Sock Is Crap (aka Oscar Picks), by Hannibal Lecter




Your anagrams are showing, Doctor.

Rather than do another dreary Oscar prediction post exactly the same as everyone else’s, I decided to do it a little differently. I’ve turned all my choices into anagrams, i.e. rearranging the letters to make new words. That way it takes a little bit of de-coding effort on your part, and it can help evaporate your day while you pretend to be busy at the office.

They are grouped in fives. Each category has two groups of five. Each group of five is labeled either “Me” or “Them.” See the code below for the difference. I’ve mixed the categories up and stripped them of their labels. Don’t worry. I’m sure the two Best Picture groups should be obvious, and you can take it from there.

Semicolons separate the person and the movie title. I added some commas here and there to make it sound halfway readable. My advice …. Start with the easy ones and work from there. Like you were planning another course.


Disclaimer: No word or phrase is intended to describe the person or film. They are jumbles that are meant to be amusing, not insulting.

Me= What I would choose based on what I have seen so far.
Them= My guess at what the nominations will be in the end, based on what I’ve seen and projections based on “buzz,” whatever that is.

I guess I'd like to see your Namesake review now.

I've never actually written a full review of The Namesake. Not at the site, not at my old paper. I did write a brief. I think it does an excellent job at capturing the contradictory impulses of the country.
