Reviews, ruminations, ramblings, and reminisces about the movies. New for 2020 - The Year in Movies. Every few days I will post about a year in movie history and then post my favorite movie from that year.

Countdown to Oscar Night: Best Original Screenplay
Nominees:
Amour
Django Unchained
Flight
Moonrise Kingdom
Zero Dark Thirty
I know, I really need to see Amour. It's totally sitting on my computers hard drive. It doesn't get much more diverse than this category. As much as I would love to see Moonrise Kingdom take home an Oscar, I think this is a two horse race between Academy-darling Tarantino and Amour. I think this will be the best non-Foreign language place to award Amour. As long as Zero Dark Thirty wins nothing I'm happy.
My Ballot:
Moonrise Kingdom
Django Unchained
Flight
Zero Dark Thirty
My Pick to Win:
Amour
Shoulda Been Here:
Ruby Sparks

I'd go with FLIGHT here being that I think it WILL win, DJANGO UNCHAINED should win but because of the controversy it probably won't be considered.
ReplyDeleteNo way Flight wins. No one is going to think back on that movie and remember ANY dialogue. The real travesty is Denzel is getting all of the acting love and no one noticed the completely scene-stealing performance by John Goodman.
ReplyDeleteI did, told you so long before you even saw the film. Not that I get to vote on these things. Screenplays ain't all about the dialogue, dude, but I won't pick a movie I haven't seen to win, that's for sure.
