Well, everyone as we get closer to the end of the year, you know what this means....AWARDS SEASON!!!! Yep, Hollywood's favorite time of the year is right around the corner. And OF COURSE there are already various movie critics and entertainment magazines, websites that have already called out the names of who THEY think might be walking away with the Golden Statue come Oscar night. It looks like Academy Awards 2012 might just be the year of the BIG NAME nominee. For Best Actor, the nominees may include: George Clooney(The Desendants),Brad Pitt(Moneyball),Leonardo DiCaprio(J. Edgar),Gary Oldman(Tinker,Tailor, Soldier, Spy),Matt Damon(We Bought a Zoo),Jean Dujardin(The Artist).
And for Best Actress: Meryl Streep (The Iron Lady),Michelle Williams(My Week With Marilyn),Glenn Close(Albert Nobbs),Rooney Mara(The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo),Charlize Theron(Young Adult),Jodie Foster(Carnage).
As for best Director, it looks like it might be a mixed bag of "old time" directors" teaming up with more unknown directors. Steven Spielberg (War Horse),Woody Allen(Midnight in Paris),Clint Eastwood(J. Edgar),Michel Hazanavicius(The Artist),Alexander Payne(The Descendants),George Clooney(The Ides of March).
And as for the most conveted Best Picture award....so far people seem to agree that The Artist and The Descendants will be a shoo-in for nominations.Some of the other very likely nominees will be:War Horse,Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close,Moneyball,J. Edgar,Midnight in Paris,And possibly,The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo,The Help.
Now readers I am sure that you haven't even heard of most of these films...DON"T WORRY. Most of them haven't even been released here in the US either! However according to the "current buzz" of the film, critics are saying that these are the forerunners.In my next article I will go into more depth on some of the nominees, so STAY TUNED!!!!
