It’s nice to be actively rooting for two movies that appear to be frontrunners: The Descendants and The Artist.
It’s a change from last year when I was championing a movie four other people cared about.
But I’m not sure how I’ll handle any negativity about these movies because both of them affected my heart in very different, but very strong ways.
So maybe last year was better. There was no negative talk because there was no talk.
I follow people who love George Clooney and people who hate George Clooney. You should put your “Clooney as a person” feelings aside for The Descendants because he disappears in that role and he is amazing. The scene with his wife near the end has still stuck with me.
I think I have more feelings about The Descendants. It was an amazing script and every performance was exceptional, especially from Shailene Woodley, the girl from that stupid teen pregnancy show.
Maybe I want The Descendants to win. But The Artist would be wonderful too.
If The Muppets doesn’t get a single Best Original Song nomination, I will set things on fire.
I just really want Melissa McCarthy to be nominated and to win an Oscar.
