Oscar 2008 - pe cine preferati vs. cine o sa iasa...

Luni, 25.02.2008, incepand cu ora 03:30, ora Romaniei, puteti urmari pe HBO in direct decernarea premiilor Oscar.

Pentur ca cea de-a 80-a editie se apropie cu pasi repezi, ma grabesc si eu sa-mi aleg favoritii...

BEST ANIMATED FEATURE FILM

[ ] Persepolis
[X] Ratatouille
[ ] Surf's Up

I loved it! Rataouille MERITA DIN PLIN sa iasa castigator. Persepolis NU a fost rau deloc, din contra... Insa Surf's Up NU merita nici macar nominalizarea... Ar fi trebuit sa fie Simpsons - The Movie sau Meet the Robinsons.


BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM

[X] 12 (Russia)
[ ] Beaufort (Israel)
[ ] Die Fälscher; or, The Counterfeiters (Austria)
[ ] Katyn (Poland)
[ ] Mongol (Kazakhstan)

Sunt foarte dezamagit ca 4 luni, 3 saptamani si 2 zile nu a fost nici macar nominalizat... Alt defavorizat: Persepolis. Asta dupa ce francezii au facut greseala si nu au trimis pentru selectia la aceasta categorie un alt film care cu siguranta ar fi castigat: Le Scaphandre et le papillon; or, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly... Chiar si asa consider ca Mongol este un filme deosebit, insa... tot alt film o sa iasa... Votez cu 12... Pentru cine NU stie culisele procesului de selectie a nominalizatilor la Oscar, atunci TREBUIE sa cititi aici. Asa o sa va dati seama de ce nu au fost nominalizate de-a lungul timpului anumite filme la premiul pentru cel mai bun film de ex. . Consider ca acest proces greoi, demodat si nefiabil trebuie schimbat de la radacini, altfel vor mai fi si alte surprize neplacute pe viitor...

BEST FEATURE DOCUMENTARY

[ ] No End in Sight
[ ] Operation Homecoming: Writing the Wartime Experience
