Oscars’ Nite Sunday!

Hey guys, as you all probably know, this Sunday are the glamorous Oscars. I have to admit, I have been a huge fan of these awards for a very long time. This year I feel there are so many talented performers who got nominated and not. Sally Hawkins’ character in Happy-Go-Lucky is definitely one that deserved to be nominated for Best Actress. I just loved the movie, and the character is pure energy and charisma. Keira Knightley I feel got left out of the race as well playing Georgina of Devonshire in The Duchess. The movie as a whole was spectacular; just can’t understand how it did not score some nominations…On the other hand I am happy to see Kate Winslet nominated for The Reader. I just recently saw the movie and thought was fantastic. It is a very sad story, but the cinematography, characters, story do bring a new way of seeing the other side of the WWII era. The Reader without a doubt is my choice for best movie of the year. Revolutionary Road is my other choice, but I guess I won’t be hoping for that since it got left out. The Wrestler, another great great movie did not score Best Picture of the Year, but I would have loved to see it up there. Mickey Rourke is just delightful playing his character. So believable and powerful. Couldn’t believe the reviews when I read about it, but after seeing the movie I couldn’t do anything but agree with every single one of them. Marisa Tomei is wonderful so is Evan Rachel Wood. So here are my picks for Sunday’s awards…for Best Picture I would love to see The Reader win. As for Best Actor, Mickey Rourke! I am sure Sean Penn will come very close on this one, and I wouldn’t mind seeing him win, since his role as Harvey Milk is awesome as well. For Best Actress, Kate Winslet please…she deserves it and it’s long overdue. Melissa Leo’s Frozen River performance is unbelievable by the way, so she is my second choice on this. Heath Ledger will win, so no arguing here…as for Best Supporting Actress, my absolute fav is Spaniard beauty Penelope Cruz. She is crazy and so out there in Vicky Cristina Barcelona; no real competition here. However, Viola Davis has been getting a lot of press for her role, but in my opinion doesn’t come close to Penelope’s. So here you have it, my little piece of Oscar’s fascination!
