Well, its the month of February, meaning that it's in this month people start giving out their pointless and meaningless speculation on who will win, who won't and strangely, everyone seems to have the same opinion. Well friend, neighbours, landlord banging on my door, its time to stop the clocks, as some might say, and review the nominations, while giving my opinion in between. I'll try not to sound stupid or smart, just as a person who loves movies. This series will cover all of the "major" categories, such as directing, writing, acting and of course, producing. So let's get your heart racing in your skin tight jeans with this wonderful time of Oscars.1. Best Supporting Actor: Before I start, please bear in mine that if my opinion seems biased, it may have to do with the fact that I've not seen all these films. You've been warned. Any whom, for this, Geoffrey Rush has already won an Oscar many years ago, so we can forget about acknowledging him. This year, the most likely winner is a man who has never been nominated beforehand. He's been in many big budget films, but at the same time can really prove himself as an actor, being able to either loose weight or gain muscle like it is nothing. While he may be a little too extreme in his acting, not to award him for his hard work seems unfair. So Christan Bale, in The Fighter, your time is gonna come this year.
Winner:Christian Bale
2. Best Supporting Actress: Many of these actresses have already been nominated before, though they all share the common ground of never winning(Amy Adams, Melissa Leo, Helena Bonham Carter). But despite all this I believe that this years winner will be one that appears in a film for more screen time then all of the headlining actors combined...and yet doesn't appear on the poster for the film. I'm not saying that that is all that matters, I'm just saying that for the amount of effort that she puts into this film, that an Academy Award is the least that she deserves. This is the first movie that I've ever seen her in, and I really look forward to seeing more with her. Hallie Stienfield is the best actor overall in True Grit(no disrespect towards Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon or Josh Brolin...well maybe Matt Damon because your character was stupid, pointless and annoying, and I was hoping you would die at the end!!!) and the best breakout star since Ellen Page.
Winner: Hallie Stienfield
3. Best Writing-Adapted Screenplay
A well written movie ripped off a good book/film can make into a pretty bad movie. While I'm surprised to see True Grit nominated(???), the film I want to win is the little movie that probably won't win anything else. Until it was nominated this film wasn't even playing around in my area. It looks to become the Frost/Nixon of this year, a well reviewed film that receives nothing, as that film was in 2008. And while this man already has a Oscar on his mantle, if 127 Hours didn't win anything, it should've at least won for writing.
Winner: 127 Hours
Continues in Part 2
