Coconut Milk Natural Laxative

: final comments before the verdict

For those who love cinema and is, today is the most important date in the year, the delivery of Academy Awards that reward 82 years, according to Hollywood is the best of world cinema. The name Oscar, according to legend was made by an employee dell’Accademy che notà una somiglianza tra la statuetta e suo zio Oscar. Questa cerimonia ha sempre premiato un mix di glamour, professionalità e talento, con una curiosa novità nelle ultime due edizioni, in cui le piccole produzioni hanno avuto la meglio.

È stata un’annata ricca di ottimo cinema quella del 2011/2012 e secondo me Inception , The Social Network  e Black Swan sono a pari merito, con  una spanna sopra, anche se preferirei che vincesse la categoria a lui più consona, quella per l’animazione. Mi piacerebbe vedere premiato come miglior film Black Swan, ma è pure science fiction. The only plausible challenge is one of The Social Network and The Speech of the King and now rooting for the former, that until the day before yesterday was my favorite.

With 12 nominations, The Speech of the King is the superfavorito these Oscar, but I hope that happens as

last year, when the superfavorito superhollywoodiano and was resoundingly defeated by the independent Avatar The Hurt Locker unknown, or 2009, when he had the better of The Millionaire Curious Case of Benjamin Button .

Cameron's film won only three of nine statuettes that had been proposed, ditto for Fincher who received 13 nominations. It's just that Fincher is compensated this year and eventually win the superfavorito only 3 or 4 awards. But I think it's more likely that the two pareggino as a statuette, with 5 each and Oscar winning The Social Network for Best Picture.

For the other categories I am speaking only on Actress and Actor.

Colin Firth will win the Oscar, but was better in A Single Man . As for the actress's speech becomes more difficult: Annette Bening is most likely because it is more Hollywood actress and this prize would be a sort of compensation before retirement. Natalie Portman has a whole life ahead for another win and his performance is too far to be contained in an Oscar. Not to mention that the plaintiffs the coveted statuette recently has almost always turned into a conviction: just think of Reese Wetherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry, Julia Roberts, Gwyneth Paltrow, Helen Hunt, to name just the most recent cases of actresses that after the coveted Oscar have practically no more appropriate a film.


Now, all nominations to be read with the following legend:

bold : my personal Oscar

stressed: I think they will win.

The names are also arranged in order of probability of victory.
