Since the Oscars are getting close I think it's time to start blogging about them. I think I said it in another post but I really do think the Oscars are my Superbowl. I spend the month before scrutinizing and viewing the films, meanwhile bugging the crap out of my friends on what they think (and most of them have no idea what I'm talking about lol) That night, I order food in, and threaten to kill anyone that bothers my viewing. So far, my record is 4 right, 2 wrong for Best Picture and little more conflicted with the acting categories. So here goes.
Best Actor
This year seems to be between Sean Penn for "Milk" and Mickey Rourke for "The Wrestler". Both performances were great but I think with Rourke, this part was made for him. He lives his life through this character, and I feel this is his to win. So the winner will be Mickey Rourke.
Best Actress
I always have trouble picking the actress categories, sometimes the Academy comes out from left field with these awards. I'm going to have to go with everyone else with this one. Kate Winslet of "The Reader" looks to be the winner this year (despite my hatred of this movie, she is the best part of it). Although Anne Hathaway might come out of left field to win a victory for "Rachel Getting Married". The winner will be (unfortunately) Kate Winslet.
Best Animated Feature
Wall-E...does anyone really doubt this one. (Personally I do find that it got a nominations for Best Original Screenplay, despite it not having dialogue for half of the film.)
Well, that is it right now, but I will post more for my next blog. (I wonder who is going to win Best Supporting Actor...hmm (Why so Serious!)

I agree with your guesses those three (Rourke, Winslet, and Wall-E). Having not seen The Wrestler or the Reader I do not really know if they deserve the awards, but based on how the Academy usually votes they'll vote these two actors. We got Rourke who has basically just risen from the dead, and Winslet who is too be fair probably the best actress of her generation, will win because shes got six nominations and no wins. The oscars tend to give an award not for the individual performance but because the person has been snubbed in the past. I also agree, the Oscars are my Superbowl. I love Oscar night but unfortunately this year I'm way behind on checking all the movies out.
ReplyDeleteSo i agree the oscars are definatly my superbowl...i love watching it because it also introduces me to films i have not yet seen or have not yet heard about...i think it opens my eyes to alotta different films which is great...personally i knew slum dog millionaire was going to win an award just because of all the gossip behind it..i mean it was all over regis and kelly so i knew it was gonna win lol,,,but yea i agree the oscars are always good...
ReplyDeleteNot to be redundant, but I agree with you all about the Oscars being your Superbowl. I love awards season and actually look forward to the Golden Globes, the Oscars, all of the major award shows really. I have to admit that I haven't kept up with all of the nominated films this year, but I am hoping to see some of them soon. As for your choices to win, I completely agree. I don't think that there is any question that Kate Winslet will take the Best Actress category and Mickey Rourke seems like the frontrunner for Best Actor.
