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!...

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 ).

Now that the Fall film festival has passed, it's time to make some changes in the Oscar predictions charts: La bola negra is on a winning strike taking home the TIFF's People Choice Award; The movies I Play Rocky and Elsinore revealed themselves as huge crowd-pleasers and can be extremely viable Best Picture candidates; Neon's has found its big Oscar player (Luca Guadagnino's Artificial ) and Paper Tiger got more enthusiastic word from New York and London; the unexpected A24's documentary You Can See Everything is (currently) the most well-reviewed movie of the year and it's on track to become a truly unexpected box-office hit; Lee Chang-dong's Possible Love entered Best International Film race and it can have nice shots in screenplay and directing (according to reviews), suprassing the buzz of early favorites All of a Sudden and Fjord ; Digger is a bomb and not a promising Oscar vehicle; Sense and Sensibility is doing well with critics and it is project...
