Earlier today, the Oscars
nominations were announced. If you are a movie fan or an actor or
actress, you know how important the Oscars nominations and wins are.
Hollywood[ a better home of movie industry] lives and breath Oscars. A
successful career isn’t complete without a golden statute in hand with a
thankful [and sometime tearful] speech before peers and fans and
insiders.
I am an amid movie/films
enthusiast. I enjoy watching a good movie. And for years I have been
pretty good at nominating and awarding my own “Oscars”. This
year,however, I think I got one movie wrong [if people at the Academy]
are to be relied. I thought Forest Whitaker deserved a nomination for
his performance in Lee Daniels‘ movie The Butler.
That didn’t happen. I had a feeling Idris Elba wouldn’t be nominated
for anything much from his performance in Nelson Mandela: Long Walk To
Freedom and I will tell you why. Although Mandela’s story is so unique
and interesting, I thought I saw Idris Elba throughout the movie.I
didn’t see “Mandela” at all. To me that wasn’t good enough.Sorry.
On the other side, I am
happy that 12 Years A Slave got what it deserved. It is an amazing [too
bitter to swallow] movie on historical piece of slavery in America. Chiwetel Ejiofor did one of the best jobs. Lupita Nyong’o was
exceptional. That has paid off as she is not only among nominees but
has since then graced a lot of magazine covers as she perfectly blends
acting, beauty and fashion. Then there is Barkad Abdi from his
performance in Captain PhiLlips. If you haven’t seen this movie, I highly recommend you do so as soon as possible.
This year’s Oscar Awards will be handed out at March 2 at the Dolby Theatre and telecast live by ABC, in a ceremony hosted by Ellen Degeneres.
