LOL, James Cameron is saying that he's hoping his ex-wife will win.

I haven't seen The Hurt Locker yet but I have seen Avatar. Avatar is very good.

I'm hoping she'll win, too! I haven't seen Avatar, but I know it isn't my thing.

I'm rooting for Mr. Darcy!!!!!!!

Go Colin! Go Colin! Go, Go, Go Colin!

Liza · 02-02-2010, 08:25 PM

I haven't decided about Best Picture yet, because so far the only one I've seen is "Precious." But here are my picks:

Best Director: Quentin Tarantino - I would love to see his acceptance speech! I just really hope James Cameron doesn't win.

Best Actor: Colin Firth (Jeff Bridges comes in second)

Best Actress: Meryl Streep - come on! She hasn't won in over 25 years. Let's give the lady her second Best Actress award.

Best Supporting Actor: Christopher Plummer - He's Captain Von Trapp. Need I say more?

Best Supporting Actress: Mo'Nique. She was ASTONISHING in Precious. Fantastic work.

Best Foreign: The White Ribbon. I haven't seen it yet, but it sounds wonderful und ich liebe Deutschland!

Best Animated: The Princess and the Frog. Love, love, love this movie! Love it love it love it. It's so my type of movie. Although I can tell you right now that it's not going to win. "Up" has it in the bag.

I agree. I don't get all the Bullock love. I mean, I do enjoy her very much as an actress, but not where this year's Oscar's are concerned. I just can't see that role being anything any other actress couldn't have pulled off.

I completely agree with you. Streep and Sidibe were the best, but Bullock's unfortunately gotten all the buzz.

JamesG · 02-02-2010, 08:41 PM

Regarding Best Picture these are what I have seen:

Avatar
District 9
Inglourious Basterds

I will be absolutely shocked (faint) if District 9 wins. I do like the film but come on.. look at the competition.

MrCleveland · 02-03-2010, 11:25 PM

No Doubt "Avatar" will win Best Picture as well as the other categories that it's nominated for.

"Up" will probably come in second.

Marvo301 · 02-03-2010, 11:43 PM

I saw The Blind Side and I thought it was a great movie. While I thought Sandra Bullock was good in this movie , I didn't think her performance was great or Oscar worthy. Just my opinion.

Yep, it's the hype that's carrying her through.
