Academy Award Nominations Haiku

I like creating patterns with my blog. Here's more haiku dealing with some of the major categories at the Oscars.


Best Supporting Actress

Five women battle
Nuns, mothers, strippers, artists
Where the hell is Kate?


Best Supporting Actor

Why even discuss?
All five: great performances
But the dead guy wins


Best Animated Film

I've only seen one
You can't compete with Pixar
Kung Fu, Bolt?? Yeah, right!


Best Original Song

Three damn nominees?!
Only going to say this once
You don't screw The Boss


Best Foreign Language Film

I feel pretty bad
Haven't seen any of these
Belcourt! Help me out!!


Best Adapted Screenplay

Writing is damn tough
Adapting might be tougher
I'm thinking Slumdog


Best Original Screenplay

Quirky screenplays all
All different in their own way
More than likely, Milk


Best Actress

Jolie made the cut
Four others have a good shot
Oh, there she is..."KATE!!!"


Best Actor

Quite competitive
Five guys, they know how to act
Gotta pull for Rourke


Best Director

I respect each guy
They practice their craft quite well
Marty trumps them all


Best Picture

Dark Knight was shut out
Oh, God, the humanity
It's okay...SLUMDOG!!!


I wish every nominee the best of luck. 2008 had some fine films!
