Archive for The DaColbert Code

Despite the lack of a DaColbert Code to tell me which movies I was supposed to root for this year, I found myself watching the Oscars last night. First things first: congratulations to Kathryn Bigelow on her fantastic wins last night! I know the movie has its critics, but I was really impressed by The Hurt Locker; I thought it worked as a story, an entertainment, and a virtual handbook for acting and directing, and I was ecstatic over its win last night.

Since it’s been a quiet news day out there in the Colbert universe, I thought I’d post this little round up of Stephen’s interviews with people nominated for Academy Awards this year. Starting with our big winner, here’s The Colbert Report’s visit from Academy Award-winning director and producer Kathryn Bigelow:

The DaColbert Code

For the second time, Stephen Colbert had called a 5 for 5 of the top Oscar winners with his very special system, The DaColbert Code. He called the Oscar winners last Thursday (2/12) by looking for the patterns, and called it thusly:

  • Penelope Cruz – Best Supporting Actress
  • Kate Winslet – Best Actress
  • Heath Ledger – Best Supporting Actor
  • Sean Penn – Best Actor [although he said he "wouldn't have it", and ended up calling it for Micky Rourke by writing Rourke's name on a piece of paper]
  • Slumdog Millionaire – Best Movie
