Oscar Fever 2013

Django Unchained

Here's another of Quentin Tarantino's cult classics added to my movie collection. Jamie Foxx as the slave turned cowboy "Django", Christoph waltz as the eccentric German dentist Dr.King Schultz, Kerry washington as Django's wife Broomhilda, Leonardo as the racist Calvin Candie, and Samuel Jackson as Stephen /Uncle Tom deliver what's worthy of being in a Tarantino's classic.

A revenge story set in 19th century where the "N" word appears in every single dialogue. Schultz and Django team up to save Broomhilda from the racist Calvin Candie and Stephen (Uncle Tom). If you are the type which enjoyed the dark humour and gory scenes from Tarantino's earlier movies like Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill, then you are in for a treat with this Original Screenplay.

Oscar 2013 - I predict
Best Original Screenplay - Quentin Tarantino
Best Supporting Actor - Christoph waltz

Lincoln

If Django had an abusive usage of "N" word, Steven Spielberg tells the story of the great man who changed the history for Black people and slaves. Daniel Day Lewis gives a splendid performance as Abraham Lincoln with an exquisite charm. Watch the deadly combination of two brilliant creative personalities - Steven Speilberg and Daniel Day Lewis and history is rewritten.


Oscar 2013 - I predict
Best Director - Steven Spielberg
Best Actor - Daniel Day Lewis

Argo

Brilliant and Nail biting. Supremely talented Ben Affleck tells the story of Tony Mendez, a CIA agent and his most unorthodox method of making a fake movie called  " Argo" to rescue Americans trapped in Tehran.If you are looking for thrilling entertainment, then Argo is for you.


Oscar 2013 - I predict
Best Film

Les Miserables

Tom Hooper excels in making a musical drama come alive on large screen. Based on Victor Hugo's novel by the same name, the story of Jean Valjean an ex-convict who becomes mayor of a town in France. The story spans 17 years and is a great musical experience if you have patience for nearly 3 hours.


Oscar 2013 - I predict
Best Supporting Actress - Anne Hathaway

Silver Linings Playbook

Impressive piece of filmmaking by David O Russell and by the lead characters Bradley Cooper and Jeniffer Lawrence. A story which says that every single one of us have a screwed up life, atleast a little. Based on the novel by Mathew Quick, Bradley and Jennifer deliver stellar performances in this beautiful romantic storyline. Jennifer with her aggressive character and yet delicate will leave you wanting more of her. But the surprise package of the movie is Bradley who displays a wide range of emotions from anger, fear, stress and love.


Oscar 2013 - I predict
Best Actress - Jennifer Lawrence
