Will anyone get slapped? And can a wacky sci-fi featuring hot dog fingers and butt plugs really win best picture? | via philstarlife

While the answer to the first question is likely no—Academy chiefs have a"crisis team" in place after Will Smith's misadventures last year -- the overwhelming response to the latter seems to be yes., which follows a Chinese immigrant laundromat owner locked in battle with an inter-dimensional supervillain who happens to also be her own daughter, could not be further from your typical Oscar winner.

But the film has dominated nearly every awards show in Hollywood, with its charismatic, predominantly Asian stars—supported by the ever-popular Jamie Lee Curtis—becoming the feel-good story of the season. Having won top honors from Hollywood's directors, producers, actors and writers guilds, the film—a bona fide, word-of-mouth, $100 million-grossing audience hit too—is expected to dominate Oscars night.
