Oscar Predictions 2002 Reviews
Newest Review: ... no favours for the Kings Speech... see the said film to soften the hype and kill its momentum, and so that way you don't have ... more
... to sustain your hype for your movie all year. Black Swan fits that profile perfectly, slipping through the rankings like a stealth helicopter in an moonlit Iraqi night, appearing out of thin air with all guns blazing as this great Oscar hope, even though no great numbers had actually seen it, including the critics. Probably the greatest contemporary film of all time, The Shawshank Redemption bombed in the Oscars because it was released at the wrong time, but word of mouth spreading its appeal to have top a pile of g...moreCustomer Oscar Predictions 2002 Reviews (4)

This review is 'slightly' in the wrong place but 2002 is 2011 on the Gregorian Calender.lol. If you Google the 'King Speech' you no longer get Martin Luther but Colin 'shirt ripping' Firth, the clean sweep at the BAFTAs suggesting a good chance at The Oscars. Its a good film but not a top film and it did seem our domestic awards were rather too patriotic this year and that bias in every category seemed to deter a few of the big American stars from coming over this year for the annual pie in the face on the front row. It's great that BAFTA supports our film industry every year with British films winning lots of prizes but the Kings Speech is probably more the ... Read the complete review

Most of you have seen that Simpson?s episode where Homer joins the Stonecutters.Then they sing that song that?s very funny, but hard to remember, but would be so cool if you were a student. One of the lines is?who fixes the Oscars every year,we doooooo,we dooooo. I think the big night is no longer a judge of best film but away to promote actors like supermodels as Hollywood is now about bankability over talent. The best actress award this year will go to Nicole Kidman who?s split from show husband Cruise making her an entity in her own right. Shes not the best actress of course but she will make the movie a lot of money next year as the academy veres away ... Read the complete review

Ah, it's nearly that time of year again. Yes, once more that festival of razzmatazz, histrionics and shameless backslapping that is the Academy Awards is almost upon us. For some reason, they're held in the highest esteem by those in 'the business', and with the nominations soon to be announced, everyone in Hollywood (and beyond) will be dreaming of getting their hands on one of those little guys. No, not Tom Cruise - an Oscar. Even more so than last year's awards, there isn't an obvious winner in the main Best Picture category, although some films are now almost guaranteed a nomination. Living in England, as most of us do, a lot of the ... Read the complete review

Although a healthy seemingly democratic number of five thousand academy members vote in the Oscar winners 2002,they are selected from a shortlist drawn out by Hollyoods elite producers and film hierarchy that makes the films that wow us. The academy voters then tick a box like a multiple-choice questionnaire to decide this year’s grandee. This is what we see big studio productions like Titanic and American Beauty winning the bulk of the golden statues over the lower budget better movies. In the older days before special effects the big 6 studios would award each other big four Oscars each to there top four studios equally sharing them out to boost ... Read the complete review
