What are your thoughts on the nominees and winners? I was pretty impressed by most of the nominees (Michael Shannon and John Hawkes recognised for example) and the winners didn't exactly surprise me. That's two Best Director wins for Scorsese. The Clooney and Williams wins suddenly make those races wide open (Pitt and Streep won at the NYCC). Still, very little love for a lot of films here. We Need to Talk About Kevin and The Ides of March for example. No nominations for Ides or The Descendants in ensemble - with the winner being Bridesmaids? Makes no sense. Great to see Andy Serkis nominated for Rise of the Planet of the Apes, too. Hopefully the first of many for him.
Chivo wins Cinematography!!!! I'll say this. If Chivo doesn't win the Oscar for Best Cinematography for The Tree of Life. I'm a-gonna riot!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't see anyone beating him. Should have it close to locked up.
ReplyDeleteHe better. I'm still pissed off that he and Rodrigo Prieto both had to lose to Dion Bebe for that dull movie Memoirs of a Geisha.
ReplyDeleteI think Clooney has a really good chance to take this Oscar for 2011! I just don't really see him as an actor .. he's more of a filmstar.
ReplyDeleteI was sure last year that this would be DiCaprio's year with J. Edgar but since it hasn't really been a favourite I think he's lost the game. Gatsby's coming out next year so..
As much as I admire Clooney and think his performance is great in THE DESCENDANTS, I can't help but think that the film is just missing an element (a wow factor) that gives it the edge required. Clooney will no doubt be nominated, but I think he falls behind Michael Shannon and Brad Pitt in the depth chart. Then there is Fassbender for SHAME, and even Gosling for DRIVE. I have heard very little positive response about J. EDGAR. It could result in DiCaprio missing out this year. He has lots of competition.
