The Oscar 10

Friday, June 26th, 2009

By now you’ve heard that next year’s Oscars will allow 10 nominees for best picture. Regardless if this ends up being a good idea or bad idea, we are half way through the year so we should have at least one contender, right? As I’ve seen 42 theatrical releases this year, I will suggest three possible contenders.

Of the movies I’ve seen this year, my three Oscar hopefuls are:

  • Up – Because it’s about time Pixar gets a nod.
  • Star Trek – I don’t think we will see a better big budget action flick this year.
  • Due to my NDA I can’t say anything (yet) but this movie comes out this summer and I think you’ll like this one.
  • BTW, it was much harder to pick three possibilities than I originally imagined.

    On a tangent, it’s been one hell of a week for celebrity deaths. We lost Ed McMahon who gave us this awesome point of reference.

    We lost Farrah Fawcett who advanced mainstream cheesecake (as well as many a young boy’s adolescence) thanks to this poster.

    And finally we lost the King of Pop who, as a friend said, gave us dance moves you can quote. Here’s a video directed by my man Marty.
