Oscar Picks!
Oh, how the time flies! This will be the second Academy Awards that I cover ( last year, my accuracy at picking the winners was approx 50%) and to mark this occasion, I am going to be making two lists, one of my picks and the other of dark horses that may just squeak in. I’ll be posting a more comprehensive list later but for now, here are the picks for the big five categories:
Best Actor:
Actors that can realistically portray human frailty and dramatic personal growth usually win this award.
My pick:
Dark horse: Ryan Golsing
Best Actress:
Actresses who play strong female role models that have both a sensitive and an authoritative side usually win this award.
My pick: Helen Mirren
Dark horse: Penelope Cruz
Best Director:
This one usually goes to the director of the film that is the runner up for the Best Picture.
My pick: Martin Scorsese – The Departed (but not out of pity for Scorsese, this really was his best since Casino)
Dark horse: Alejandro González Iñárritu –
Best Foreign Film:
This category is wide open. Sometimes, art films win, other times, films that generate large box office revenues win. This one is a crap shoot at best when it comes to patterns.
My pick: Pan’s Labyrinth
Dark horse: Water
Best Picture:
Usually, Films picked for this category has had some impact on film making or the film industry in general, but this year the nominees are smaller indie type films.
My pick:
Dark horse: Little Miss Sunshine
