Well, it’s that time of the year again and I have made my Oscar predictions. In a bit of a high-tech add-on this year, I have posted my picks on the official Oscar website, which can be used to create a pool with anyone I follow on Facebook (gotta love technology). Anyways, here’s my picks…
Award season kicked into full gear this morning as the Oscar nominations were announced. As is my usual habit, I shall give my random thoughts: As a result of slightly modified rules (in which the Academy nominates UP TO ten films), there are only nine Best Picture nominees, six of which I have seen. I highly doubt…
I have been making Oscar predictions in this blog since 2005. In all those years, I have never even gotten close to the number of correct predictions I made this year. At this year’s ceremony, I correctly chose a whopping 18 of the 24 awards! While some of the technical awards can be attributed to…
This year with the help of the Official Oscar iPhone/iPod Touch app, I was able to quickly and conveniently make my Oscar predictions. Here are my predictions imported directly from the app, with a few additional comments by me. Best Picture: The King’s Speech , Iain Canning, Emile Sherman and Gareth Unwin A lot of people (especially critics)…
The Oscar nominations were just announced this morning. As usual, here are my random thoughts: I’ve seen every Best Picture nominee, except for The Kids are Alright and Winter’s Bone. I will try to see those two before the ceremony. James Franco becomes the first Oscar host in recent memory to also have a Best…
Source: /Film It was announced that James Franco and Anne Hathaway are going to co-host the 83rd Academy Awards on February 27, 2011. Traditionally, the Oscars have been hosted by comedians, which included long runs by Bob Hope, Johnny Carson, and Billy Crystal. In 2009, the Oscars changed the formula by having Hugh Jackman host. …
Well The Hurt Locker came out on top tonight as both Best Picture and winner of the most awards. I matched my 14 correct predictions from last year, with most of them coming in the second half of the broadcast. One thing I think I should comment on is that I think the Academy made…
I have to say it was an interesting Oscar race. Will the $2 billion grossing Hollywood blockbuster win the big prize or will it be a smaller independent war film. These predictions are a little more to the point than previous years, but I will still give reasoning for the major categories. All Predictions are…
Out of all the Best Picture nominees I missed, this is the film I most wished I’d seen. A combination of a limited theatrical run and a lack of time caused me to miss this film’s theatrical run. It’s a shame, since I’ve become quite a fan of the Coen Brother’s previous films. The Coens…
I will start by saying that the full title Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire is, in my opinion, way too long. I have to say that I probably knew that this film was going to be nominated after it won the People’s Choice award at the Toronto Film Festival. In fact there…
