This is a building that symbolises knowledge. Specifically, according to the official website www.academyofathens.gr the main purpose of the Academy of Athens is the cultivation and advancement of the Sciences, Humanities and Fine Arts, the conduct of scientific research and study, and the offer of learned advices to the state in these areas. I took this photo when I was on my last Street Hunt in Athens. I admire the structure and I think it makes a very imposing image. The human element helps understand the building's size / proportions.
If you want to see how I took the photo, you can view the relevant clip on the official Street Hunters YouTube Channel at youtu.be/rJzN1kzyEjM?t=7m40s. Also, if you haven’t seen my previous Street Hunts, please visit the relevant Playlist at www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed28QCd4QRw&list=PLKhqhm3_KUy.... Thank you.
With the Oscars happening this weekend. I thought I would share my guesses... now, I will say. With the exclusion of Christopher Nolan(Director) and "The Dark Knight" from the top two slots. The Academy has once again shown how irrelevant it can be. When future generations look back at the 5 "Best Picture" choices. I do believe the term W.T.F. will come to mind... not that these are bad films. They are quite good. But still... you shouldn't snub the film that's been feeding you all year long.
Enough with that though... here goes...
BEST PICTURE... "Slumdog Millionaire"... Not even close. It seems to be this years darling. I forced myself to see it because non of the previews looked good to me. However, it was great.
...................................................... Winner: "Slumdog Millionaire"
BEST DIRECTOR... Danny Boyle(Slumdog)... I really don't think the others have a chance. Gus Van Sant will have to wait again.
...................................................... Winner: "Danny Boyle"
BEST ACTOR... Richard Jenkins(The Visitor)... I'm going out on a limb with this one. One of the toughest categories. I'm not so sure "Milk" has the momentum. Plus Sean Penn has won before. Which would give Mickey Rourke the edge... and although Hollywood loves a comeback story. Rourke's history with the studios might mean he'll need to earn his statue with another great performance.
....................................................... Winner: "Sean Penn"
BEST ACTRESS... Kate Winslet(The Reader)... for losing so many times in the past. Oh, come on... it's not the first time this has happened. Many times for a lesser deserved performance. Which is not the case here.
....................................................... Winner: "Kate Winslet"
BEST S. ACTOR... Heath Ledger(TDK)... if not. Then may hell engulf all of Hollywood.
....................................................... Winner: "Heath Ledger"
BEST S. ACTRESS... Viola Davis(Doubt)... I hope so. This truly is a supporting role. Only one "extended" scene. But wow... so memorable. That said... putting your money on Penelope Cruz is not a bad idea.
....................................................... Winner: "Penelope Cruz"
ANIMATED FEATURE FILM... "Wall-E"... DUH... a no-brainer. I personally hated the movie. I could not get out of the theatre quick enough... if I had to hear "WwaaAHEEE" or "EEEVAHH" one more time. I was gonna scream. I did like the opening sequences and the Wall-E character was very cute. So I am willing to see his next adventure.
....................................................... Winner: "Wall-E"
BEST ART DIRECTION... "Curious Case of Benjamin Button"... of all it's 13 nominations. I think this is one of it's best chances for a win.
....................................................... Winner: "Curious Case of Benjamin Button"
BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY... "The Dark Knight"... a tough call. I could see "Benjamin Button" getting this one. However, I think the Academy will want to acknowledge Wally Pfister's work on "TDK". After all, it was shot using IMAX... not an easy thing to do.
......................................................... Winner: "Slumdog Millionaire"
BEST COSTUME DESIGN... "The Dutchess"... only because the Academy likes to dress queens... I mean royalty.
........................................................ Winner: "The Dutchess"
BEST FILM EDITING... "Slumdog Millionaire"
........................................................ Winner: "Slumdog Millionaire"
BEST MAKE-UP... "Curious Case of Benjamin Button"... this would seem obvious. Unless that qualifies as visual effects. Either way, quite amazing work.
....................................................... Winner: "Curious Case of Benjamin Button"
BEST SOUND EDITING... "The Dark Knight"... both "Iron Man" and "Wall-E" have sound people who have a long history with the voters. So this one is up for grabs.
....................................................... Winner: "The Dark Knight"
BEST SOUND MIXING... "Slumdog Millionaire"... but they do love "Wall-E". So he could run away with both sound awards... yet I think all the switching of scenes(and game show craziness) in "Slumdog" has the advantage.
..................................................... Winner: "Slumdog Millionaire"
BEST VISUAL EFFECT... "Iron Man"... this is the strongest category for "Iron Man". I do not think it deserves it. The effects in TDK were much more memorable and breath taking. Even it they were mostly "old school"... and the CGI on "Two-Face" was so damn good. But I think people tend to over look it... lets face it. Pretty much everything. No matter how top notch it was. Took a back seat to The Joker.
..................................................... Winner: "Curious Case of Benjamin Button"
BEST WRITING(ADAPTED)... "Frost/Nixon" or "Doubt"... the only realistic shot for "Frost/Nixon". But I think "Doubt" wins.
.................................................... Winner: "Slumdog Millionaire"
BEST WRITING(ORIGINAL)... "Milk"... although I have not seen "Frozen River", "Happy-Go-Lucky", or "In Bruges" yet... I'm hearing good stuff about "Frozen" though.
.................................................... Winner: "Milk"
In closing(my god, he's gonna shut up)... I can only see "Slumdog" running away with the evening. Otherwise, the accolades will pretty much be thrown all over the place.

The Philippine Military Academy (PMA; Filipino: Akademiyang Militar ng Pilipinas; Spanish: Academia Militar de Filipinas) is the Philippine military school of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. It was established on December 21, 1936 by the virtue of Commonwealth Act № 1 or the National Defense Act. The Academy is located in the city of Baguio. It is the training school for future officers of the AFP.

Baguio, officially the City of Baguio (Ibaloi: Ciudad ne Bag-iw; Ilokano: Siudad ti Baguio; Tagalog: Lungsod ng Baguio) and popularly referred to as Baguio City, is a mountain resort city located in Northern Luzon, Philippines. It is known as the Summer Capital of the Philippines, owing to its cool climate since the city is located approximately 4,810 feet (1,470 meters) above mean sea level, often cited as 1,540 meters (5,050 feet) in the Luzon tropical pine forests ecoregion, which also makes it conducive for the growth of mossy plants and orchids.
Baguio is classified as a Highly Urbanized City (HUC). It is geographically located within Benguet, serving as the provincial capital from 1901 to 1916, but has since been administered independently from the province following its conversion into a chartered city. The city is a highly urbanized area, a major center of business, commerce, and education in northern Luzon, as well as the location of the Cordillera Administrative Region. According to the 2015 census, Baguio has a population of 345,366.
Baguio was established as a hill station by the United States in 1900 at the site of an Ibaloi village known as Kafagway. It was the United States' only hill station in Asia. The name of the city is derived from bag-iw, the Ibaloi word for "moss".
Another one of the great theatre's designed by S. Charles Lee is the Art Moderne Academy Theatre in Inglewood CA. opening in 1939 it was designed to host the Academy Awards......... It never did but the theatre was host to numerous movie premiers, running films till 1976 then the theatre became a church and that is how it remains today
