Tomorrow is the Big Day of the Oscars
~ By Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima
Do not be surprised if the director of Avatar, the most debated movie on the Internet, James Cameron loses the coveted Oscar for Best Director to his ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow or Lone Scherfig, director of An Education. One thing for sure is it is not going to be a walk over for any of the directors of the films nominated for the Best Picture.
The Hurt Locker has already won the BAFTA and in fact, James Cameron said he would be glad to see her winning the Oscar for the Best Picture as well. He knows that she really excelled in directing her Iraqi war thriller.
1. Avatar

8. A Serious Man
9. UP

I see Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side) and Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart) clutching their Oscars for the Best Actress and Best Actor in leading roles..
Many film critics say it is going to be either George Clooney (Up In The Air) or Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker), but I am betting on Jeff Bridges. And of course Meryl Streep (Julie & Julia) knows her greatest contender for the Best Actress Oscar is Sandra Bullock.
I wish all the Oscar Nominees the best wishes of their dreams.
