Sorry fellow bloggers, but I cannot see
The Hurt Locker winning Best Picture. My test with Oscar predictions, as with life decisions, is to flip it on its back and see how that feels. Otherwise known as the "can I live with this in the morning?" test. For example, the reason Jeff Bridges will win is because for him not to win would be tantamount to saying: you'll never be good enough. Can't live with it in the morning. Director will go to Bigelow, and all the usual categories that make up a Best Picture winner — editing, script, cinematography, art direction etc — will be divided up between them. Best Actress is a closer race than many think but will still go to Bullock. Tarantino could sneak original screenplay away from Mark Boal. My own personal wish, that
The Hurt Locker and
Avatar be inserted into a Jeff Goldbum-designed telepod, where an accident results in their genes being magically combined to make
Dances-with-Wolves-in-Iraq with blue people, looks like going sadly unheeded.
