Oscar Picks 2010

-
Everyone seems to agree that this is the easiest year ever to pick Oscars. The consensus is:

Best Picture: The Hurt Locker
Best Director: Kathryn Bigelow (for The Hurt Locker)
Best Actor: Jeff Bridges (for Crazy Heart)
Best Actress: Sandra Bullock (for The Blind Side)
Best Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz (for Inglorious Basterds)
Best Supporting Actress: Monique (for Precious)

I would love to see Avatar win Best Picture. Despite the fact that it's a big-budget blockbuster by a guy who everyone agrees is an ass, it is a beautiful, innovative movie. The Hurt Locker is good, but I think it will be forgotten in five years. Whereas I think people will still be watching Avatar in twenty.

I'm looking forward to Monique winning as well. I've rarely seen acting like that. She left it all on the floor, with not a spot of makeup, with every fat roll visible through the spandex, and as nasty a character as we've seen in a while. But a wholly believable one.
