March 3 -- First off, the good news for the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences: the television writers' strike ended just in time for them to slap together a few intros for the presenters to butcher at Sunday night's Oscars. The bad news? Apparently the television viewers are now picketing.

Overnight ratings for the Academy Awards on ABC were 14% lower than the least watched Oscars ceremony ever. At one point, they presented Hannah Montana's Miley Cyrus with a lifetime achievement award just to see if anyone was paying attention.

The PGA Tour had its own film festival last week at the Accenture Match Play Championship featuring many of the same productions that were up for awards Sunday night - with a few twists.

"Into the Wild" -- 207-year-old Hal Holbrook earns a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his portrayal of a marshal looking for Tiger Woods' first tee shot of the tournament, a mammoth mishit that goes further right than Ann Coulter. Holbrook loses the Oscar, but Woods wins the match.

"Il Supplente (The Substitute)" -- This Italian piece, a Best Live Action Short Film nominee, chronicles J.B. Holmes' spirited but, alas, 18-hole appearance in Arizona as the replacement for the injured Brett Wetterich and, thus, Woods' first opponent. Holmes takes the first hole when Tiger goes Into the Wild and actually has a 3-up lead through 13. Holmes plays the last five holes in even par, yet somehow loses in regulation. The plot thickens when Woods birdied 14-16 to pull even. An eagle at 17 gives the world's best his first lead, which he parlays into victory when Holmes misses a short birdie putt at 18 that would've sent the match to extra holes. Of course, then it wouldn't have been up for Best Live Action Short. (This film is subtitled for Holmes' thick Kentucky drawl.)

"I Met the Walrus" -- Set in Mexico at last week's other Tour stop, the Mayakoba Classic, this nominee for Best Animated Short Film features John Huston -- not the Academy Award-winning director but the extremely inanimate seven-time Tour winner -- reflecting on the two times (1999, 2001) he took on Craig Stadler in the Accenture.

"I'm Not There" -- Cate Blanchett was up for both a Best Actress and Best Supporting Oscar Sunday night. This one features her cross-dressing depiction of David Toms' withdrawal from the tournament prior to the start of his second-round match versus Aaron Baddeley, who suddenly becomes the newest Australian Idle. Toms' consolation prize is a $90,000 check for winning his first match. For Blanchett, who doesn't win either award, it's an honor just to be nominated.

"There Will Be Blood" -- A big year for marshal movies. Daniel Day-Lewis earns his second Oscar for his gory turn as the white-haired gent who's doinked in the melon by Woods' wayward tee ball at the 13th hole during Friday's third rounder against Baddeley. This film is rated PG-13 for the number of Pints Gushed out of the head of the unlucky volunteer. Woods gives the man a glove, which -- because it isn't made of gauze -- doesn't do much to stanch the bleeding. Unfortunately for Baddeley, he can't find a tourniquet to end Woods' tournament. The young Aussie misses a 16-footer for eagle at 17 that would've given him the lead and putts of 13 and 12 feet on the 18th and first extra hole that would've sent Woods packing. Tiger, meanwhile, keeps hemorrhaging birdies. His 12th of the day on the second playoff hole drops the curtain on the best match of the week.

"Gone Baby Gone" -- Based on a true story, not a single player in his 20s survives the quarterfinals. At 31, Henrik Stenson is the youngest to reach the semis where he's joined by Woods (32), Stewart Cink (34), and Justin Leonard (35).

"Atonement" -- Nominated for seven Oscars but garnering just one, it's the sobering tale of Tiger Woods' ruthless revenge against the event where his seven-tournament win streak ended a year ago. For dramatic effect, Woods beats the defending champion, Henrik Stenson, in the semifinals, 2-up. It also pushes his current win streak to four, dating back to last year's FedEx Cup playoff in Chicago.

"3:10 to Yuma" -- This cliffhanger chronicles Cink's mad dash to make his connecting flight Sunday afternoon. He did. It's the only drama surrounding the 36-hole final which Woods wins 8 and 7, ending the match around 2:45 p.m. local time in greater Tucson. Bad for NBC, which still has well over an hour left in its broadcast window; good for the players, who are trying to get home.

"No End in Sight" -- Nominated for Best Documentary, this film features a panel of experts prognosticating how long Tiger Woods' win streak will last. Woods upcoming events figure to include Bay Hill, Doral, the Masters, Wachovia, the Players, and the Memorial, all venues where he's won before. If he runs that table, that would up the streak to 10 heading into the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, which the USGA will make considerably more difficult than it plays for the Buick Invitational but a place, nonetheless, where Woods has won six times as a professional, including the last four Buicks (the most recent of which was last month).

"No Country for Old Men" -- Just like the Oscars, we've saved the biggest award for last. Click here and scroll down to see the winner of this year's Best Picture. At 32, Woods now has 63 career victories. Sunday's title has him sandwiched between Ben Hogan and Arnold Palmer in fourth place. In not even 12 full seasons, Woods has averaged five and a half wins per. It's been a clip of seven a season over the last three, and he's won both of his Tour starts this year. Conservative estimates have him blowing past Sam Snead for the all-time lead around 2011. He'd be 35.

Or he could win 10 more times this year and a dozen the next and get it over with. Either way, unlike the Oscars, it should be must-see TV.
