The big award that got twice as big this year because they want ratings or something!
Best Picture
Avatar = Nope. Looks good but it’s a remake of Pocahontas and a hundred other films. If this wasn’t so shiny and had been made by someone else it wouldn’t be near this category
The Blind Side = essentially a made for TV movie about how nice some white folks can be, with Sandra Bullock. Don’t know why this is here.
District 9 = Good on the Oscars! Extremely well made for the cost, a smart story, original to a certain extent though its not an all new idea, damned fine sci fi.
An Education = Yeah it was pretty good, not one of my favourites though
The Hurt Locker = Best live action movie I’ve seen in 3 months. Great stuff.
Inglorious Basterds = Damned good Quentin Tarantino fair. Smart dialogue, well acted, crazy story, Nazi’s.
Precious = Bleak as fuck so you’d expect Oscar to like it.
A Serious Man = Quirky Coen goodness. Found it very enjoyable.
Up = It’s Pixar, you don’t have to say much more than that. The lamp bouncing on to the screen earns their movies 4 stars. Good that they keep trying this hard after this many pictures
Up In The Air = Sure why not? It was pretty good, but I don’t know if it would be in my top ten
That’s what this basically is now huh? Hollyweirds Top Ten list. I would LOVE if The Hurt Locker walked off with this and Directing, but I think that Avatar will probably get it. For James Cameron has decreed that’s what his choice would be. There won’t be any serious upsets here, the only other one I could see winning would be Precious, but it’ll be blue cats over black inner city turmoil incest rape.
Last post to come which is just a round up of my picks. Bet your glad to hear that huh?
