2010 Oscars!

If Christoph Waltz doesn't win BSA, I'll be shocked.

I'm hoping that Coraline wins over 9 and Up.

9 isn't nominated in Best Animation.

That will be Bruno Delbonnel. He worked on the wonderful French films Amelie, and A Very Long Engagement also.

I'd rather see the guy who is nominated for his work on the cinematography for Inglorious Basterds win, some of the shots and so on in IG were absolutely sublime.

It's an absolute disgrace that the Road wasn't nominated for best cinematography. It's the only thing about the film that was truly astounding and far better and more memorable than anything else i've seen this year.

In fact I don't think it got a single nomination for anything.

Silly me. 😛

My prediction Avatar will win 5-6 awards. But the best actor will be Jeff Bridges - Crazy Heart . I am sure about that.

Waltz's is gonna win best supporting actor.

FILM EDITING:
Definitely IG. It was genius editing.

It's an absolute disgrace that the Road wasn't nominated for best cinematography. It's the only thing about the film that was truly astounding and far better and more memorable than anything else i've seen this year.

I've yet to see The Road, so can't comment on the cinematography. Still must see it!!

Get it sorted out, woman.

Have any of you people seen An Education? No much hype for that film....so I'm curious.

Yes....Acting is good...Definately a film for the budding paedophile.

Carey Mulligan would get nailed in her schoolgirl outfit something fierce...

Carey Mulligan? that sounds familiar....Bleak House, right?

Anywhoo...I need to rent some of these nominated movies.

Never watched Bleak House. Not my cup of tea.

She was also in a well received episode of Dr Who, and that's one reason people think she will win the BAFTA award for rising star, all the Doctor Who fans voting for her. Ah but she is up against Twilight woman too.

Yet to see An Education, is she worthy of an Oscar Jaden compared to the others in the nominations?

Hmmm...I haven't seen any of the other performances in best actress in a leading role so I can't say. I personally didn't really like the film but I could appreciate her acting was decent. Some of her tantrums in the film seemed a bit unconvincing though.

Coraline was a wonderfully animated film. I just so wish that it would have been more like the book.

The novel of Coraline was genuinely creepy. Awesome, awesome story by Niel Gaiman.

Still, I hope that Coraline wins for best animation.

I haven't read the stuff it's based on but I adored Coraline, and really quite creepy. Love it. I'd like Up, or Coraline to win.

I urge you to read the novel.

It's ten times better than the film. ✅

If it's a graphic novel then I'm not interested. Not a fan. 😛

Well Its quiet difficult to nominate any one movie for the Oscars so my list says following movie are best for winning the Oscar:

Avatar
District 9
Precious
Up
