1. Ishtar: I seriously don't get why critics dislike this film so much. I think it's perfectly charming.

2. Barbra Streisand Movies '68 - '79: Funny Girl, The Way We Were, What's Up Doc, The Main Event... what can I say. I adore them.

3. Breakfast At Tiffany's: I bawl like a baby ever time I hear Moon River. It's disgusting.

4. Andrew McCarthy: Mannequin... 'nuff said.

5. ThisTV Channel: Featuring the worst of the worst in B movies. It's like watching a train wreck. I'm totally hooked.

6. Doris Day Movies: Without a shred of irony. America's original sweetheart.... love her.

7. Keanu Reeves in Bram Stoker's Dracula: Coppola, you magnificent bastard.

8. Gettysburg and Gods and Generals: My ex-girlfriend never forgave me for dragging her to see them.

9. Paint Your Wagon: You're not a true Eastwood fan unless you seen this film at least a half-dozen times and loved it every time.

10. Quackser Fortune Has a Cousin in the Bronx: Because my Gene Wilder crush knows no bounds.

11. Jerry Lewis Movies: I think my brother and I are the only ones who saw Hardly Working and thought it one of the funniest films he's ever done. And yes, I'm still dying to see The Day the Clown Cried.

12. Lindsay Lohan in Georgia Rule: Yeah, her life is a mess and the cast & crew hated her....whatever. I still think the girl has potential and keep hoping she'll finally manage to turn her life around.

13. The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love: I loathe lesbian cinema and find it to be incredibly cliche and boring... with the exception of Bound, High Art, Tipping the Velvet and this very entertaining little film.

14. Janeane Garofalo Movies '94 - '98: Come back to us, Janeane.

15. Merchant Ivory films: The more sexually repressed the characters, the better.

16. Elvis Presley Musicals: Yeah, everyone thinks they're cool NOW but back in the day, only us true Elvis nerds could withstand being branded with the ultimate scarlet letter of uncool.

17. Bad Burt Reynolds Movies: In all his redneck glory. You know the ones I'm talking about.

18. Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence: The script is a mess but Bowie and Sakamoto are absolutely spellbinding. My favorite part is when Bowie sings Christmas carols off-key. Not any easy feat for him.

19. Diane Keaton: 38 years later and I'm still obsessed with her. Oh well, La-Di-Da.

20. Beach Party Films: Guilty as charged. The sillier, the better.

Best Picture:

Who I want to win: The Hurt Locker
Who will win: Dances with Smurfs

Best Director:

Who I want to win: Kathryn Bigelow
Who will win: Her ex-husband (because women should stick to writing, editing and cinematography)

Performance By An Actor In a Lead Role:

Who I want to win: Jeff Bridges (long overdue Oscar)
Who might win: George Clooney (who the press will inevitably compare to Cary Grant ad nauseam)

Performance By An Actor In a Supporting Role:

Who I want to win: Christoph Waltz (because there has to be at least one award that somehow relates to the Holocaust)
Who might win: Matt Damon (because there has to be at least one award for going full-retard)

Performance By An Actress In a Lead Role:

Who I want to win: Sandra Bullock (because she's the real deal)
Who might win: Gabourey Sidibe (because there's nothing so "precious" as Academy members patting themselves on the back)

Performance By An Actress In a Supporting Role:

Who will win: Mo’Nique (because she's Mo'Nique dammit)
Who might win: Vera Farmiga (because she starred with that guy who looks like Cary Grant)

Magnum PI....the first television series that treated war Vets with dignity and respect rather than crazed psychotics.

Cheers to you Tom.

What Lopez needs is a little attitude adjustment from Monsignor Martinez.
