Once again, it’s time for my cats to decide the winners of this year’s Academy Awards. Please note that these decisions are final, accurate and absolutely the way things should be in a just universe, despite the actual results of tonight’s little festivity in Hollywood.

Best Actor: Mickey Rourke
Best Lady Actor: Kate Winslet
Best Supporting Actor: Heath Ledger will win with all the hullaballoo, even though Phillip Seymour Hoffman was probably better as the fiddly priest.
Best Supporting Lady Actor: Penelope Cruz
Animated Feature: WALL-e
Art Direction: Hank says DARK KNIGHT, Babs says the Dutchess.
Best Cinematography: Slumdog Millionaire has panache to spare.
Editing: Hank says Frost/Nixon should get it, but it’ll probably go to the Dark knight, since it’ll win nothing else.

Makeup: Benjamin Button
Visual FX: Benny Button again should take this, but we have a sneaky suspicion about Iron Man.
Sound: Wanted
Score: Milk
Song: Nothing gets Babs shakin’ like "Jai Ho" from Slumdog.

Screenplay, adapted: Slumdog Millionaire
Screenplay, original: Despite "In Bruges" being the clear winner here, it will get snubbed. Frozen River- nobody saw this; Happy-go-lucky; ditto; WALL-E- too environmental, so that leaves MILK, the winner.
DIRECTOR: we’re going with Danny Boyle for S.M.
BEST PICTURE: Slumdog Millionaire sweeps it.

Pretty close, Hank and Babs. Nicely done.

Even the gentle cradle of Steve's thighs couldn't coax the dulcet voice from the Violinophone, that most reviled calamity of all instruments.	We recorded the Baldwin in the Badvision kitchen, with a Neumann to catch the room & an AKG up close. Supersound sounds super.	Supersound. Look at that AWESOME selector switch! Pretty enough to French-kiss (and don't think I haven't tried). All I can say is they named it right. I love it.
John was VERY excited to be back tracking drums after a few weeks off. Here, he is approaching Mach-1.	Steve limbers up for the start of his vocal takes, up in the Badvision Vocal Corridor.	Celebrating theBadvision Bass FX Stack-o-Death. So scary-sounding, Ed's face stayed frozen like that for three days.
