- On Rotten Tomatoes, the top 4 rated films of the year:
1. Once: Standing at a staggering 97% all year, AwardsDaily's Sasha Stone still believes this could make the Best Picture cut at the end of the year. A lot more critics out there foresee the Original Screenplay nomination.
2. Ratatouille: A very strong 96%, this has been said to be the Best Pixar film ever. A definite frontrunner in the Animated race and a possible threat in Screenplay.
3. Hairspray: Holding strong at 93%, this film has fallen off the radar. The buzz for John Travolta has nearly died out and Michelle Pfeiffer only stays barely afloat due to a extremely weak category and still can't seem to break into the top five. Some technical nods could be in its future, but this suffers from an early release date big time. It needs a resurrection at the Globes but that doesn't even guarantee anything. (See: Dreamgirls)
4. The Bourne Ultimatium: A very impressive 93%, this is easily the best of the trilogy. A great action-flick but no real contention in any category. Maybe a tech or two but will likely go down as one of the greatest action films of the 21st century that got ignored.

Away From Her has 96%
ReplyDeleteOnce is without question the best movie of the year, but will sadly be over looked
ReplyDeleteHairspray really deserves awards attention. Far better than Chicago and Dreamgirls
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think Hairspray's buzz and popularity within AMPAS will surprise many people by the end of the year.
ReplyDeleteIt really sucks that I still haven't seen any of 'em. :(
ReplyDeleteThat said, beyond Ratatouille's assured O. Screenplay nom and Animated Film win, and Hairspray's possible artistic and tech noms, I don't really see anything for them. Not even Once, which could sneak in somwhere though.
Once could get a wrting nod or original song nod, Bourne Ultimatuim doesn't stand any chance, Hairspray's buzz has decreased but almost everyone loved the film but i do know it was not better than Dreamgirls or Chicago, Ratatouille's only real competition is Persepolis but is locked for a writing nomination...
ReplyDeleteAll these films are good, but not that great, there are better.
