Oscar 2011 batles - who will win the war of the awards race: PART III

BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY
There's an interesting fight: Inception Vs The King's Speech Vs The Kids Are All Right.
While most people say that it's all between David Seidler and Christopher Nolan, I must say that Lisa Cholodenko and Stuart Blumberg must be in contention to take the Oscar home. Let's see the things this way: we have The King's Speech, a movie with Best Picture potential; we have Inception, a dazzling movie and extremly smart sci-fi movie written by Christopher Nolan who was unfairly snubed in the Best Director category; we have The Kids Are All Right, a smart comedy-drama with really good lines, good story, good characters and important themes about family;
Well, I must admit that the biggest contenders are Inception and The King's Speech and one of them will win the Best Original Screenplay Oscar, and, in spite of thinking that Inception SHOULD win, The King's Speech will take the prize home because of being the favorite in the Best Picture race.

BEST ORIGINAL SCORE

We have a Inception Vs The Social Network battle here. While Hans Zimmer's score for Inception is something GREAT/FANTASTIC, completly Oscar-worthy, Reznor's work for The Social Network is not so "BIG" but it gives a lot of emotional depht to the movie scenes.

There are two kinds of scores battling for the Oscar this year: an alternative one, that connects with the emotions of the movie in a very subtle way; and one epic work that makes the movie dazzling!

But are completly Oscar-worthy and I like them both. Inception may win one more artistic/technical category and stay away from the big ones or The Social Network may be the boy of the eyes of the Academy and score as much prizes as it deserves...

It's an almost unpredictable category, but I can't forget that TSN won the Critics' Choice Award and the Golden Globe of Best Score (but didn't get a BAFTA nomination) and Inception won the BAFTA of Best Sound (the equivalent of Best Score) and it was nominated for the Golden Globe and the Critics' Choice Award of the same category. Such a difficult decision!...

my next post will be my winner predictions of the Oscars 2011, come here and have a look at 20th February...

TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today - 2017

The almost annual TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today is out, with me considering the performers' performances of 2016 also. We have a few changes since last year's list, with Greta Gerwig toping the list thanks to her last 3 great performances in Mistress America , Maggie's Plan and the Oscar buzzy acting turn in 20th Century Women . Scarlett Johansson comes second with her latest distinguished performance being in 2014 ( Under the Skin ), but she managed to be at the spotligh this year thanks to her fine turns in critically acclaimed movies: Hail, Caesar! , Captain America: Civil War , The Jungle Book (voice) and Sing (voice). Emily Blunt adds another great performance to her resume in The Girl on the Train and she comes third, while Elle Fanning 's turning into one of the finest actresses and she's getting to play more adult and complex parts like The Neon Demon and 20th Century Women 's (her two best performances since Super 8 ).

TOP 10 Most Promising Movie Actors (under 30)

Today I discussed about how awful some "teen icons" are and then we talked about some exceptions. So, I decided to make a little list, a TOP 10, with the male actors that I think that will become music in an ocean of noise somewhere in the future (I did one list before, but it was a little bit pathetic and I didn't justify my choices). Let's start... 1 - Ryan Gosling He may not have a huge list of movies in his body of work, but the few times he makes something, all the time he almost carries the movie. In fact, Gosling is a proof that talent does exist and that you don't need excentrical characters to receive raves. He rose to fame after the big screen adaptation of The Notebook (2004) and then received lots of critical praise for his performances in movies like Half Nelson (that gave him an Oscar, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations), Lars and the Real Girl (that gave him a Golden Globe, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations) and Fractur

TOP 35 Actors and Actresses with or under 35 years old: 2018

I think it was my TOP 35 under 35 list I've ever done since I remember: so many great performers emerged last year with distinguished performances that elevated their previous works (I'm talking about Elizabeth Olsen , Lucas Hedges , Robert Pattinson , Gaspard Ulliel , Tessa Thompson or Jamie Bell , for example). I'm kinda sad I felt "forced" at letting Jonah Hill ( Moneyball and The Wolf of Wall Street ) and Emma Watson ( The Perks of Being a Wallflower , The Bling Ring and 2017's Beauty and the Beast ) out of the list. Congratulations to Kirsten Dunst , who turned 35 last year so she can not be included in this year's list - such an amazing child actress turned movie star, who delivered memorable performances in Interview with the Vampire (1994), The Virgin Suicides (1999), The Cat's Meow (2002) or Melancholia (2011). This year, Saoirse Ronan tops the list thanks to two great performances: On Chesil Beach and an iconic acting turn in Lad
