I wonder who is going to win?![]()
I'll be interested to see it double-hosted, and for the 10 nominees for Best Picture. Though I have sneaking suspicions (maybe not so sneaking, since critics everywhere have already predicted) that Avatar will inappropriately sweep. It takes more than special effects and epic proportions to make a quality film, and unfortunately I don't think emotion is taken into effect by the Academy as much as it used to be. Films like "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" are what a best picture-quality film should be like- not necessarily a bunch of blue people jumping all over the place. I don't know if anyone can say that "Avatar" carried more emotional impact than "Dances With Wolves", and that already won best picture once.
Sorry for my little rant, its just going to irritate me if it wins everything. I understand that it truly is an epic, and that it took Cameron god-knows how many years to complete, and there really is a lot to it, but Axl Rose isn't winning any Grammy's for Chinese Democracy, is he?
