The Oscars are done and the results are in. It is now time to recap and see how I did. I will only be talking about the ones that I got wrong. Over all, out of my predictions I was twelve for twenty. With the ones that were guesses and the ones that were my favorites out of the way, there were a few surprises.
Best Costume Design – They say never to vote against a period piece for a reason my friends.
Best Documentary – Well this one was a guess out of left field. Out of this list I had only saw one of the nominees.
Best Film Editing – Hurt locker won this and while I wanted District 9 to win, I would have not picked Hurt locker over Avatar.
Music (Original Score) – Up won this and I can’t argue really. It was a toss up at best.
Sound Editing – Hurt locker won again. Oscar politics at play for most of these toss ups.

Original Screenplay – Hurt lock won to my surprise. This one I disagree with completely as well. Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds not winning this was a major disservice to Tarantino. This one left a bad taste in my mouth. A war movie about a bomb squad member who deals with his life in
Well there you go. With a 60% I am feeling good, yet look to next year’s show to try and bump up my numbers.

ReplyDeleteI agree with ya man, The Hurt Locker was ok but it wasn't that great. I can let it slide with getting best picture but as far as original screenplay I would say it was pretty far from original.
