oscar predictions.

Well, just because I'm an Academy Award freak (I sort of have a database of passed winners in my head along with other super geeky facts about the Oscars), I thought it'd be funny to predict the outcome of Sunday night's big event. This is my list of who I THINK is going to win and (in brackets) who I WISH will win.

BEST PICTURE
The Social Network
(I didn't like this movie, it f*cking sucked, but since the Facebook guy became Man of the Year in Time Magazine, I reckon their useless movie about it will win. The real best movie of the year, and possibly of all time is, of course, Black Swan. No doubt.)

BEST ACTOR, LEADING ROLE
Colin Firth, The King's Speech
(He really deserves this, he was beyond amazing in The King's Speech.)

BEST ACTOR, SUPPORTING ROLE
Christian Bale
(I think that Bale will win because he's in a film about boxing, the Academy loves that shit. I really hope that Geoffrey Rush will win for The King's Speech however. The movie would have been nothing without him. He's also from Melbourne, which makes me wanna vote twice for him.)

BEST ACTRESS, LEADING ROLE
Natalie Portman
(Natalie Portman. No doubt. F*cking best performance I've seen in my life. If she doesn't win it's a scandal.)

BEST ACTRESS, SUPPORTING ROLE
Helena Bonham Carter
(This is a tough one, because there are two other nominees from a boxing movie in this category. But I think Carter will win because she's portraying an historic person, and of course she does it pretty damn well.)

BEST DIRECTING
David Fincher, The Social Network
(Bullshit movie, again, but critics seems to love it to bits and its topic is sooooo important, so of course Fincher will win. I hope of course that Darren Aronofsky will win for Black Swan.)

I think it's completely outragous by the way that The Social Network has been nominated in so many categories (Best original score? Are you f*cking kidding me?). If I haven't mentioned it enough, I'm just saying that the plot, idea and movie itself is stupidly pointless. It's a movie about Facebook, for crying out loud! Facebook is not the best invension of all time, people. It's a bloody website! It didn't have enough drama in real life to carry a big movie like this. I saw it at the movies and didn't understand what all the fuzz was about. I then saw it again at home, but then I liked it even less. The Social Network is a hype movie, which is why it will win. It's a motion picture landmark of what was talked about in 2010. But that doesn't make it a good movie. A good movie, in my opinion, is a movie that stays with you, that makes you think. I've seen two movies this year that has left me with this; Black Swan and The King's Speech. They deserve to win, not an unnecessary movie about Facebook.

If you ever wondered how you go about winning an oscar, just watch this trailer. The Social Network has used a lot of these things and actually reminded me a lot about it.
