What Will Happen...(Part 2)

I just added a Part 2 to expand so the original blog wouldn't be to long. To give props to the Oscar guys, they made the nominees seriously interesting. An animated movie mixed with a few sci-fi flicks, some adult-only indies, and a war movie here and there. But if Oscar was to stick to its traditional roots, everyone knows it would be narrowed down to Basterds, Precious, Hurt Locker, Up in the Air and Avatar. But it's good to mix up the otherwise boring bag. We all know Bullock is taking Best Actress home, Bridges will be receiving Best Actor, Mo'Nique will get Best Supporting Actress, and Christoph Waltz for his impressive performance in the Best Supporting Actor category (watch the first 20 minutes of Basterds, it's chilling.) Up in the Air is going to get Adapted Screenplay, Avatar is going to win every technical award of its 9 nominations, but I gotta bad feeling The Hurt Locker is going to win Best Picture and Best Director. I'd like to add as well Freeman well deserves his nomination, and if it weren't for Bridges in the race, he and Clooney would be going head to head for the award, you actually think he's Mandella in a couple scenes. Streep could most definitely take it home for her celebrated performance as the world popular chef, but not likely since Bullock's film was also nominated for Best Picture. U gotta balance these things out. Whatever happens will go down as maybe one of the most interesting races in Oscar history, and either (just as a reminder):
Avatar
District 9
The Blind Side
An Education
Inglourious Basterds
Up
Up in the Air
The Hurt Locker
Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire
A Serious Man
will now be in the same category as such iconic films like Gone with the Wind, Casablanca, Schindler's List, The Sound of Music, The Godfather, Lawrence of Arabia and West Side Story in the terms of a Best Picture winning film. We'll see.
