C-C-D Jacks The Oscars... The Academy Don't Have Nothing On Us!!!!

Tonight, for the 82nd time the Academy of the Arts and Sciences will hold the Academy Awards at The Kodak Theater in Los Angeles. For the last 2 months, everyone who is anyone has weighed in on the Oscar race. They all have their opinions, and usually they are always wrong. The Academy are a wierd bunch of individuals, and their decisions are often a bit off the reservation. However, there is no greater honor in all of media that can be bestowed on a artist. The Oscars are the original awards show, being around the longest out of the seemingly 100's of other award shows that come and go. I'm sure all of the other awards are meaningful to the recipients, but nothing compares to even being NOMINATED for an Academy Award. Did you ever notice that after someone is nominated or wins a Oscar, they are forever known as "Academy Award Nominee or Academy Award Winner" such and such. Its a title that you have forever. These little gold statues really are a game changer... like Ron Burgundy, they are sort of a big deal.

With that being said, some of my fellow collaborators at C-C-D have decided to jack the Academy Awards and give out our own versions of the awards... we will call them MikeyJacks in honor of the two little guys in my life, my son Mikey and Tara's godson Jack. We will weigh in on all the major categories, and then we will say who we think will win, and then who we think the Academy will pick. Tommorow we will recap the results and see who has the best predictions. It really isn't about being wrong or right, it's about presenting the people you think deserve the honor with the award they might get snubbed for tonight. I can't wait to see Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin hosting the awards tonight. But enough of the highbrow nonsense associated with the Academy Awards... let the jack move begin!!! With no further avail, lets get into the 1st annual MikeyJack Awards at C-C-D.com. Lets get it popping people!!!!

Up first, my sister from another mother, Reality Check writer Kate Jones.
