Well, here I am again, attempting to name the winners of this year Academy Awards. Let's see how I do.
Best Supporting Actress
This year's nominees seem to be in a rare position, none that I can recall have one any other awards this year for their performances, because every other film awards have given the award to Kate Winslet, but since whe is in the Best Actress competition, this makes this category a little harder to jusdge. After watching all of these films (except Vicky Cristina Barcelona) all of the performances were terrific. That being said, I do not see either Amy Adams or Viola Davis winning, not being the head of the pack. In my mind I see Taraji P. Henson in Benjamin Button or Marisa Tomei in the Wrestler as the ones to choose. Though I enjoy them both, I see Marasi Tomei to pull out a close one. Good luck on winning you're first REAL Oscar (My Cousin Vinny...really?)
Best Supporting Actor
Heath Ledger, Heath Ledger, Heath Ledger...God help the Academy otherwise.
Best Picture
Well there are two clear canidates this year as always. This year its The Curious Case of Benjamin Button vs. Slumdog Millionaire. Like last, everyone knew who the winner would be, it's pretty obvious by now, so I'll just say it, Slumdog Millionaire. Slumdog Millionaire is the first Western Indie film that I've heard of. The story is storybook and the music superb. The story of one man's suffering to be finally delivered a winning hand by destiny is definetly a keeper.
Best Director
This could go to David Fincher but I doubt it. This year I think it will go to Danny Boyle. The direction of this film was perfect and should not be changed one bit.
Well, that's it! The Oscars are next Sunday, so let's see if I get them all right this time.

I agree with you for best supporting actress, although I think she did deserve it for My Cousin Vinny, Best supporting actor will/should be Heath Ledger and best director it'll most probably go to Danny Boyle. Slumdog will win best picture.
ReplyDeleteBoth Slumdog Millionaire and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button look really good and I can't wait to see them. Based on the way things have gone at every other award show, I think Slumdog Millionaire will end up winning best picture and I will be truly surprised if Danny Boyle doesn't win for best director.
ReplyDeleteWhat's telling is a lack of any discussion for Best Foreign Language Film.... are we going to breach that discussion this week?
