Oscar Night.
Here's my picks for the important categories.
Best Picture:
The 6-2 beatdown of the Sharks on Feb 11.
Best Actor in a leading role:
Jack Johnson his tour de force performances have been awe inspiring. 3 nights of 30+ minutes on the ice.
Best actor in a supporting role:
Mark Letestu. The bottom 6 utility man has been a jack of all trades and contributing in a big way in his limited role.
Best actress in a leading
and supporting role:
Natalie Taylor. Mostly because this organization is a sausage fest.
Best Cinematography:
Time Warner Cable for bringing us every game in HD. It was only 2 years ago that every game being available in HD was not a reality.
Best Director:
John Davidson. His feature "Going North" has been a critical success amongst fans and critics.
Best Editing:
Dan Singleton. Mainstay of the CBJ film room. Has been a part of the organization since 2000.
Best Foreign Language Film:
Artem Anisimov. The best foreign import to Columbus from Russia since....well, ever.
Best Make Up and Hairstyling:
Natalie Taylor. Her hair styles are the main attraction of the pre and post game shows.
Best Music:
Leo Welsh. The Daniel Day-Lewis of this category for the CBJ Oscars. New DJs and organists have made this category more competitive, but few have captured the imaginations of the CBJ crowds in a non-player role like Mr. Welsh.
Best original and adapted Screenplay:
Mattlund. His work at
Blograkers is unmatched. The most trusted voice in the #CBJ blogging community isn't just a tagline. It's the truth.
