For first time ever I have seen all the movies nominated in the best picture category in this year’s Oscars. I therefore feel I can not only offer my opinion on who should win the high-profile awards but also add a few extra categories of my own.
Best sex scene – The Kids Are Alright – Lesbian Jules (Julianne Moore) temporary lapsing to get it on in raunchy scenes with sperm donor Paul (Mark Ruffalo) .
Best swearing – The Kings Speech – Colin Firth as King George VI finds his voice to show that even Royalty can swear like troopers when the need arises.
Best use of a foreign language – Toy Story 3 – Buzz Lightyear returns to default settings to become Spanish Buzz with hilarious consequences.
Most useful life skill when times are hard – Winter’s Bone – Ree (Jennifer Lawrence) shows her younger brother and sister how to shoot and skln a squirrel.
Best goosebumps scene – Black Swan – Nina (Natalie Portman) returns home from a night on the razzle – she thinks she’s alone but when she turns on the light, her mother (Barbara Hershey) is sitting waiting.
Dumbest line – The Fighter – Micky’s mother fails to ease the burden of potential failure by telling him: “All we ever wanted was for you to be world champion”.
And for what it’s worth, here is my list of who SHOULD win in the major categories:
Directing
Darren Aronofsky (“Black Swan”)
Actor in a Leading Role
Colin Firth in “The King’s Speech”
Actor in a Supporting Role
Geoffrey Rush in “The King’s Speech”
Actress in a Leading Role
Natalie Portman in “Black Swan”
Actress in a Supporting Role
Hailee Steinfeld in “True Grit”
Music (Original Score)
“The Social Network” Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross
Writing (Adapted Screenplay)
“Winter’s Bone” Adapted for the screen by Debra Granik & Anne Rosellini
Writing (Original Screenplay)
“The King’s Speech” Screenplay by David Seidler
These are not necessarily who WILL win because The King’s Speech will probably win best picture and adapted screenplay will probably go to The Social Network.
