The Academy Awards also known as the Oscar is the last but the most prestigious award giving bodies that every movie fans like me are excited about during the award season in the US. So for this post, I'll be making my predictions and some commentaries about my choices for the 83rd Academy Awards --whom I think will win and whom I want to win.
(Selected Awards only)
Best Picture
Think and Want: The King's Speech - I was initially skeptical with this film winning the Oscar's after The Social Network had the industry buzzing about its front runner status in the said category but after SAG and BAFTA declaring it their best film, that status shifted positively to this British film. It's definitely my favorite! Colin Firth's stutter and Helena's accent got me!
Best Director
Think: David Fincher -Golden Globes, BAFTA and SAG said so
Want: Tom Hooper - I, most of the time believe that if a movie won the Best Picture -the director should get 60% of the credits and since my best picture is The King's Speech, my winner is from this film as well --atleast, that's what I want to happen. haha
Best Actress
Think: Natalie Portman - As much as I like (LOVE!) her, I think Annette should get this but apparently, Natalie's time has arrived. Sometimes, timing plays a very important part on choosing who's going to win. Look at Sandra winning last year over Meryl Streep.
Want: Annette Bening - She just can't get a break. First, losing to Hilary Swank and this. I'd be so damn happy if she'd get her first Oscar-- please Academy, give where the credit is due!
Best Actor
Think and Want: Colin Firth - please, give it to Colin this time. He was so robbed last year and his performance was way above his competition!
Best Supporting Actor
Think and Want: Christian Bale - he's superb in The Fighter and he should get that statuette on February 27!!
Best Supporting Actress
Think: Melissa Leo -Like Natalie Portman, her moment has arrived. I do think though that she "kinda" deserved this award after losing quite a number of times. Haha
Want: Helena Bonham Carter - she's just my sentimental favorite!!
Best Animated Film
Think: Toy Story 3 - this is stupid, you'd nominate an animated film in the Best Picture Category and Best Animated Film at the same time? They should just give the award right away to this film for the Animated Film Category, like seriously???
Want: As much as I was touched by Toy Story 3, my favorite would have to be How To Train Your Dragon which was the first film I've given a 10/10 ratings.
Best Original Song
Think: I See The Light - from Tangled
Want: If I Rise - 127 Hours
Best Make Up
Think: Barney's Version
Want: The Wolfman
Best Art Direction
Think and Want: Inception
Best Costume Design
Think and Want: Alice In Wonderland
Best Adapted Screenplay
Think: The Social Network
Want: 127 Hours
