The Oscars: Best Picture

Tomorrow night, Sunday March 7th, the Academy Awards will air and all of Hollywood would be out in their Sunday's Best to receive awards for the great work they put out and I will be watch like alot of people in the world. I have made my choices to whom i think will win, but we can still talk about the nominees. Today to discuss the Best Picture nominees and they are:

Avatar
The Blind Side
District 9
An Education
The Hurt Locker
Inglourious Basterds
Precious: Based on the Novel "Push" by
Sapphire

A Serious Man
Up
Up in the Air

This is the First time since 1943 that the Academy Awards has had 10 nominees. All the movies in this race are deserving of the nominations they received. The clear front runners for the awards are Avatar and The Hurt Locker. It has been a foot race between the 2 movies over the awards show season. Avatar won the Golden Globe for Best Picture and The Hurt Locker won the BAFTA and Critics Choice Award for Best Picture. I think it's going to go to The Hurt Locker, but Avatar is the highest grossing movie of all time and the academy voters might take that in to consideration. I don't think the controversy surrounding The Hurt Locker will hurt its chances, but it can. The other nominees in the category that have a chance to sneak up and take the big prize are Up in the Air, Precious: Based on the Novel "Push" by
Sapphire
and Inglourious Basterds. These movies all have the chance to win because they have won big Best Picture awards in other award shows. The only movie that I don't think should have been nominated was A Serious Man whom i serious think stole the nomination from The Hangover which is and was one of the best comedy movies ever made and one of the best movies of last year. So who will win, I think it will be The Hurt Locker as it should be too.

Who Should Win: The Hurt Locker
Who Will Win: The Hurt Locker
