My daughter, who is a self-professed expert :) ( who ever thought that 'film-studies' could earn you a degree ? ! ) says that Avatar is a shoo-in for best film, and that Sandra Bullock is an equal dead cert for best Actress.

Do you agree ? ... and what other predictions are there before the red carpet is trod ...
 
Probably right about Sandra, but there seems to be a backlash developing about Avatar, and a lot of the critics are saying The Hurt Locker may get Best Picture. Directed by James Cameron's ex-wife - ouch !
 
If she's doing film studies she should know that Avatar is by no means a shoo-in. Sandra is a bit of a safer bet though.
 
Oi ... that's my princess you're dismissing !

Let's wait till tonight shall we ... then we can say who was right or wrong in their predictions

Until then, it's anybody's guess :)
 
I'm doing Film Studies too (2nd year) and while i loved Avatar i reckon it will be either The Hurt Locker or Up In The Air that snags it (they would both deserve it too. Excellent films). I also think that Kathryn Bigelow will get Best Director seeing as the Oscars are trying to get high TV ratings this year (as evidenced by the increase to 10 BP noms) and her winning would be fairly special seeing as no woman has ever won Best Director.
 
If Avatar wins, it will be a joke of an Oscars. I really really want to see a woman win the Best Director Oscar. Fingers crossed.



I hope that was not a dig at Film Studies as a choice of degree...
 
Avatar will do well. hurt locker may in did be a good film but im sick of seeing war films about iraq and afghanistan. im sure im not the only one.
 
I would be over the moon if Carey Mulligan won Best Actress and Colin Firth won Best Actor.

Seriously I'd be thrilled lol
 
It is safe to say that Waltz, Bridges and Mo'Nique are certs, as is Bigelow for Director. The ones I am still slightly hesitant about are Best Actress and Best Picture, as the last few weeks has seen a slight shift in favour. I still ultimately feel that Bullock and Hurt Locker will triumph.
 
I'm looking forward to the Oscars tonight.

I am expecting The Hurt Locker to win Best Picture, and Up Best Animated Feature. Avatar should win special effects.
 
I want to know that too - I gather its on Sky Premier, but I dont have the Sky Movies package so was wanting to know if it'll be available on any other channel? Thanks..:)
 
I personally think The Hurt Locker will win Best Picture, but fingers crossed for Avatar.

I think if another barely seen by the cinema going public film wins the award it will be bad for the Oscars.

Also, it is The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and SCIENCES, so I don't think Avatar can be written off just yet.
