Nothing Being Done?

By Pinky Kravitz

A

LMOST EVERY DAY I RECEIVE CALLS ABOUT nothing being done by any of Mayor Lorenzo Langford’s committees relative to improving Atlantic City. I keep saying they’re busy at work and people keep saying, “We don’t hear anything about what they’re doing.”

I cannot be specific, but I can tell you they are diligently going over ideas and concepts that can and should be done. They are also working to identify funding for the projects.

The committee on cleaning and safety has identified the Boardwalk as their No. 1 project. There will be a new lighting system for the Boardwalk with new poles and lights.

Once announced, it will take about six months to complete. A landscaping program will also be put in place to enliven the Boardwalk’s appearance. Concerns about restroom facilities on the Boardwalk are also being addressed.

It is my understanding they will be open with an attendant year-round in each facility 16 hours a day during the busy season and 12 hours a day during the winter months. The current restroom interiors will also be upgraded.

The events committee has concert-booking agents around the nation checking in with their proposed tours for a stop in Atlantic City. Outside of those that have already been announced — including a concert, a boxing event and the Caesars Tennis Classic — no others have yet to sign on the dotted line. However, it is my pleasure to let you know that Andrea Bocelli, one of the world’s outstanding classic singers, has his pen ready to sign for an appearance at Boardwalk Hall in December.

Additional performers will soon be announced to appear here. Likewise, more information on the recommendations of these committees will be forthcoming soon.

Sands Selling Bethlehem Casino?

The Bethlehem Area News had a story last week that said, “The Las Vegas Sands Corp. is looking to sell its Pennsylvania casino less than a year after opening it on the former Bethlehem Steel land.” Disappointment with the Bethlehem casino’s early financial return has Sands’ officials turning their attention to Asia, where Sands is developing Macau and Singapore casinos.

(Sands denies reports that it plans to sell its casino.)

A spokesperson for the Sands said the company’s focus right now is to get their Bethlehem property to perform better. They are in the process of initiating some new marketing programs and looking forward to getting ready for table games. They are working overall to improve the performance of the property. The casino reported a $2.1 million operating loss in the fourth quarter of 2009. The Bethlehem Express Times newspaper ran a story headlined: “Bethlehem officials want explanation from Sands’ plan to sell south side casino.” The story said, “The casino operators plan to sell Sands Casino Resort in Bethlehem just nine months after its opening is disappointing and perplexing news.” A city councilman stated: “It’s cause for concern. They certainly should answer some questions and come back before council at some point to talk about their intentions.” Many visitors to the Web site Join us on Facebook:

facebook.com/ACWeekly

lehighvalleylive.com were also looking for answers. One visitor wrote, “This project was a ‘pig in a poke’ to begin with. Just look at it! It looks like a dump and is located in a dump.” Councilman Gordon Mowrer said, “In some ways I think we kidded ourselves from the beginning.” An editorial writer in the paper stated, “Any successor to the Sands in Bethlehem must follow through on the casino’s resort plans.” They also stated, “If this Sands does move on, it will be a bottom-line decision that isn’t all that rare in the gaming industry. Two of Pennsylvania’s slot parlors already have transferred ownership. Any report of the Sands’ departure is premature, of course. Although it’s suffered losses at its Bethlehem casino, it is yet to realize its potential, even in the troubled economy. Within a few months Pennsylvania casinos will be able to have more bettors with poker, blackjack, craps, roulette and other table games, as part of an expansion approved in December by the state legislature.”

I thought you might be interested in what’s happening in our neighboring state, where we’ve been led to believe everything is rosy with peaches and cream.

ACY Really Taking Off!

Last week, New Jersey Senate President Stephen Sweeney said that we needed to increase the use of the Atlantic City International Airport (ACY). On Monday, James Simpson, Gov. Chris Chrisite’s nominee for NJ Transportation Commissioner, told the Senate committee that he would push for greater use of the airport by passenger carriers and air-freight companies. This type of support for the airport from these two gentlemen is good news for its future.

Meanwhile, Spirit Airlines has announced that they will institute a daily flight to Detroit from ACY beginning May 20. Detroit is a Spirit hub and connects to several destinations. On May 1 Spirit will go from one to two daily flights to and from Atlantic City and Boston.

By the way, the present daily flight to Boston has a load factor of over 90 percent. WestJet Airlines, which offers flights to and from Atlantic City and Toronto four days a week, will begin flying daily on May 2. AirTran Airlines will continue to have two daily flights to and from Atlantic City and Atlanta and a morning flight to Orlando. There is a possibility they may increase their Orlando schedule. Sharon Gordon, South Jersey Transportation Authority’s effervescent executive director of marketing, has them working diligently to get a Chicago-Atlantic City flight scheduled. Several airlines have expressed interest in this route. It is anticipated that will happen in the near future. n

It reads a little like a whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s who of football as award recipients of the Maxwell Awards are expected to turnout Friday (March 5) at Harrahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Atlantic City for the annual Maxwell Football Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awards banquet. The club promotes youth football, community involvement and has famously been labeled as presenting â&#x20AC;&#x153;that other awardâ&#x20AC;? for college football. Actually, the club presents awards for both college and pro football. Award winners this year are University of Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, for collegiate player of the year; Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh as the recipient of the 15th Chuck Bednarik Award (Collegiate Defensive Player of the Year) and Gary Patterson Head Football Coach at the Texas Christian University, winner of the 21st George Munger Award as college coach of the year. On the pro side, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is the 2009 Bert Bell Professional Player of the Year and Sean Payton, the head coach of the Saints, has been selected as the 2009 Greasy Neale Professional Coach of the Year. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even counting local award recipients such as Villanova wide receiver Matthew Szczur and Temple football coach Al Golden. The banquet has been a staple in Atlantic City for about seven years after club president and former Philadelphia Eagle great Ron Jaworski moved the event, which was struggling to sell tickets in Philadelphia. For information on the event and tickets go to maxwellfootballclub.org. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mike Pritchard

Jimi Hendrix â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Valleys of Neptuneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; A new and approved (by the late Hendrixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family that is) Jimi Hendrix album is out March 9 featuring never-before released recordings by the guitar wizard, most of which were cut with Billy Cox on bass. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard an advanced copy and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full of blazing guitar, sloweddown versions, cool covers and trippy experimentation.

Any Hendrix fan will be a happy camper.

Music fans can hear some great jazz and learn about various musiciansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; creative philosophies every Tuesday from 7-10pm at Sandi Pointe Coastal Bistro, 908 Shore Rd. in Somers Point. Bassist Tom Lekan of Ocean City and drummer Bob Shomo of Linwood are the event organizers, and the two will serve as the rhythm section to different feature performers each week while helping to promote artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; songs, musical concepts and ideology. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In all my playing experience over the years Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve developed a lot of relationships with an incredible amount of great musicians,â&#x20AC;? says Lekan, a member of the Antfarm Quartet that will perform in the series on April 27. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much great local talent in this area, and this was an effort to give them a place to play, talk about their music, and answer questions from the audience. I do a lot of writing, and I encourage musicians to bring their own music and maybe talk things over and tweak a few things. So far itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been very well received.â&#x20AC;? For a mere $5 cover charge, the Tuesday Night Jazz Series is an inexpensive and stimulating way to break up the week with some fun and relaxing entertainment. Feature performers for the rest of March include Ken Fowser and Behn Gillece (March 9), Jim Ridl (March 16), Gina Roche and Barry Sames (March 23) and Michael Pedicin (March 30). For a complete list or more information, call 457-7892 or e-mail tlekan@comcast.net. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kelley Anne Essinger

ITH MUCH OF TODAY’S contemporary music lacking a lot of personalized panache, it’s refreshing when young musicians band together to not only produce sounds with style and staying power, but original compositions with classic flair. That description would be well suited to a sixman ensemble called Kickin’ Bear, which will perform live at Hibiscus in Somers Point this Saturday night, March 6.

Kickin’ Bear consists of a group of friends from Ocean City High School who have been making music together in various incarnations since childhood. They include guitarists Rob Swift and Tom Williamson, drummer Chris Ingram, pianist/lead vocalist Wayne Gallagher, bassist Dan Boardman and violinist Eamonn Connor. The band will occasionally incorporate less-common instruments like the mandolin, banjo and Indian Sitar into its sound. Having recently relocated to West Philadelphia and playing gigs in Philly (they recently played the Trocadero), the sextet makes a homecoming of sorts Saturday in tandem with their soon-to-be-released debut album called Living Roots. Three of their songs — “I Know You Read It,” “Rivers of Cypress” and “When Your Received” — can be downloaded off the band’s Web site at kickinbear.com.

“We all met in school [OCHS class of 2005] and just moved to West Philadelphia in October,” says Swift. “Wayne, Chris and I have been playing in various bands together for about 10 years, and Tom and Eamonn were part of a sort of four-piece blues band with each band sort of having their own thing going. Eventually we kind of mixed it together to form one group made up of the best of both worlds, and it ended up blending together really well.

We started playing shows, and three years later, we’re here.”

Kickin’ Bear has performed at many of the hot spots in Philly including the Trocadero, Connie’s Ric Rac, the Fire, the North Star Bar and others. Their earlier live shows were more of an equal mix of cover songs and their own material, but now, says Swift, the bulk of their lives shows consist of their own creations.

“It’s become more like 90 percent our songs, 10 percent covers,” he says. “It’s

10

facebook.com/ACWeekly

much more of an original scene up here [in Philly]. It’s cool because we’re getting to that turning point where people are getting to know the songs really well, and coming out and singing along.”

Much of the band’s influences come from bands like the Beatles, Pink Floyd and Pearl Jam, but they also draw largely from lesser-known artists.

“We’re really into the classic stuff and some underground roots music,” says Swift.

“Along with the classic rock bands everyone’s familiar with, there [are] other bands like the Strawbs, which are a British band from the ’60s that never got real huge; Derek Trucks Band, a modern roots band; My Morning Jacket — bands like that.”

Kickin’ Bear takes its name from a Paiute Indian and significant figure in American history.

“We started going through books and researching certain things, and we wanted to try to find something that was native,” says Swift. “Kicking Bear was a Native American at the turn of the [20th] century. He fought in the Battle of Wounded Knee and had a reputation for being a wild guy. We felt that name was well suited to the band’s personality.”

Swift says he is certainly looking at Saturday’s show from the perspective of a homecoming.

“Absolutely,” he says. “It’s cool because it coincides with the release of our CD, which has taken about a year to make, and it all sort of led up to a big grand finale in South Jersey. Many of the people who have been coming to our shows for 10 years ... will be coming out. Many still live in the area and have traveled to Philly to see us. Our fan base is still very loyal even though we’ve moved.” ■ see more online @

Even the local producers who work with Bazinet to present the shows at the Trop have argued with him about using live musicians. But he won’t be swayed.

“Every time I’ve [presented a show] in Atlantic City, I’ve always had live music, and I won’t stop now,” he says.

Crocodile Rock, like Viva Casino, The Piano Men and Jukebox Live before it, is a solid, 75-minute production where the spotlight falls equally on Gendron and the eight dancers and seven musicians who support the show.

Paying tribute to a variety of musical forms, including rock, pop, country, rockabilly and more, Crocodile Rock is a vehicle for Gendron’s multiple talents. In addition to being an exceptionally talented vocalist, he also plays a wicked piano.

Since getting into the production show business in 1999, Bazinet has mounted nearly a dozen shows and toured most of them through Canada. After testing the casino waters in Atlantic City, he’s been shopping his shows to other casino markets.

Twenty years ago, casinos had their choice of revues, in all sizes and budgets, from a variety of producers. Today, the number of shows — and the people who produce them — has fallen off dramatically.

But Bazinet doesn’t feel the marketing for this sort of fixed-cost casino entertainment is drying up. Nor does he feel revues have priced themselves out of business.

“There’s still a market for these shows,” he insists. “And it doesn’t have to cost millions of dollars to [build] these shows like we do. We know [the casinos] are watching their budgets, so we sit down with them and try to gives them as much show for their money as we can.”

Although the Trop is the only A.C. casino presenting revues on a regular basis, Bazinet said Las Vegas is beginning to once again take a close look at smaller production shows, including several of his. n

VER THE YEARS, PRODUCERS have employed a variety of shortcuts to keep costs under control for casinos that present production shows and revues on a regular basis.

They’ve pared down the sizes of the casts, reduced the number of support personnel working the show behind the scenes and even gone costume hunting in thrift shops.

But Mario Bazinet draws the line when it comes to doing music on the cheap. Bazinet says he’s never used prerecorded music in any of the six shows he’s imported to the Tropicana from his native Canada, and he never will.

“I would rather not work than work with [music] on tape,” he says bluntly.

So when audiences take in his newest show, Crocodile Rock at the Tropicana through March 24, every note they’ll hear will come from a live seven-piece band.

“Live music adds another dimension to the show that you can’t get from [a tape],” Bazinet explains. “The audience appreciates hearing and seeing a live band. It just makes the show so much better.”

The live music also adds a measure of spontaneity to the show that no pre-recorded track can deliver. If Christian Marc Gendron, the star of Crocodile Rock, wants to linger on the last notes of songs like Marc Cohn’s “Walking In Memphis” or Prince’s “Kiss,” he can hold the note and know that the band will ride it with him.

Try finding a tape machine that can do that.

Bazinet, who’s been producing shows in Canada for 10 years and brought his first show to the United States when Viva Casino debuted at the Trop in 2005, has no axe to grind with producers who use pre-recorded music in their shows.

That’s a business decision, he offers, and he’s not about to fault another producer for using a business model that’s different than his.

“I just feel like if people are paying $25 a ticket, then they want to see singers sing, dancers dance and they want to hear real, live music,” Bazinet says during a recent conversation from his office in Montreal. “When the curtain opens, you first have to catch [the audience’s] eyes.

Then you have to catch their ear.”

And nothing captures aural attention quite like a live band, he says.

S CAESARS BEGINS ITS WORLD Series of Poker Circuit event this week (March 3-14) theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reminding people of the Holy Grail of poker dreams â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chris Moneymakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2003 win at the WSOP, which (along with ESPNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new-fangled TV coverage that showed playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hole cards) ignited the current poker craze. Moneymaker made his way to the WSOP main event step by step, first winning a $39 Internet satellite tournament. He would eventually win it all and $2.5 million.

The Caesars event offers the same kind of chance to win your way into the WSOP main event with daily single-table satellites and 12 super satellites that are steps one and two, respectively, towards a go at the Caesars March 12 main event, a $4,900 + $250 championship. The winner of that gets a $10,000 seat at the WSOP main event held in July at The Rio in Las Vegas (not to mention sizeable cash in a tournament, which is likely to top $1 million in prize money). â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea behind the circuit events is to bring the thrill of the World Series of Poker to different areas of the country,â&#x20AC;? says Tom McDonough, poker manager for Caesars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not everyone can get out to Vegas, but this will bring the experience here to Atlantic City. You can tell from the first day that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real excitement in the room.â&#x20AC;?

The single-table satellites run from noon to midnight with a $70 + $15 buy-in. Winners get a seat at $535 + $55 mega-super satellites, held each day.

Winners of the second step satellite get a seat at the March 12 main event. The event also includes $300 + $40 super satellites and second chance cash games with a $200 + $30 buy-in.

Each day of the event also includes a main circuit tournament with varying buy-ins. There is also $200 + $30 Ladies Tour tournament on March 14. Winners of the circuit events win WSOP rings (the ladies-event winner gets a pendant).

One of 12 circuit events held around the country, Caesars brings a little WSOP action to town just in time for spring and, just possibly, might find the next Moneymaker out there.

HE DATING SCENE AROUND here is very intimidating for various reasons. For one thing, most of us are very hesitant to put ourselves out there because we are afraid of rejection.

But like I have written in the past, you can’t win if you don’t play.

My recent advice on dating — as well as the professional advice of VH1 matchmakers Steve and JoAnn Ward (Tough Love)— really resonated with a lot of you.

Readers sent me some great comments and questions and I want to share one of the questions because this seems to be a common circumstance. For anonymity purposes we’ll call the person who asked the question: Studly.

He asked, “How can I approach a friend/ acquaintance who I am interested in dating, but without it being awkward?”

This is a great question because many times people start out as friends and there is always that lingering thought telling you: “Don’t date your friends because it ruins relationships.” But I believe that if you have feelings for someone and you are romantically interested in that person, then you should say it.

In this circumstance, the woman that Studly is interested in had a boyfriend so he couldn’t ask her a few months ago.

Now she is single, however, he fears she (we’ll call her Cutie) will reject him and then it may ruin their friendship. He could say something like, “Hey Cutie, I really enjoy our friendship and as I get to know you, I think you are a great person. I am a little embarrassed and I don’t want this to be awkward, but I have been interested in taking you out on a date for awhile but I knew you had a boyfriend so I didn’t pursue it. Now that things are different, how would you like to have dinner on Saturday?”

Obviously you could word this differently, but you get the point. I gave this advice to Studly and his rebuttal was, “Yeah, but then she could say no and then our friendship will be awkward.”

My answer to him is: you will always have that feeling of uncertainty and it will eat you up because you want to take this friendship to the next level; if you never try then it actually makes things worse for both of you in the long run.

Bottom line: If you are interested in someone then go for it. Seriously, if you always hold back then you will never know and if you can’t remain friendly Join us on Facebook:

then maybe you weren’t that good of friends to begin with. Go for it! Take a risk! If anything, it will be flattering to the other person.

Tun Tavern helped to usher in ‘new’ Atlantic City

By Frank Gabriel

PHOTO BY DON KRAVITZ

R

EGARDLESS OF GEOGRAPHY, there are two Atlantic Citys.

The first, gamely represented by archetypal, timeless places like Tony’s Baltimore Grill and the White House Sub shop, serve nicely to represent pre-casino era history.

These days, we can think of nowhere in town better exemplifying the “new” Atlantic City than the Tun Tavern. Founded in 1997 by entrepreneur Monty Dahm, himself a proud Marine Corps veteran, The Tun takes its moniker from a Colonial/ Revolutionary War-era Philadelphia public house where the elite military organization traces its earliest roots.

That spirited heritage echoes within the lively facility, in both décor as well as attitude.

To understand The Tun’s relevance, one must recall the Atlantic City that existed in the late 1990s. The Convention Center and rail line, crucial elements to accommodate the critical mass of traffic flow required for us to compete in the hospitality industry’s big leagues, were just becoming a reality.

The Tun won a coveted slot as an original occupant of the new Convention Center, and was among New Jersey’s first brewpubs. Almost instantly, it became among the hottest, hippest spots to hang, dance, drink and dine.

Keep in mind, there was no Borgata at this juncture. No Quarter at the Tropicana either. Ditto for the Walk and its myriad network of retail and food emporiums. Speaking bluntly, between the Convention Center and the loom-

Owner Montgomery Dahm (L) and Antonio Esposito, executive chef are served by waiter Jeff Giannini.

ing, distant Boardwalk was nothing but a hazy, foreboding, no-man’s land of vacant, angry space.

Opening a business, especially a large food-and-drink operation here, was seriously risky, a real leap of faith. Despite this, Dahm and his organization accurately saw, believed in — and wagered on — Atlantic City’s potential, sparing no expense in crafting an original, enduring enterprise.

While not overstating the issue, sans the foresight of businesspeople like those Tun investors, Atlantic City would probably never have become the destination resort we presently enjoy today.

The mother ship of this venture has always been beer and ale fashioned on site just a few feet away from the bar where they are vended. Two-story vessels

storing them gleam, in all their polished glory, metallic and eye-catching.

The Tun currently feature eight handcrafted brews, which also find their way into the kitchen by way of marinades, ingredients and sauces.

Like the Tunion rings, beer battered and plated with an ale-honey dipping sauce. The house Bullies American brown ale is also used to slow roast the top round of beef, delivering a rich, dark jus.

(Beer geeks will adore their Web site, which provides detailed answers and information about the process, products and history of the world’s most ancient beverage.)

Feeling brave, or at least wanting to channel your latent Man vs. Food, Adam Richman persona? Try tackling The Tun Burger, one of few truly monster burgers

we know of locally. It’s a full pound of Certified Angus beef loaded with bacon and cheddar cheese.

Other specialties are the “Tun” of big, meaty wings (try the house’s BBQ version) and superb bar/tavern fare in general. But, there is also depth of menu and affordable, accessible fine dining. Most notable, steaks and other grilled items, whose smoky aromas waft enticingly from the theater style kitchen.

Some of the finest seared ahi tuna this writer has ever sampled emerged here, presented honorably rare and dignified by traditional Asian accompaniments.

The Tun’s latest upgrade is an extensive wine bar with more than 40 by the glass selections and 80 bottles. Priced extremely competitively, they offer a wide spectrum of varietals, arranged by region of growth. We’d suggest sampling the Spanish Tempranillo/Cabernet from Rivola or Chile’s Montes Limited Pinot Noir neither of which are too expensive.

Live entertainment is offered on Friday and Saturday nights starting at 9pm. The space, thanks to an elevated ceiling and unique, open design, has beautiful acoustics for performers.

Dahm’s persona, driven and dynamic, reflects throughout the building. His latest touch: erecting a 38-foot tall revolving, red, white and blue structure at the corner of Michigan and Arctic avenues.

Make no mistake about it. This is not merely another piece of signage that happens to identify the Tun Tavern.

It’s more like a bellwether welcoming all to the new Atlantic City. n

Pastor, The Asbury United Methodist Church

Pastor Terrell sincerely admits that the early part of his preaching ministry was so difficult that on many occasions he pondered giving up because his lifestyle did not coincide with his preaching style. Even today, Ralph admits that he is a work in progress. He says that God, knowing that Ralph was a work in progress, permitted him to serve as the associate pastor of Franklin-St. John’s United Methodist Church and as the pastor of the historic St. Matthew’s United Methodist Church in Newark, where he doubled its membership and began vital outreach ministry to the community. Ralph received his B.A. in philosophy and religion from Paine College in Augusta, Ga. During his matriculation at Paine he was a UNCF scholar. He continued graduate work at Drew University, graduating with a master’s of divinity degree. He is currently enrolled at the Hood Theological Seminary in the Doctor of Ministry program. He is the husband of Radeyah Abdullah Terrell and the son of Dr. Lloyd and Marguerite Terrell of Newark. They have one daughter, Kyla.

The Oscar Goes to...

Predictions for the Academy Awards this Sunday

By Lori Hoffman

W

ILL IT BE AVATAR OR THE HURT Locker? Despite this year’s major change to 10 best-picture nominations, it is a two-movie race, with a great chance that Hurt Locker director Kathryn Bigelow will be the the first woman to earn a best director Oscar. The supporting performances are a lock and most handicappers figure it is time for “The Dude,” a.k.a.

Jeff Bridges, to take home a golden boy.

Here are my predictions and preferences for the major categories, plus my quick picks for the rest of the awards.

The Academy Awards will be broadcast on Sunday, March 7, 8pm, on ABC with Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin as co-hosts.

Best Supporting Actor Matt Damon, Invictus Woody Harrelson, The Messenger Christopher Plummer, The Last Station Stanley Tucci, The Lovely Bones Christoph Waltz, Inglorious Basterds

o o o o o

Prediction: Christoph Waltz Preference: Christoph Waltz — one of two overwhelming favorites of the night.

Best Supporting Actress o Penélope Cruz, Nine o Vera Farmiga, Up in the Air o Maggie Gyllenhaal, Crazy Heart

o Anna Kendrick, Up in the Air o Mo’Nique, Precious: Based on the novel

‘Push’ by Sapphire Prediction: Mo’Nique Preference: Mo’Nique — An unforgettable, one-of-a-kind performance from an unexpected source, a comedic actress going to a very dark place.

Best Actor o Jeff Bridges, Crazy Heart o George Clooney, Up in the Air o Colin Firth, A Single Man o Morgan Freeman, Invictus o Jeremy Renner, The Hurt Locker Prediction: Jeff Bridges Preference: Jeff Bridges — Great performances by Clooney and newcomer Renner take a back seat to a career-defining turn by the well-liked Bridges.

Best Actress o Sandra Bullock, The Blind Side o Helen Mirren, The Last Station o Carey Mulligan, An Education o Gabourey Sidibe, Precious: Based on the

novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire o Meryl Streep, Julie & Julia

plus lots of voters didn’t like Julie & Julia. odd feeling that the Academy voters will Sidibe and Mulligan are first timers, and give the director’s nod to Bigelow but send Cameron home with the best picnobody saw Mirren’s movie. ture prize, as the Academy tries to have it both ways by honoring both popular Best Director movies and criticially acclaimed indepeno James Cameron, Avatar dent cinema. Just a hunch. o Kathryn Bigelow, The Hurt Locker o Quentin Tarantino, Inglourious Basterds o Lee Daniels, Precious: Based on the novel

Here are my choices for the rest of the awards: adapted screenplay, Up in the Air; original screenplay, The Hurt Locker; Prediction: Kathryn Bigelow animated feature, Up; art direction, The Preference: Kathryn Bigelow — Look Young Victoria; cinematography, The out for falling glass as the glass ceiling White Ribbon; costume design, The Young is shattered; her Directors Guild Award Victoria; documentary feature, The Cove; sealed the deal. documentary short, Music by Prudence; film editing, The Hurt Locker; foreign lanBest Motion Picture guage film, Un Prophète (France); makeup, o Avatar Star Trek; original film score, Up; origio The Blind Side nal song, “The Weary Kind” from Crazy o District 9 Heart; animated short, A Matter of Loaf and Death; live action short, Kavi; sound o An Education editing, The Hurt Locker; sound mixing, o The Hurt Locker Avatar; visual effects, Avatar. n o Inglourious Basterds o Precious: Based on the novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire o A Serious Man To read more about movies and other o Up topics covered by movie critic Lori Hoffman o Up in the Air visit the ‘Atlantic City Central’ blog at http://blog.acweekly.com/ Prediction: Avatar ‘Push’ by Sapphire
