Oscar Buzzzz

The January 20th 2006 of Entertainment Weekly touts that The Oscar Race has begun (that's not entirely true, in my opinion, it really started just seconds after the Golden Globe nominations were announced last month).

EW's Dave Karger interviews George Clooney, whom the magazine calls "Oscar's Triple Threat" for his work directing/co-writing Good Night, And Good Luck, and acting in Syriana. I'm not a fan of Clooney, by any means, but I would be foolish not to recognize that his chances at being a "golden boy" are pretty good. I just hope all of this buzz doesn't go to his head.

The Oscar coverage also includes "25 movies to see before Oscar night" and predictions of the nominees (which will be announced soon) The predicting of the nominees in the major categories seems pretty easy this year if you ask me. Predicting the Winners before the March 5th telecast will be a bit tougher.

Meanwhile, The Golden Globes will be awarded live Monday January 16th 2006 on NBC at 8:00 P.M.
