OSCARS EDITION

I won't bother with any of the techinical awards because with out a doubt Avatar has changed the way we view cinema and without a doubt deserves every single one of these that it gets.

So best orginal screenplay. I say would be a tie between Up and The Hurt Locker and of these two I'm putting the buzz around the hurt locker to take it over the line.

best adapted screenplay will go to Jason Reitman for Up In The Air but I think District 9 should get it.

Original song I would like to see go to Crazy Heart.

Original Score I would like to see Up take it but have a feeling the Avatar may squeeze in.

Editing will certainly go to The Hurt Locker but without a doubt I think District 9 should get it.

The Hurt Locker will take best direction.

I think Inglourious Basterds will take cinematography.

Animated film will go to Up.

Precious will get Best Supporting Actress.

I'd like to see Precious also get Best Actress but I think it will go to The Blind Side.

Inglouroius Basterds has a firm hand on the Best Supporting actor award.

And the biggest test of the night is in in the best actor award. I think Crazy Heart will take it but A Single Man is just as deserving.

Best Film will go to Avatar.
Although due to the way the voting is done on this this year, there is a chance that District 9 or Up could slide in there.

There you have it. We will see tomorrow if I am right. Enjoy the day or evening whenever you so choose to be watching.
