Side not: Duncan Jones was a welcome site, as his work was one of my favorites this year.
ReplyDeleteThat is to say, side note...
ReplyDeleteColin Firth winning is a nice change of pace, but I still think Bridges will take the Oscar. Mark Boal's win following the WGA also says something as well. It's a tight race between him and Tarantino.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. The Hurt Locker got a bit stronger, Actress showed that Streep isn't likely to win, and Original Screenplay will be a close one, that's pretty much what we learned.
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying Christoph Waltz's speeches this year, and look forward to hearing another one in a couple weeks.
ReplyDelete-Robbie
The smart money says that you will.
ReplyDeleteI said it a few weeks ago, I'm still calling the upset for Firth. He's taken the last 3-4 awards in a row. I sense a late push for him...
ReplyDeleteI know, I know. It doesn't make sense. It totally feels right, though.
I wouldn't expect it to happen, as BAFTA especially went hometown with both of its acting awards as a kind of "we know you won't win across the pond, so here, have this" kind of thing, but hey, stranger things have happened.
ReplyDeleteDammit, I really hope that Mark Boal doesn't win the writing award...
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know in exactly 2 weeks, around this time...deal?
ReplyDeleteI am kind of starting to worry for Tarantino for script, I hope will win the oscar for script, not Boal. I can agree that The Hurt Locker script was good too, but was it as good as Inglorious Basterds? In my opinion, no.
ReplyDeleteAs good as Avatar was, glad to see it not dominating everything in sight. It'll win a few Oscars, but Hurt Locker will (should) take Picture & Director.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joey, I'll be sure to check back then, lol
ReplyDeleteWhat did the Baftas tell us this year?
ReplyDelete- Hurt Locker has won Best Picture.
- Bigelow will win Director for sure now.
- Mulligan and Firth are possible upsets.
- A Prophet will probably suprise Foreign Film.
- Mark Boal will win Original Writing.
- Tarantino's chances are now VERY slim.
The only confusing thing is Mulligan and Firth. With both winning, Mulligan's chances have been hurt by what will now will be percieved as rewarding local talent instead of a late surge vote. However, Firth gave a great speech. One can't help but wonder, what would his Oscar speech be like? Is this a late surprise OR was it really just local talent being rewarded? Hard to know.
In the case of Firth, yes, it's just a local embrace. Mulligan most likely too, but she could be the big upset winner of the night.
