Oscar season is here again, so once again I get to discuss a bunch of movies with friends and rank them as best and, i get to talk like i know what I am talking about. Alright lets just jump in with a quick list post of how I rank the Best Picture nominated movies I have seen.
5. The Help - Enjoyable yes, Oscar worthy probably not. While the performances by Octavia Spenser and Viola Davis were great, I don't really understand why this movie was nominated as a whole. Dealing with race relations seems to lend itself to getting nominated a lot.
4. Moneyball - Another one that kind of esapes me for why it was nominated. I really enjoyed how the movie looked, and being into baseball helped me like it more, the whole movie just didn't do it for me.
3. Hugo - Alright, this one I agree with the nomination for. Scorsase's tribute to film was mesmerising, the 3D and the sets were beautiful. I was litterally in awe through the majority of the movie. Ben Kingsly's deeply saddened character and the flashbacks to the old days of film were awe inspiring. Would not be suprised if this wins, although I don't think it will.
2. Midnight In Paris - There is no way this movie will win the award. There I said it, Hugo is the better, but this is my list I can put Midnight In Paris further down because I loved this movie, the homages to the Ex-Pats and authors made me so giddy.
1. The Artist - Gushed, I loved this film, I gurentee a win. The ending made me so happy, reminded me of all the movies I was raised on. I cannot say enough good things about this film.
