Pictures 2011

March 7th 2010, the time that all those film fanatics will be waiting for. The Academy Awards will see that Hollywood is working nonstop for the next month. So many awards are won during the year but none are as prestigious as the Oscar, and that is the one I have chosen to talk about in this article.

So who will win the best picture award for this year? This is the most sought after award amongst nominees and will inevitably be handed to the one that everyone remembers the most from that year. Winning an award such as that will see that the director will have the chance to create another great piece of work if not better. Ten films have been nominated this year for the best picture award so it's going to be an exciting ordeal to see who gets to the top.

Up was a great movie and a lot of people loved it for its classic style but it is unlikely to win the best picture award of the year. Up was a heart warming movie for the millions that have watched it. It sees an old man travelling with a kid around the world in a house balloon. Many would say that Up is valid contender for the best picture award this year.

A movie that never reached the box office number one is A Serious Man by the Coen Brothers. It was loved by those that went to see the film in the latter part of 2009 and has been praised as Oscar worthy.

Quentin Tarantino is back on form with Inglorious Basterds. This is a great movie and if it doesn't get the best picture award I am certain that it will get a best actor or supporting Oscar.

James Cameron's Avatar, of course is the favourite to win this year. Everyone loved it as it had a refreshing style like no other. But you can never tell for sure, we will just have to wait until the cards are opened out on the night.
