Well the individual acting honors matches those from the Golden Globes, and it looks like this is how the Oscars may turn out. But I have an inkling that Sandra Bullock will not win Best Actress at the Oscars when it is all said and done. If I had a vote it would go to Carey Mulligan, but she’s young, so her being nominated is a good start. But the Actress race will be Bullock vs. Streep in a no holds barred chickfight. Okay, not really, but Streep could possibly pick up her third Oscar, which would put her one behind Katherine Hepburn for most all time.
Switching gears, how about the Inglourious Basterds win for Best Ensemble? Though, when compared to the other films nominated, the competition was highlighted by strong signature performances. Not to say that Basterds wasn’t (Christoph Waltz – hello!), but three of the five nominated pictures were recognized in either the Best Actor or Best Actress races. The only film that wasn’t was Nine, which has quickly fallen off the Oscar radar.
