I would like to see Matt Damon win this Oscar, but from all I have read it looks like Christopher Waltz's to lose. If you haven't seen "Invictus" or "Inglorious Basterds" yet, you need to do so, you will see what I mean. All of actors and actresses nominated this year are in great company, and the winners should be a surprise to all.

;D

Hi! dvdjunkie,
I recently purchase Inglorious Basterd just to check-out actor Christoph Waltz...performance for myself, (this weekend) but I have to admit (even though they aren't the last word) my fellow bloggers, are placing the odds against the other four nominated actors out there in the blogosphere.

According to my fellow bloggers actor Christoph Waltz, just about have the Oscar@ in hand and ready to be placed on his mantle.

Personally, I have my doubts I think that it going to be a very "tight "race Oscar race this year too!

I know for some people it isn't possible to see a lot of the movies out there in the cinema. But when the Oscar nominations come out, it seems I have been lucky enough to see most of them, and the others I sometimes make it a point to see, while others I just don't bother.

The movies on top of my "Must See" list include: "Inglorious Basterds", "The Blind Side", "Precious", "Avatar" and "Up In The Air". Those movies are just wonderful entertainment and show why movies are still strong at the box office today.

People who tell me they would rather sit at home and watch television, are just not true movie buffs. I love all the classic movies, and think that some of us are passing up a chance to see a 'future' classic movie when we don't see a film in the cinema.

;D

I have to second the notion and say that you are very lucky to be able to view the films that are nominated for Oscars@ this year on the big screen.

Oh! now, I'am "hip" to your "user" name ;D...but, as I was saying...I agree it's a good thing to try to make it to the theatre...once in awhile to watch films on the big screen, but I suffer with terrible headaches in the dark with the light flickering from the screen.

Therefore, I usually end up purchasing the film(s) and watching them on television. But, believe me you aren't alone...because I'am a member (staff member or team member) on a blogsite and believe me all the men (and some women) who post on that blog... do is eat, drink, and talk film 24/7...Well, sometimes twenty-four seven.
