| BEST DIRECTOR
"The Tree of Life" Terrence Malick
Legendary filmmaker, Terrence Malick deserves to win the Oscar for "best director." He has made some of the best films ever made in Hollywood. "Midnight in Paris" Woody Allen
This is one of Woody's best films. It's what he dreamed about all his life of becoming, but never did -- a romantic hero. Owen Wilson played the role of a lifetime as Woody. He should have really been nominated. "The Artist" Michel Hazanavicius
An incredible movie; the best movie I saw about silent filmmaking. It's really about the visual language, in a most dramatic fashion. This is a must see movie for every aspiring filmmaker. "The Descendants" Alexander Payne
Typical gesture that the paparazzi love. It was a very slow movie; I couldn't bring myself to watch it. "Hugo" Martin Scorsese A 3D movie for kids. I don't know why he was nominated. |
BEST ACTOR
Brad Pitt in "Moneyball"
This is Brad Pitt's best performance as an actor. It's lucky that he gave it in the best film on baseball I have ever seen. It will be a travesty of justice not to give him the Oscar. Jean Dujardin in "The Artist"
He looked like the classical Hollywood star of the 40s & 50s. Greet performance. Gary Oldman in "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy"
Demián Bichir in "A Better Life"
George Clooney in "The Descendants" Lackluster performance. I don't know why they nominated him. |
