Now remember this is the first year that has 10 nominations for Best Picture...for what reason I have no Idea...Probably to throw some more genre films a bone but really whats the point? As much as I'd like to see District 9 get the Oscar I doubt it has a snowballs chance in hell. Now how do I think will win the various Oscars? Not positive because I'm behind on the old ball for half these flicks but I will say from what I've seen I'd vote the following:
Picture: Inglorious Bastards
Directing: Cameron-Based strictly on the basis that it was a technical breakthrough in film-making, though I'm sure Bigelow takes it.
Actor: Haven't seen any of those flicks sadly but I'd imagine Bridges has an edge here.
Actress: No Opinion
Supporting Actor: Should follow the Globes and be Waltz
Supporting Actress: Better not be Mo'Nique
Adapted Screenplay: Would love to see D-9 take it
Original Screenplay: Ideally Bastards but probably Up in the Air
Animated: Mr. Fox should but Pixar dominates this always
Cinematography: Avatar
Editing: Bastards
These aren't who i think will win but who 'd like to. I think the Oscars (and really all movie award shows) are a joke but I'm still always interested to see who wins the next day. Who's hosting this year Baldwin or something? Yeah I'll flip to watch the memorial section and Best Picture.
Thoughts?
