Now the New Golden Globe Nominations is all in today, can Meryl Streep Receive more nomination seems like the theme this year.
And to tell the truth, the writer will have a thrill on this one. But Meryl Streep, need anyone to say more. It is in my opinion about time that she got another Oscar for female lead this year if I can have my way with it.
One huge surprise from the nomination is the first Nominated Best Pic for the year. Avatar?! It’s just came up this week, how is it possible to reach nomination so fast? People are still debating whether the Special Effects is good or bad. Well, maybe the name of James Cameron is enough to bring it. For a Graphically heavy action movie to get a Best Drama Nod, this is a first, and the main characters are mostly CGI. Maybe the animation can become a best actor too.
I am somewhat voting on Precious to take home the awards this year, seeing that it is the winner in Sundance. And How does Inglorious Basterds consider a Drama instead of Comedy?
As for Best Female, I love the facts that a new comer like Gabourey Sidibe(Precious)would compete with the winner, Helen Mirren(The Last Station), the Most likely Sandra Bullock(Blind Side) and the New and Always original, Emily Blunt (The Young Victoria). The Best Drama Female will have the best Drama this year.
As for the Best male lead….. the fight is a bit below the mark, Jeff Bridges, George Clooney and Colin Firth Vs Morgan Freeman and Tobey Maguire. The fame Clan, versus the Effort Clan. Morgan Freeman, the Best ever to play Nelson Mandela, and Tobey…. Look at the face and the body, can any actor seems more dedicated to his work this year?
As for the Best Comedy, you got the edgy and original type, (500) Days of Summer, the No Brainer Blockbuster Type, The Hangover, the lighthearted love story type, It’s Complicated, the Classic, Julie & Julia and the MUSICAL, say more Oscar,……. Nine?
This will be an interesting indication what Comedy truly is the king of the Humor world, when everyone of them is as entertaining as anything you can get. It even up stage the Best Drama this year.
So best Female in Comedy….. will there be a 2 win for Sandra Bullock? Or which type Meryl will win(….. Julie & Julia)? Or…. Let the fight of the Oscar begin, Julia Roberts and Marion Cotillard and Meryl Streep. Sandra is the only none Oscar Best Female in the category, so will she be next?
As for the Best Support by a female…. I’m betting everything on Mo’nique (Precious), I just couldn’t see anything can top that. Yes Penelope is great in Nine and Beautiful. As Dreamgirls say, Penelope has always been beautiful but Mo’nique got the Chop. HAHA!
As for best Screenplay, I’d love to see District 9 got the nod. For it is one of the most original Screenplay I’ve ever seen in years. It’s not the most feel good movie ever, but it has meat.
This year, I actually think that Pixar might lose it’s trophy to one of the animation.
On the TV world, I vote…. True Blood for Best Drama (but most like Big Love would be the one to win), Glenn Close for Best Female, Simon Baker is about time to be recognize to bring Mentalist to life, Do you hear Tina Fay and Alec Baldwin again? Or will David Duchovny finally get away with it and Edie Falco come back in a big way, or the most earning new Series of the year Glee be winning every one of them including Best Comedy? Or would a cougar hold the trophy? Well, actually the TV Mini Series have even more to be hype for than the full-length series (some actually didn’t even make the full season and could be called mini-series too haha!) my bet is on “a Garden” and “the Storm”.
