After weeks of the adrenalin build up, we've had the Golden Globes and the BAFTA's, the excitement is doing double time, as the Oscars finally are nigh!....
I must say, what an amazing year for film it has been so far, when I look at the nomination list for the 81st Annual Academy Awards, the panel have a remarkably tough one on their hands.
Being British, I'm obviously going to be biased and hope that Slumdog gets a good going on the night. Not only that, but it's just such an amazing film that it has become a cult classic for my personal collection already. I really hope that their winning streak pursues through till tomorrow night, but then again with 10 nominations in 9 different categories, I reckon they've got a good chance.
I also really hope that the late Heath Ledger wins a posthumous Oscar for his role in the Dark Knight, his portrayal of the Joker is one, which I feel, will last with the audience for a long time to come, he has made the character almost timeless with his presence.
I guess apart from that, everyone is a winner, as all the movies honoured with a nomination are just spectacular peices of work.
Although...just a little slip in for Mickey, gosh I love that guy! His acceptance speech at the BAFTA's was utterly hi-larious. What an achievement it would be for him to win an Oscar and show that he's not ready to kick it yet.
Goddd, also looking forward to the red carpet, (who wouldn't be!?).....hmmm, the gowns, the styles, whos going to wear the statement dress of the evening, who's going to get it wrong. We all know it'll make or break the 'ones to watch' style icons of 2009.
So while the A-listers are being pricked and pruned to perfection, we can just sit back and enjoy the night.
Till the next post Lipsync-ers
