Need some early help with your 2011 Oscars office pool? Tuesday Night Movies is here to help! All I ask is for a 10% cut.
Best Picture:
Out of the 10 Best Picture nominees, I have seen 9. I would like to see The Kids Are All Right before the Oscars are handed out, but I don’t think seeing it will change my pick here.
Should Win: Toy Story 3
Will Win: True Grit
Actor:
It’s a tough call between Jeff Bridges, Jesse Eisenberg and Colin Firth. As great as Jesse Eisenberg was with his quick talking monotone with his potrayal of Mark Zuckerberg, I’m going with…
Jeff Bridges, True Grit
Actress:
Natalie Portman, Black Swan
Supporting Actor:
Christian Bale, The Fighter
Supporting Actress:
Melissa Leo, The Fighter
Director:
This was the hardest category for me to choose a winner. I could see any of the nominees taking this one. I’m picking…
Joel & Ethan Cohen, True Grit
Animated Feature:
Toy Story 3
Adapted Screenplay:
The Social Network
Original Screenplay:
Inception
Best Foreign Language Film:
I actually didn’t see any of these. Not surprisingly, Mademoiselle Chambon didn’t make the list of nominees. I’m going to try to watch these between now and Oscar time.
Nominees I Have Not Seen Yet: The Kids Are All Right, The Illusionist, Blue Valentine, Rabbit Hole, Animal Kingdom, Another Year, Biutiful, Dogtooth, A Better World, Incendies, Outside the Law
My picks (these are what I think will win, not should win):
Best Picture: Social Network (althoug Kings Speech is rallying)
Best Actor: Colin Firth – a lock
Best Actress: Portman – also a lock
Sup Actor: Bale – pretty much a lock
Sup Actress: Melissa Leo
Best Director: David Fincher
Orig Screenplay: while I want Inceptiopn I think it will be Kings Speech
Adapted: Social Network
