Premiile Oscar 2009




S-a incheiat si cea de-a 81-a editie a decernarii premiilor Oscar. Batalia dintre cele doua mari favorite (Slumdog Millionaire si The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) s-a terminat cu victoria detasata a filmului Slumdog Millionaire, castigator a 8 premii Oscar (2 dintre ele fiind cele mai importante ale intregii gale - cel mai bun film si cea mai buna regie) din 10 nominalizari pe care le-a avut.

Soundtrack:
Mildred J. Hill & Patty J. Hill - Happy Birthday
Trailer:



Kate Winslet a castigat un Glob de Aur pentru rolul din acest film - si pe merit l-a luat - dar mi se pare ca si Leonardo DiCaprio merita un premiu! Un rol dificil, jucat intr-un mod fabulos! Cum probabil a zis multa lume, cei doi "adolescenti indragostiti" din Titanic au ajuns la o maturitate actoriceasca demna de acest film. Filmul seamana din mai multe puncte de vedere cu American Beauty, vreau doar sa subliniez cursivitatea lui si finetea cu care expune drama unei familii.

David Fincher a mai regizat Zodiac, Fight Club, Se7en, dar cu ultimul lui film - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - a facut rost de 13 nominalizari la Oscar, si mai mult ca sigur va si castiga o parte din ele. Mi se pare un film de Oscaruri, dar mi-a placut, si mi-a placut ca au jucat Brad Pitt si Cate Blanchett in rolurile principale, mi-a placut ca a aparut si Tilda Swinton, mi-a placut ca Benjamin Button a fost crescut de o familie de negri intr-un azil de batrani; mi-au placut efectele speciale, mi-a placut povestea.
