I’m really not too exercised about tonight’s Oscars because I trust that it will a good night for my favorites among the nominated films: The Artist and The Descendants. Most of the nominations are relatively deserved, so it’s not like two years ago, when I was gnashing my teeth over the battle between The Hurt Locker (my fave) and Avatar (NOT my fave).
I am really rooting for Michele Williams to win the Best Actress Oscar. Her performance is deserving, and she warrants recognition as the best of our younger actresses – and one who bravely picks quality scripts (Brokeback Mountain, Wendy and Lucy, Blue Valentine).
If you’re betting, the three biggest locks are Christopher Plummer for Supporting Actor, Rango for Animated Feature and A Separation for Foreign Language Picture.
