Ok so the oscars are this Sunday (March 7th at 8 pm on ABC). There are A LOT of nominees this year. The one i am really looking forward to is BEST PICTURE.
And the nominees are....
Best Picture
-Avatar
-The Blind Side
-District 9
-An Education
-The Hurt Locker
-INGLORIOUS BASTARDS
-Precious
-A Serious Man
-UP
-Up In the Air
Out of all of these, the obvious choice would be Avatar. It holds the number 1 movie spot, it cost 852652659126 dollars to make blah blah blah, point being, it still isn't that great of a movie. everyone made such a big deal about the effects, guess what? more movies are gonna have effects like that. the Oscars are to award outstanding movies. not just in one category but in all. and i just don't think avatar had such a great plot or climax, its all been seen before. So my pick for best picture???? INGLORIOUS BASTERDS
This movie had it all. great writing (Quentin Tarantino) direction, acting, plot, effects etc. etc. etc. it had all the key elements to an Oscar winner.
Now if you still haven't seen Inglorious Basterds i recommend you go out and get it NOW! You can watch the trailer at the end and see for yourself. Now lots of people aren't big war movie fans, but hey neither am i. and i LOVE this movie. It has more to it. Its an actual story, it just happens to take place during the war. it doesn't have those cheesy love plots either (ex. pearl harbor).
Although i must admit that i would like to see UP win too. that movie also had all those elements. but an animated movie has never won best picture. Only beauty and the beast and UP have had the honor of even being nominated. So UP's chances aren't looking that great.
Inglorious Basterds is also nominated in the catetgories of...... Actor in a supporting role (Christopher Waltz), Cinematography, Directing (Quentin Tarantino), Film editing, Sound editing, Sound mixing, and Writing (original screenplay). I think Basterds should win in each category.
Although (again) i would have no objection if UP won in writing (original screenplay), Sound editing, and Music . But i fully expect UP to win in Animated Feature.

Do you think the hurt locker has a chance of winning? I have read great reviews but I haven't seen it.
it does have a really good chance according to the critics. but maybe because of all the controversy it will get looked over, or maybe that will make it win. haha
