Focusing on the major categories, here are this Blogger's picks for Oscar Night, starting with the actors:
BEST ACTOR
Nearly a no-brainer. Colin Firth (THE KING'S SPEECH) will take this one running away. His performance made me nervouse just watching him.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Not nearly as easy. The frontrunners clearly are Christian Bale (THE FIGHTER) and Geoffrey Rush (THE KING'S SPEECH). Both have victories in the awards season, and both performances are so outstanding they have to be seen to be believed. The Academy always loves older gentelmen, but they also tend to award folk who put themselves through physical transformation for a role. For this blogger it comes down to this: the world always knew Rush was a great actor. No one saw Bale's performance coming. Christian Bale it is.
BEST ACTRESS
Another no-brainer. Natalie Portman (BLACK SWAN) flies away with this.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
It's hard to ignore the acting in THE KING'S SPEECH. Helena Bonham Carter will finally get her due.
What say you?
