Oscars
(Continued from Page 7)
gritty crime drama. The Town, as well
as the movie itself, but again this a cat
egory where four of the nominees
should call it great just to be nominat
ed. Christian Bale has always turned in
solid work, but his acting in The
Fighter is just too good to go ignored.
Bale completely disappears into his role
and it’s just an amazing performance.
Expect him to finally get the recogni
tion he deserves.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
The nominees are: Amy Adams for
The Fighter, Helena Bonham Carter for
The King’s Speech, Melissa Leo for The
Fighter, Hailee Steinfeld for True Grit
and Jacki Weaver for Animal Kingdom.
Well, how about this...two actresses
from the same film, each of whom hit it
right out of the park. I think Amy
Adams did a terrific job in The Fighter,
perfectly capturing the essence of her
character, but it’s her fellow co-actress
Melissa Leo who’s destined for this one.
Leo is a veteran actress who hasn’t really
gotten recognized until now, but her
turn as a down-and-out junkie mother
fighting to keep control of her chaotic
family is sure to bring her Oscar gold.
And now for a personal favorite cat
egory of mine...
BEST ORIGINAL SCORE
The nominees are: A.R. Rahman
for 127 Hours, John Powell for How To
Train Your Dragon, Hans Zimmer for
Inception, Alexandre Desplat for The
King’s Speech and Trent Reznor &
Atticus Ross for The Social Network.
I’m one of the biggest Hans Zimmer
fans there is. His music for the films he
scores always makes for exhilarating lis
tening, and his huge score for Inception
is no exception. I want him to win so
bad...but something tells me the
Academy is going to go with Reznor &
Ross. Yes, their score for The Social
Network is interesting, but it’s no
Zimmer. However, I don’t think Oscar
voters will see it that way.
So those are my predictions. We’ll
see how accurate I was when Judgment
Day comes on February 27th.
