Hi. This is me again….This week I’ll give you my analysis of the Oscars- the Academy Awards. The Oscars have always been special- controversial, grand and even most watched!! So, here is my take on this year’s Oscars

Best Picture

It was quite difficult. With ‘Atonement’ winning every ‘Best Picture’ at other award shows, it was the clear frontrunner. However, when the movie wasn’t nominated for Best Director, it was almost clear that the Academy wasn’t keen to award this film. Gone are the days when ‘Driving Miss Daisy’ won the Best Picture without being nominated for Best Director. ‘No Country for Old Men’ is a great film. But not the greatest Best Picture. Some other movies could’ve been nominated like American Gangster or Charlie Wilson’s War. I was betting for ‘Juno’ a soft comedy with a very deep meaning. However, I am happy for the Coen Bros.

Winner- No Country for Old Men

Deserves- Juno

Best Director

The Coens deserved this one, without a doubt. Everything was perfect- from the acting to camera work. Watch out people, the Coens have arrived.

Winner- Joel and Ethan Coen, No Country for Old Men

Deserves- Joel and Ethan Coen, No Country for Old Men

Best Actor

Daniel Day-Lewis, Daniel Day-Lewis and Daniel Day-Lewis!! His performance has been the greatest performance by an actor this year. He was the USP of ‘There will be Blood’. My second choice would’ve been Viggo Mortensen. His transformation has been great- from Aragorn in ‘Lord of The Rings’ to Nikolai Luzhin in ‘Eastern Promises’. However, Lewis eclipsed everyone. His performance of a greedy oil businessman is his greatest till date.

Winner- Daniel Day-Lewis, There will be Blood

Deserves- Daniel Day-Lewis, There will be Blood

Best Actress

This was quite surprising. I thought Julie Christie was the clear winner in this one. However, the Academy decided to award Marion Cotillard for her portrayal as Edith Piaf in ‘la Vie en Rose’. To be honest, the role was easy. Anyone could’ve done it- well , not everyone . But Julie Christie’s performance was better. I would’ve have accepted Ellen Page as Best Actress in ‘Juno’. But Cotillard didn’t deserve.

Winner- Marion Cotillard, La Vie En Rose

Deserves- Julie Christie, Away from Her
