11 Out of 24

-
The 79th Annual Academy Awards are behind us now. Of my 24 Oscar predictions, 11 of them turned out to be true.

I was thrilled that An Inconvenient Truth won for Best Documentary (Feature). I was slightly suprised that it also for Best Original Song.

I was also thrilled that the Oscars went green this year, with so many of the nominees arriving in a zero emission car. I hope that next year the Academy takes it a step further and convinces the Kodak Theatre to use solar power (or some other source of renewable energy).

However, I was complete shocked that Pan's Labyrith didn't win for Best Foreign Language Film. I was convinced before the show that they were unstopable in that category.

All in all - it was a great show and everyone involved with it deserves to be proud.

Hayley Williams Flashes Twitter

I have to confess, I had no idea who Hayley Williams  was prior to this morning nor did I have any idea who the band Paramore was. In fact, now that I do know, I'm not all that certain that I really care about Paramore. But I digress. The thing is, sometime last night, Hayley Williams' Twitter account was reportedly hacked. This resulted in a photo of Hayless Williams topless making its way onto the internet. Hayley Williams insists that it was a simple security breach. Personally, I can't help but feel that this smells too much like a publicity stunt. Either way, the photo is out there and a lot more people suddenly know who Hayley Williams is - coincidence or not. Oh, and yes - it has taken an enormous amount of restraint for me to not show the uncensored version of that photo.

This photo was in an email solicitation that I received this afternoon. I don't normally read such things. This time, I did. I have absolutely no idea what the company was trying to sell me. But still - the photo .

I was surfing the web last night, looking for more news on Kristen Bell . I came across this post on TMZ.com about Kristen at the beach . They were critical of the photo of her to the left, but admired her in the one to the right. I don't care what the folks at TMZ say. Granny shades or not. Hair up or down. Kristen Bell looks darn hot.
