This award season is probably the best by far in a long time. Starting with the MTV VMA's last year and now wrapping the season up with the Oscars...The noms came out today and just as expected "Precious" made the cut by landing SIX nominations; Best Picture, Best Actress (Gabby Sidibe), Best Supporting Actress (Monique), Best Director (Lee Daniels), Best Editing, and Best Writing (adaptation from a screenplay). Congrats to Precious!!!!
Precious joins nine other films in the Best Picture category. This happens to be the most films in the category in Oscar history. Avatar, The Blind Side, The Hurt Locker, Inglorious Basterds, An Education, District 9, A Serious Man, Up, and Up in the Air. With Avatar still the #1 film (probably globally) right now, I think it's safe to say the Oscar will go to them.
Other nominees are Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep, Sandra Bullock, Carey Mulligan (and Gabbey Sidibe of course) are all nominated for best Actress. My prediction is that this will go to Sandra Bullock for her role in "The Blind Side". She really brought her character to life and made you believe she was Leanne in that movie.
Best Actor nominees are Morgan Freeman, George Clooney, Jeff Bridges, Colin Firth and Jeremy Renner. Hands down George Clooney for "Up in Air".
I think Monique is definitely taking home the Oscar for best supporting actress. Her competition is slim and none in that category. "Up" will take it for best animated film. I'll be watching some of these other nominated films that I haven't seen so I can give my predictions so stay tuned...
