While it seems like this year's Oscars JUST happened, people are already buzzing about who's going to be nominated for the 2009 awards. The fall/winter season is promising a slew of movies that seem like they could secure a nomination or two, so I want to know, who do you think is going to get an Oscar nod?
Tell No One
I absolutely loved this French thriller. I thought the acting and direction were great, and the music and cinematography were well-done as well. After I saw it I could hardly believe that the movie was adapted from a novel set in New Jersey. They made the whole thing seem totally utterly French. I’d love to see this movie get nominated for Best Foreign Film or Best Adapted Screenplay.
Tell No One
Francois Cluzet in “Tell No One.”
Frozen River
This aptly titled movie is chilling to the bone. The stark scenery and Melissa’s Leo performance are equally impressive. While this wasn’t a widely talked about movie, I could definitely see Leo getting a nomination for Best Actress. Even better, it would be great to see Courtney Hunt nominated for Best Director (that category has been male-dominated for too long).
Frozen River
Melissa Leo in “Frozen River.”
The Dark Knight
There’s one word to describe this movie and that’s INTENSE. Everything about it was dark and twisty, and it pretty much kept you on the edge of your seat for about 2 hours. While I think everyone in this movie did extremely well in the acting department, you have to admit that Ledger took things a step farther than anyone else. His performance as the Joker was both hypnotizing and horrifying; he easily managed to steal every scene he was in. I’m definitely not the first one to say it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Ledger was nominated for a posthumous Best Actor Oscar.
The Dark Knight
Heath Ledger in “The Dark Knight. “
Eddie Murphy is the only man who can make me laugh, cry and want to go emo on my wrists all at the same time. Bravo sir!
