Tipsrunda

Okej, jag antar Emma Gray Munthes utmaning om att tippa årets oscarsvinnare, trots att jag som vanligt sett långt ifrån alla nominerade filmer. Dock kan jag inte välja mellan två troliga vinnare i ganska många kategorier, så jag tänker inte claima någon vinst i ämnet. ;D Jag har kursiverat de filmer jag inte sett, och av dessa så är det endast följande som jag vill se: "The Queen, "Marie Antoinette", "The Illusionist", "Superman Returns" och "De Andras Liv". Resten klarar jag mig utan. :D

Jag hoppas mest på priser till "Little Miss Sunshine" och Gosling, och minst på priser till "Babel" (överskattad sak), "Dreamgirls" (seriöst? Erbarmligt träpiller), "The Departed" (amerikansk remake på bra asiatisk film = luktar illa) och "Pans Labyrint" (fin, men blasé). Känns skönt att slippa Peter Jackson och hans oscarvinnande posse numera också, guldregn över dyra filmer gör en gala tråkig. :)
