Whelp, I got my glasses, guys. They're alright, I guess. But no one wants to get glasses, ya know? They're a major buzz kill. Yeah.
Happy Friday! I love Fridays more than anything in the whole world, and I hate Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. Haven't we had this discussion, I think so.
Now, it is indeed that time of the year. It is time for me to give you my 2010 Oscar Picks. The award ceremony will be taking place on Sunday, and everyone is in high gear in the movie industry. Who will win? Who will fail horrendously? Who will pull a Bjork? In two days, these questions will be answered. But who cares about that stuff right now? Let's get to my predictions!
Best Supporting Actress:
My order to win:
1. Monique, Precious, Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire
2. Anna Kendrick, Up in the Air
3. Maggie Gyllenhaal, Crazy Heart
4. Vera Farmiga, Up in the Air
5. Penelope Cruz, Nine
Who Will Most Likely Win: Monique
Listen, this one is a given. This year in the film Precious, Monique played villain/abusive Mama Mary Jones. Messed up mothers are shoe-ins for the award. Anna Kendrick will come in 2nd, because the Academy loves that young girl who did good. The rest are Wild Cards.
Best Supporting Actor:
My Order to Win:
1. Stanley Tucci, The Lovely Bones
2. Matt Damon, Invictus
3. Woody Harrelson, The Messenger
4. Christoph Waltz, Inglourious Basterds
5. Christopher Plummer, The Last Station
Who Will Most Likely Win: Christoph Waltz
Newbie Christoph Waltz, like Monique, has been sweeping awards this season, and the Oscars won't be any different. However, from what I've seen in trailers, I don't understand what all the fuss is about. I think the award should go to Stanley Tucci, for his work as a serial killer. The Lovely Bones looked good, but it didn't live up to expectations. Someone deserves credit for this so-so movie. Matt Damon should come in 2nd since Morgan Freeman won't win Best Actor.
Best Actress:
My Order:
1. Sandra Bullock, The Blind Side
2. Gabourey Sidibe, Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire
3. Carey Mulligan, An Education
4. Meryl Streep, Julie & Julia
5. Helen Mirren, The Last Station
Who Will Most Likely Win: Sandra Bullock or Meryl Streep
I know what you're thinking. A lot of people think Meryl Streep will win. I disagree completely. People say she didn't act, she impersonated Julia Child in her film. She deserves an Oscar for that? I can watch FANTASTIC impersonations on Saturday Night Live, but those people don't get Emmy's, much less Oscars! Sandra Bullock's breakthrough performance as strict, open mother Leigh Anne Tuoghy is breathtaking. Not only has her transition to dramatic films been amazing, but the little things Sandra does in little scenes of the movie seem effortless, yet they still amaze me when I watch them. Sandra deserves an Oscar. Don't get me wrong, I like Meryl Streep, but she's had her time. She has been nominated for 16 Oscars. She's lost a lot, but some of her older performances have deserved an Oscar more than her latest one. Why should she win for something that wasn't as good as the last? Despite this, newcomer Gabby Sidibe or petite little Carey Mulligan may be able to pull huge upsets over both Sandra and Meryl. And Helen Mirren, well, sorry.
Best Actor:
My Order:
1. Jeff Bridges, Crazy Heart
2. George Clooney, Up in the Air
3. Morgan Freeman, Invictus
4. Jeremy Renner, The Hurt Locker
5. Colin Firth, A Single Man
Who Will Most Likely Win: Jeff Bridges
Let's face it. This one is a no-brainer. Jeffy will finally win something. Yipee. George is overrated, so he won't be awarded ANYTHING! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA. Morgan, Jeremy, and Colin have no chance either. Like I said, no brainer.
Best Director:
My Order:
1. Kathryn Bigelow, The Hurt Locker,
2. James Cameron, Avatar
3. Lee Daniels, Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire
4. Quentin Tarantino, Inglourious Basterds
5. Jason Reitman, Up in the Air
Who Will Most Likely Win: Kathryn Bigelow
The only real contenders here just so happen to be Exes. And I think the Academy will have a hard time not giving the award to Kathryn, but that's just me.
And finally....
Best Picture:
My Order:
1. Avatar
2.The Blind Side
3. Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire
4. Up
5. An Education
6. The Hurt Locker
7. Inglourious Basterds
8. Up in the Air
9. A Serious Man
10. District 9
Who Will Most Likely Win: Avatar
For once, this may be a year when the person who wins Best Director doesn't get the award for Best Picture.
Tune into the Academy Awards Sunday night at 7:00 p.m. on ABC!
Color Me Gone,
Zach
