80th Annual Academy Awards
Posted by: Wrixel in Movies, tags: 80th Annual Academy AwardsHere is a quick summary with my personal thoughts. I’ve included the links to the official Oscars page to speeches and videos.
I left out a lot of categories so please forgive me.
Actor in a Supporting Role
Javier Bardem
No Country for Old Men
My Thoughts:
I also liked Casey Affleck performance but I’m happy with this decision. I honestly didn’t think Javier’s acting was all that great but I guess that’s just me.
Visual Effects
The Golden Compass.
My Thoughts:
I don’t want to down play the Golden Compass but I seriously don’t think a little girl on a polar bear had better special effects than a HUGE ROBOT tearing apart a bus. Sorry this REALLY didn’t sit well with me. I thought this should’ve won:
Actress in a supporting role
Tilda Swinton
My Thoughts:
I actually didn’t see Michael Clayton yet so I can’t really say much. I thought Cate Blanchett would win but I GUESS NOT.
Best Actor
Daniel Day-Lewis
There will be Blood
My Thoughts:
If you saw the movie than you know this was a no brainer…the other actors did awesome jobs but I was really blown away from by Daniel’s performance. Some scenes in the movie are JUST awesome.
Best Actress
Marion Cotillard
La Vie EN Rose
My Thoughts:
I actually did not see La Vie En Rose so I don’t have much to say.
She was extremely cute though.
Writing (Original Screenplay)
JUNO
My Thoughts:
I really wanted JUNO to win… and it did!! It was a great feel good movie and I am glad Diablo Cody won. She has an awesome tattoo on her arm…
That’s an awesome TATOO!
Best Picture
No Country for Old Men
My Thoughts:
Old Country for No Men was a good movie but I really thought "There Will Be Blood" would win. Anyone else agree??
