So … a mysterious email made its way to my inbox from an anonymous sender that came with an interesting document attached to it — a supposed scan of the winners list of this year’s Academy Awards. Now, I don’t buy that this list is actually genuine … but, in this day and age of leaks and spoilers, I guess you can never be too sure of anything:
Just in case this list turns out to be the real thing, I’ll keep the spoilery info behind the cut. After the jump, check out this supposed leaked document that lists the winners of the 81st annual Academy Awards …
LOL! You gotta love the language and the letterhead … it does give this document at least some semblance of officialness. Altho I still do not believe this is an genuine list of Oscar winners, there are some listed winners that will most likely turn out to be true come Sunday night. And look, according to this document The Curious Case of Benjamin Button actually wins something!! If anything, you can print this out and use it as your cheat sheet should you be attending any Oscar parties this weekend. Who knows, you may be the only person at the party to get every single winner right!
While I doubt this is true, I don’t see how they wouldn’t be able to have the ballots counted. We know who wins for president the day of and that’s MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of votes, I’m sure they could manage 5,000 in 48 hours.
boo, I feel like the odd one out. When I read the title I was like who cares? and then I read the comments and I went…oh, some people care. lol….I don’t think I’m making any sense.
Kate will definitely win..now as for Mickey, that remains to be seen. Has Hollywood forgiven him? I wonder. But, Hwood loves comeback stories..and though Sean P played Harvey Milk, it took him long enough to get the Best Acting win for Mystic River. With all of the Prop 8 mess going on, I can’t imagine Milk not going home with something. However, it should be Slumdog or BB that wins. I loved Slumdog, but BB was the most beautiful movie of the year, hands down. It was very long, but still, really made you think. Slumdog was the most CREATIVE of the year and my favorite. Not sure about Amy Adams. She was great, but I can’t see her winning yet, maybe?? Melissa Leo, now that was a great performance in Frozen River. Real tough woman making ends meet…
As long as Heath Ledger wins, I’m ok.
even if this was the real list, WHY would you post it?? i dont’ understand people like you, why do you feel the need to be like the annoying kid that shouts out the answers when its not your turn….
@patches — hahaha, are you serious? i posted the doc for those who want to see it. if you don’t want to see it, don’t see it. plain and simple.
The national elections have been tampered with; the last two elections were stolen; many people believe that, and reliable sources have written articles or books about it.
The oscars have been tampered with. There are books with solid sources that claim it happened. And historians tell us that it has been tampered with from the beginning.
We live in an age when this could very well happen again. And much soonere.
HOWEVER, this may also happen: i.e. changing the results, so as to restore the public’s belief in its vaunted security measures.
LMAO @ Trent and what you said to Patches………so true hon, he posted it AFTER the jump so you had to click on it Patches…….good grief, do you also stare at the tv and complain when you see something you don’t like but you don’t change the channel? ugh…..some people’s children…..
Kate Winslet totally deserves the win…she is amazing!! Heath Ledger is a given… but I really hope that the supporting actress is wrong… Penelope Cruz was fantastic in Vicky Christina Barcelona and deserves a win for that… I think that sean penn should get the best actor… but it wouldn’t surprise me if Mickey Rourke wins… gotta love a comeback
I’m ok, as long as Heath, Wall*E, and Presto! win.
I have a seriously hard time believing this list of winners would end up being the winners. Let’s take for example Adapted Screenplay, Slumdog Millionaire has won it in every single awards show and now it supposedly loses it. I don’t think so. The same goes to best soundtrack.
I think it’s fake. If you look at the actual picture of the Oscar statue on the letter it’s elbows are sticking out more than on the actual scar statue itself. Plus Mickey can’t win- overrated.
It’s fake. The way the ballots are counted and the results tallied, the only people who know are the guys from the accounting firm of Whomever and Whatever. Good guesses, though…
Well here’s the thing:
Whether this is fake or not, the Academy has been ominously silent about it.
I think this is the kind of thing they would try to head off either way.
If they’re trying NOT to draw attention to it, makes you wonder why…?
If it was fake they would have said something about it.
If it’s real, then they can’t very well say its not, and then have all the winners come out EXACTLY as posted here.
Clearly the Academy is in a sticky spot.
There are no listings for the Live Action and Animated Short Subjects.
Somehow, I doubt the “official” list of winners (if such a thing existed) would leave out two categories completely.
Oops, I take it back. Still, I don’t think this is real.
True or Not…I know Kate Winslet will win. She is the best actress working today. Meryl is so far from her.
now we all know its fake!
Well–this list is clearly a fraud–Penelope Cruz just won for Best Supporting Actress, so no need to even worry about it.
It’s do wrong awards have Bern handed out and did not go to the sheet said
So not real, since Amy didn’t win.
I’m still having a fun time watching though!!
