Ok, it's 3 days to the Oscars, place your bets people and gives reasons as well, none of that pussy one-liner shit.
Best Film and Director: The Hurt Locker - Kathryn Bigelow
This film has won more awards than Avatar and the Oscars love giving awards that make statements or demonstrate that they are moving forward with society. Not only is The Hurt Locker one of the highest rated and most celebrated films of 2009, it also gives the Oscars an opportunity to finally give an award to a female director after passing up so many brilliant films directed by the likes Jane Campion, Sofia Coppola and Penny Marshall to name a few.
Best Actor: Jeff Bridges
He's the Dude. Everyone loves the Dude. He's been passed up 3 times for an Oscar and the Academy loves to reward those that have tried and failed and try and try again. It could also go to Colin Firth, but i'll wager Jeff Bridges take this.
Best Actress: Sandra Bullock
I haven't seen The Blind Side, haven't heard good things, but Sandra Bullock seems to be winning the awards for it left right and center. I'd love to see Gabourey Sidibe win for Precious but it doesn't look like that will happen now.
Best Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz
No doubt.
Best Supporting Actress: Mo'Nique
Again, no doubt.
Best Special FX: Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus
For a third time, no doubt.
Best Original Screenplay: Inglourious Basterds
Could go the The Hurt Locker, but given the subtly of Inglourious Basterds' subtext i'd wager it'll get it. Also, the dialogue is plain better in Inglourious Basterds, even if there is too much of it.
Best Adapted Screenplay: In The Loop
This category I'd usually skip, but I just love In The Loop so much I had to wager a bet on it, even if its chances are slim. It's just such a hilarious, cunning, dirty, conniving, smart script that is outright the funniest thing to come along in years. It deserves it for the line "****ity Bye" alone. It probably won't win because of stiff competition from Precious, An Education and Up In The Air, which are far more mainstream than In The Loop, but **** it all does it deserve to win far more than those films because its so hilariously different and genius it really should be in a league of its own.
Well gentlemen? What are you predictions?
