The Oscars - My Guess
 

Best Picture: The Hurt Locker

Actor in a Leading Role: Jeff Bridges

Actress in a Leading Role: Sandra Bullock

Directing: The Hurt Locker

Jeff Bridges is one of the best actors NEVER to win an Oscar.
I hope he pulls through for Crazy Heart.

Sandra Bullock. My vote for Best Actress, hands down.

Jet,

I agree with you about Jeff B. I still have no clue as to why he never won. He is so gifted and talented.

I really enjoyed Inglorious Basterds.

I have not seen many of the other films, which shocks me....by this time I usually have.

i have only seen District 9, The Hurt Locker, Inglorious Basterds, and Precious.

i would vote for The Hurt Locker. i was actually bored by District 9. i liked the other two, but not as much as The Hurt Locker. It gave me a view inside a world i did not know about, one we all need to know about. So well done.

i have not seen the movies that Jeff Bridges or Sandra Bullock are in, but i like them both a lot. They have certainly paid their dues as well -- given a lot of good performances over the years. i hope they get it.

I love the night of the Oscars.

What people wear, how the set is designed, the musical numbers, just the whole thing.

I wish we could all watch them together. :)

a single man and precious

we both hated avatar --the special effects were special, but the movie was crap.

so many haven't even heard of this film...

Poll Fix
 

I've requested a Poll Fix for 10 Best Picture Nominees, not 7. (Don't ask)
We'll see of Linus works his magic shortly.

The Best Picture category should read as follows

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

feel free to share your voice on these until we can get the poll fixed.

Thanks and sorry for the shoddy cut and paste job

I have to confess i have not seen Avatar. I probably will never see Avatar, but if I do, it will only be because of Sigourney Weaver. I don't even know how large her role is in that movie. I'm just not a fan of the genre and all that shit flying around. My 02.

Behind the scenes look at Avatar

This is interesting:
