Now that the nominees are out for the 81st annual Acadamy Awards, lets take a look at some of the awards...hockey style. Here are the First Annual Hockey Oscars!
Best Costume Design
And the winner is...the Chicago Blackhawks
The Blackhawks jerseys from this year's Winter Classic were awesome. The uniforms were mainly black with red piping and an off-white midsection stripe, and the circled logo looked great. If only the 'Hawks would wear these sweaters more often.
Best Visual Effects
And the winner is...Mike Ribeiro
The Stars forward unleashed a sweet deke in the shootout to help Dallas knock off the Los Angeles Kings on November 18.
Best Director
And the Winner is...Claude Julien
Julien has the Bruins where nobody expected them to be: at the top of the Eastern Conference standings. The B's have a 15-point lead on the second place Capitals in the East, and a 20-point lead over Montreal in the Northeast Division.
Actor in a Supporting Role
And the Winner is...Antti Miettenen
For his killer deke and tremendous pass to Miko Koivu for the first goal of a game against the Edmonton Oilers earlier this season. The inside outside through the legs move created space and the tape-to-tape pass hit Koivu right on stride.
Actor in a Leading Role
And the Winner is...Alexander Ovechkin
Ovechkin, who just the other day recorded his 200th career goal, is the main reason the Washington Capitals are such a threat in the Eastern Conference this season. His 37 goals lead the NHL and his 68 total points trail only Malkin and Crosby. Of course, those two apparantly haven't done enough as the Pens are (currently) on the outside looking in. Ovechkin's on the better team, so he wins the golden statuette.
Best Picture
And the Winner is...Bobby Ryan
Ryan's spin-o-rama goal has to be the play of the year so far. Ryan made an outstanding spin move to get by the defender and then beat Los Angeles goalie Jonathan Quick for his third goal of the game. While the Kings won the game, Ryan wins the first ever Hockey Oscar for Best Picture.
