The Oscars are next Sunday on ABC.
With only a week to go, the fight for the golden statue is becoming clearer. Here is how I see the races as we hit the final stretch. I also will be posting all Oscar related topics all week long.
BEST PICTURE:
This two horse race is even tighter than before. Hard to say which has the edge, between The King’s Speech and The Social Network. Two completely different films. One about the past, while the other is very much in the present. All I know is, the other eight films don’t have a chance.
BEST DIRECTOR:
If Tom Hooper was a little more well known, he might have this locked up for The King’s Speech. I still think this is David Fincher’s to win, even if The Social Network fails to win Best Picture.
BEST ACTOR:
Firth. Firth. Firth. Or should I say F-F-Firth. Colin Firth, for The King’s Speech, is the lock of all locks come Oscar night. The other four actors are fighting it for 2nd place.
BEST ACTRESS:
It would be a major upset if Natalie Portman doesn’t win for Black Swan. Having said that, Annette Bening still has a pulse in this race. Portman for the win, but don’t be shocked if the classy vet actress wins for her role in The Kids Are All Right.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR:
Christian Bale was fantastic as Mark Wahlberg’s brother in The Fighter. 90% chance he wins, but the 10% for the remaining field is only because Bale can tend to be unpopular for his behavior.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS:
I thought this was a lock two weeks ago. Melissa Leo, like Firth/Portman/Bale, has been sweeping the awards. The Fighter actress has come under fire recently for openly campaigning to win the gold statue. She is still favored, but no longer a lock.
