Well, my vote goes to Leonardo Dicaprio in Shutter Island, great movie with great representation. For best actriss, Natalie Portman in Black Swan. This two movies were the best I saw in 2010.
I really hope that it's Colin Firth, but I have a feeling that James Franco might take it home. As long as The Tourist doesn't win for anything, I'll be happy.
The one that the voters believe can make the most tear jerking, pretentious speech.
While I loved The Social Network, particularly Jesse Eisenburg, I think JT stole the show with that one, but not to Oscar worthy potential. I was set to back Javier Bardem in 'Buitful' despite thinking that he deserved an Oscar sooner than now....but I saw 'The King's Speech' yesterday and I was ASTOUNDED with Colin Firth. Truly increbile, especially since I am really not the greatest Firth fan.
The portrayal was marvelous, a true step out of bounds and how he managed to act the stammer is beyond me. Well worth seeing, I highly recommend it, and I think the Academy will too.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
