If more actors were willing to stretch like Tilda Swinton, cinema would be a more consistently enjoyable place. I know it's unrealistic to expect an out of nowhere surprise nomination for her in Leading Actress. Even surprises like Laura Linney in <i>The Savages</i> had something going for them with awards at some point in the season. I'm officially going to get my hopes up for Swinton (again, she deserved the supporting nod for TCCoBB) so I can rain fire and brimstone upon the Internet when she's snubbed. <br /><br />I mean, I've backed some crazy horses in recent years. I've given my own award to scream queens, children, even women who've basically had to smile pretty and cry on cue. But this one, this makes sense. Tilda Swinton glams up to deglam, plays an alchie & compulsive liar, and goes through the full gammot of emotions in this performance. WTF? Where is the love? No really. I understand the pain now. I'm retroactively angry at the critics' snubbing.<br /><br />I'm afraid of what's going to happen when I see <i>Bright Star</i> if this is how I react to a gritty, ambitious, but ultimately flawed film.OtherRoberthttp://www.trentsketch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-18837465340293869532010-01-27T19:47:53.991-05:002010-01-27T19:47:53.991-05:00I think she will do good i like her as an actress

Please?
My final...Can you update YOUR Oscar picks? Please?<br /><br />My final picks until nominations:<br />BEST PICTURE/DIRECTOR:<br />1-2. Hurt Locker or Avatar (note: Bigelow has a better chance in Director, but they're dead even in Pic)<br />3. Precious<br />4. Up in the Air (losing steam, plus it's funny and too current)<br />5. Inglourious Basterds<br />6. An Education<br />7. Invictus<br />8. Up<br />9. A Serious Man<br />10. I have no idea.<br />Alternates: Lots-see Slot 10.<br /><br />BEST ACTOR:<br />1. Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart)<br />2. George Clooney (Up in the Air)<br />3. Morgan Freeman (Invictus)<br />4. Colin Firth (Single Man)<br />5. Jeremy Renner (Hurt Locker)<br />Alternates: Viggo Mortensen in The Road<br /><br />BEST ACTRESS:<br />1. Meryl Streep in Julie and Julia<br />2-3. Carey Mulligan in An Education and Sandra Bullock (ugh) in Blind Side<br />4. Gabourey Sibide in Precious<br />5. Helen Mirren in Last Station<br />Alternates: Emily Blunt in Young Victoria, Marion Cotillard in Nine<br /><br />BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR:<br />1. Christoph Waltz in Basterds<br />2. Woody Harrelson in Messenger<br />3. Stanley Tucci for Lovely Bones (no Julie/Julia, sorry)<br />4. Matt Damon in Invictus<br />5. Plummer in Last Station<br />Alternates: Alfred Molina in An Education, Anthony Mackie in Hurt Locker, Christian McKay in Me and Orson Welles<br /><br />BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS:<br />1. Mo'nique in Precious<br />2. Anna Kendrick in Up in the Air<br />3. Vera Farmiga in Up in the Air<br />4. Melanie Laurent in Basterds (ACADEMY, DON'T PUT HER IN THE LEAD CATEGORY!)<br />5. Julianne Moore in Single Man<br />Alternates: Cotillard if her campaign doesn't work out even though I think it will, Cruz in Nine, Diane Kruger in Basterds, Weaver in Avatar<br /><br />BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY:<br />1. Precious<br />2. Up in the Air<br />3. An Education<br />4. Invictus<br />5. Fantastic Mr. Fox<br />Alternate: Bright Star<br /><br />BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY:<br />1. Hurt Locker<br />2.

Not sure here since About Elly is gone, I'll take a BIG risk and say Peru's Milk of Sorrow<br /><br />This is who WILL, not SHOULD, win. Though it's pretty similar in Director, Actor, S. Actor, S. Actress, both Screenplays, to an extent Animated (tie between Up/Fox/Coral/Ponyo), Documentary, and Foreign.<br /><br />Hmmm...I'll agree with 9/11 of the major award winners unless there's a shocker. 81%.

If you ask me, its a simple matter of alphabetizing. In the past, people expected Leonardo DiCaprio for The Departed and Kate Winslet for Revolutionary Road...only to find out they were right about the actors, wrong about the movies. Blood Diamand and The Reader (assuming the traditional trend to overlook "The") come before The Departed and Revolutionary Road...if names/movies are listed alphabetically, then people see the name they want to vote for, mark it, and move on (without double checking if it's the right movie). Alas, Stanley Tucci for Julie and Julia (instead of The Lovely Bones).
