I don't have much time, so this is going to be a very short ceremony. Lights ! Cameras ! Action !..........................
I'm sad to say that I have not seen any of this years nominees for Foreign Film, Best Makeup, Documentary (long or short) or Animated Short *Weep*
BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY - this is a tough category. they're all good ones, but I think I'll go against the odds and with the cool indy film Winter's Bone
BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY - ummmmmm another tough one, so I'm just going to go with the film I liked the best . The King's Speech
BEST VISUAL EFFECTS - this one i thought was kinda easy to pick, Alice In Wonderland
BEST SOUND MIXING - ummmmm no clear winner for me, so I'm gonna go with the most innovative, Inception
BEST SOUND EDITING - for the reasons in the previous category above, Inception
BEST SCORE - thinking back on it now, I can't really remember any of the scores from the movies except for one, so this Mooscar goes to 127 Hours
BEST EDITING - I didn't particularily like the movie, but I have to say I thought it was editted very well. Black Swan
BEST COSTUME DESIGN - this movie was so visually cool, I have to give the nod to Alice In Wonderland
BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY - mannnnnn this is a tough one, but i think I will have to give it to Black Swan
BEST ART DIRECTION - again I have to go with the most visaully cool, so Alice In Wonderland
BEST ANIMATED FILM - WHERE THE HELL IS THE NOMINATION FOR DESPICABLE ME ?????? It was by far the best animated film of the year Toy Story 3 downright sucked . How To Train Your Dragon was enjoyable, but of these three I have to go with the amazingly clever Old School Animation with a better story and choose The Illusionist
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS - ooooooo this is a toughie. so many good performance, but I thik the most memorable for me was Melissa Leo in The Fighter
BEST ACTRESS - ummmmm this category isnt as full of great performances as the last one, but rather than choosing the popular nominee (whose performance I kinda thought was overrated), I'm going to go with the wonderfully underplayed indy and choose Jennifer Lawrence in Winter's Bone
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR - ooooooooo this is another toughie . though I dont understand why Geoiffrey rush wasn't nominated in the Best Actor Category, its between him and Christian Bale. ummmmm *Flips Coin*............. Christian Bale in The Fighter (sorry Geoffrey I probably would have chosen you for Best actor against those nominees)
BEST ACTOR - I didn't see Biutiful, but the remaining four are tough to call. its too bad Jeff Bridges won last year, cuz this would be a more deserving award than for last year, but his was the Most Memorable Performance, so Jeff Bridges in True Grit
BEST DIRECTOR- mannnnnnn this is a toughie. all very different movies, but I went into this movie expecting to dislike it and I didn't, so this Mooscar goes to Tom Hooper for The King's Speech
BEST PICTURE - firstly , what the hell is Toy Story 3 doing here ??? It F'ing sucked and to be honest this year's nomnations for best film kinda make one think that 2011 wasnt alll that great a year for the movies, at least not nomination wise. I do have to pick one, so from this list, the film I liked the best was The King's Speech
as usual I have to recommend not using these picks for any Oscar pools . not that I have anything against wagering, but nothing I pick usually wins, so you'll lose for sure if you go with me :p
Enjoy the Show !!
I have a whole lot of stuff coming up as well as a visit from my sis who lives in England, so its going to be a while til I get any free puter time, so there isn't going to be any more posts for a little while.............
