The Academy Awards are next Sunday, and here’s the nominations list.
Here are a couple of my predictions:
- I think that Forest Whitaker will win (or at least he deserves it) for best Actor - he was simply amazing in Last King of Scotland.
- Best animated feature has to be Pixar’s Cars.
- Achievement in directing will be The Departed most likely.
- Best motion picture is tough - I think Babel or The Queen will win.
- Visual effects is flat-out Pirates of the Caribbean.
I literally haven’t seen a tenth of the movies that I wanted to this past year, so here are movies I definitely want to rent on DVD, whether or not they win:
- The Departed
- The Queen
- Babel
- Letter’s from Iwo Jima
- Pan’s Labyrinth
- Borat
- Blood Diamond
- Dream Girls
- An Inconvienent Truth
I know, I know you’re saying “And he calls himself a film buff?!?!?!” But I’m really looking forward to seeing and reviewing all of these movies, in addition to some that I’ve already seen like Little Miss Sunshine and The Last King of Scotland.
