Last year it was evident to me that the best picture
was going to be The King's Speech. There was no discussion, because of the
storyline, the actor's performances, the scenes, the editing, soundtrack, etc.
It was a master piece. However, regarding this year's nominees for best picture
is not clear to me which movie could be the winner. Unfortunately, I have not
seen all the nominees for best picture, but I have heard good comments
regarding: The Help, Moneyball and Hugo. Until now my vote would be for
Moneyball! Why? because I like Brad Pitt's performance, as well as Jonah
Hill's, the storyline and the editing. However, the favorite seems to be The
Artist. Let's see what happens on February 26th, can't wait!
So, you can make your pick for Best Picture, the
nominees are:
The Artist
The Descendants
Jim Burke, Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor, Producers
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
Scott Rudin, Producer
The Help
