Last night my friend Kathleen and I went to a panel discussion on the upcoming Academy Awards. Here are the predictions by Tribune columnist Michael Phillips:
Best Picture -- The Social Network or The King's Speech
Best Actor -- Colin Firth, The King's Speech (sure thing)
Best Actress -- Natalie Portman, The Black Swan or Annette Bening, The Kids Are Alright
Best Supporting Actor -- Christian Bale, The Fighter or Geoffrey Rush, The King's Speech
Best Supporting Actress -- Hailie Steinfield, True Grit or Melissa Leo, The Fighter
Keep in mind these are his "will win" predictions, not his "should win" responses.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
Thank you for telling us about this--a panel discussion of this caliber would never take place here. Can't wait to see how accurate they are.
