Oscar nominations are out! Yes, the Oscars - the Academy Awards - the one award show I love watching every year. I don't know what it is that draws me in every year? Maybe the glitz and glamor? The Hollywood dream? Who knows...
The one thing I do know, is that I make it a goal to watch all the best picture nominations before the big show. AND...I never end up accomplishing that goal.
So, I ask myself, will this be the year? Will this be the year I see all the best picture nominations before Oscar comes to town? Well let's get down to this years picks:
Oh...and by the way, they pick 10 movies now...not only 5. Here we go...
1. Black Swan - Seen it! Yes, that's one. The movie was...well weird, but good! A very dark, psychological thriller. On a side note, I think Natalie Portman has a great shot for the best actress win.
2. The Fighter - Seen it! Two for two! And can I just say, this was probably the best movie I've seen all year. It was funny, inspirational, and had heart. Christian Bale is my pick for best supporting actor.
3. Inception - Seen it! Wowza! Three in a row! Let's keep going! This movie was AWESOME!! I actually bought it. Christopher Nolan is one of my favourite directors. I'm pretty sure this movie will win all the special effects awards.
4. The Kids Are All Right - Haven't seen it...yet. Well, the streak had to end somewhere. I've heard this movie is pretty funny and that the acting is first class. I can't wait to see it!
5. The King's Speech - Seen it! Four out of Five! Awesome! This movie was surprisingly funny. Colin Firth is the one to beat in the best actor category.
6. 127 Hours - Haven't seen it. This movie looks insane. On my 'to see' list for sure!
7. The Social Network - Haven't seen it. I know! How could I not have seen this movie? It's the movie that defines our generation. It's our Breakfast Club. Our Clerks. Our Dazed and Confused. Anyway, I'll be watching this movie FOR SURE...and ASAP. Will this movie win best picture? We'll have to wait and see.
8. Toy Story 3 - Seen it. Not only have I seen this movie, it's also the only movie on the list that made me cry. haha. It always makes me happy to see an animated film in the best picture category. It was awesome!
9. True Grit - Haven't seen it. I am planning on watching it this weekend though. I've heard nothing but great things.
10. Winter's Bone - Haven't seen it. Haven't heard of it.
Well, there you have it - The 2011 Academy Award best picture nominees. Five out of ten. Not bad! I have a month to watch five movies. Can I do it? I think I can!!
