Oscars Good Or Not ?

Hello everyone, it's been a while since i wrote anything for you. But as they say: "Better later then never". Two weeks passed since the oscar season. That's it 2009 Oscars are over, but the real question remains: Were 2008 movies nominated for the academy awards well choosen, are the oscars changing, are the oscar being liberated from the american movie machine business ?

I think yes, "The Academy Awards" are changing, say it's because of this new modern Era of the 7th Art, say it's because there are now less good american movies then there was before, say it's only some good movies which hit the cinema screens because there's no money for marketing and therefore those movies don't even are in nominated list. I just don't know, but one thing for sure, i think the Oscars are more liberally then ever before, "Slumdog Millionaire" is a pretty good example. English movie - YES but with a Indian background, actors, language, Asian culture. It was a very good bet who thought that Slumdog would win, i did. I don't say the Oscars should change but as the american constituion say, every person should be consider equal and my position is that the "Academy Awards" cerimony should be for all 7th Art industry mainstream and should get away more and more of the american/european productions and convert to a globally cerimony.

Talking of the Oscars delivered this year per si i had only one suprise actually. The Second academy award recognition for Sean Penn in his movie "Milk". I really thought Mickey Rourke would beat the competation that night. But he has time now that he "assumly" got on the right track again with his life and carrer. Sean Penn would be my second choice. Those who disagree with me and think that Brad Pitt should won, i have to tell you that he will when he gets more older.

Kate Winslet won uhhhhhhuhhhhhh, finally, come on she was deserving, 5 times nominated, give her a break, The Reader is a very good movie and very good interpretation given by Winslet. The postomous award to Heath Ledger was being expected too. He gave a very good performance and his death helped the movie a lot even if it's not a happy ending for an actor but it was a happy ending for his family to receive the award. Penelope Cruz won with no competition in my opinion. When i saw Vicky Cristina Barcelona i was expecting a nomination and For Barden too.

But the best moment of the night was definitly for "Slumdog Millionaire" who delivered 10 awards, including Best Director and Best Movie. I was expecting that too has it is the best movie of the year 100%. Thank you Warner for refusing to take the movie to the theaters and thank you Fox SearchLight for delivering the movie to the theaters and not directly to DVD. That would be a major loss to us all and the 7th Art.

In summing it was a medium 2008 season regardding to movies, Clint Eastwood hasn't competing in the major categories, but this is just my personal taste.

See you next year for more Oscars and see you soon for the new review of the movie "Platoon".

Good movies and keep enjoying the 7th Art as much as possible.
