Oscars, 2/17.
By David Hudson on 02/17/2009
The Film Experience Oscar Symposium, hosted by Nathaniel R, has been called to order: Timothy Brayton, Ed Gonzalez, Karina Longworth, Erik Lundegaard and Kris Tapley.
"The Oscars are in six days. Are you as bored as we are?" asks the Playlist. "David Carr started the 'If I Ran The Academy' meme listing 10 things you would change in this year's Oscars if you had magical powers and then Jeff Wells joined in." Naturally, the 'list is in, too.
Oscar predictions: In New York, "Mr Statistics, Nate Silver, goes for the gold," while at Movie City News, the Gurus of Gold have made their final predictions. More from Lou Lumenick (New York Post).
With neither knowing that the other would also be arguing the case at almost exactly the same time, both Dennis Cozzalio and Paul Matwychuk believe that Anna Faris, though she hasn't even been nominated, delivered the performance(s) of the year by an actress; Paul also sorts through a few other Oscar categories, listing the "Most Undeserving Nominee," the "Most Obvious Snub" and, of course, "In Our Dreams."
Ray Pride talks with Ari Folman about "Waltz with Bashir" and with Laurent Cantet about "The Class."
