cap on my blog: http://www.eurotransient.com

Anyone else have this issue or am I alone here?

Guys! If you give away all your games, what will YOU play!?

Ooo gimme! I'm tired of playing three innings of the Red Sox v. Rockies!

Does that make you the meat in a "P" sandwich, then?

It would have been ideal to just get the points, but I'll at least give them credit for not making it Frogger or something ancient. And as a bonus, at least you know there'll be more people to play with online!
