The Oscars are just around the corner. Don’t miss them Sunday night on ABC! Since next week’s article will spotlight the winners, this week’s piece is going to take a look at a few of the hopefuls, my hopefuls. Here are the nominees who have my vote to take Oscar home…
Actor – Leading: Tom Hanks in Cast Away
“I couldn’t even kill myself the way I wanted to. I had control over nothing.”
“Hey, you want to hear something funny? My dentist’s name is John Spaulding.”
“I would rather take my chances out there on the ocean than stay here and die.”
“One day logic was proven all wrong because the tide lifted, came in, and gave me a sail. And now, here I am. I’m back, in Memphis, talking to you. I have ice in my glass. And I’ve lost her all over again. I’m so sad that I don’t have Kelly, but I’m so grateful that she was with me on the island. And I know what I have to do now. I have to keep breathing, because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?”
Actress – Leading: Julia Roberts in Erin Brockovich
“For the first time in my life, I got people respecting me. Please don’t ask me to give that up.”
“Are you going to be something else that I have to survive, because I don’t think I can handle it.”
“These people don’t dream about being rich. They dream about being able to watch their kids swim in a pool without worrying that they’ll have to have a hysterectomy at the age of twenty…or have their spine deteriorate…So before you come back here with another lame-ass offer, I want you to think real hard about what your spine is worth…or what you might expect someone to pay you fir your uterus…Then you take out your calculator and you multiply that number by a hundred. Anything less than that is a waste of our time…By the way, we had tat water brought in especially for you folks. Came from a well in Hinckley.”
Writing (Original): Almost Famous
“I am a golden god!”
“I’m telling secrets to the one guy you don’t tell secrets to.”
“I always tell the girls never take it seriously. If you never take it seriously, then you never get hurt. If you never get hurt, then you always have fun, and if you ever get lonely you can just go to the record store and visit your friends.”
