Oscars are just around the corner. . .

Three days and counting the Oscars are almost here and I can't wait! I look forward to the Oscars every year and am excited to see the winners for 2010. My goal, though I don't usually reach it, is to watch all of the nominated films. With barely no budget and no time, I was only able to see a few of the bigger ones. Like everyone in the world I saw Avatar and loved it. But as of today I finished watching Inglourious Basterds, which was awesome! I was quite surprised by this movie, going into it I knew the basic idea of the film but as I soon learned I did not know as much as I thought. A film by Quentin Tarantino, I automatically knew there would be a lot of bloodshed. But the beauty of the film were the angled shots, the brilliant colors and most importantly the language used. I was in awe of how Tarantino used these to create a movie that gave a message but also gave off a gorgeous image. To decide whether Avatar or Inglourious Basterds will win the best picture academy award is one tough call. But both are very worthy of the award. I am so indecisive about who the winner should be that I will accept either one of the two as the winner of the biggest award Sunday night.
