Minority Movie Report - Aisha

This evening is one of the biggest movie nights of the year. The 82nd Annual Academy awards are here to tell us, the lowly masses, who's who for the films of 2009.

There are live feeds coming from www.oscar.com if you are like me and have forgone cable.

I can't say that I have always agreed with the selections that come out on top at the Oscars on any given year, but it is always fun to speculate isn't it? With that in mind, I chose some of the most popular categories and made some predictions on my own. In all honesty, I have not seen even half of the movies nominated, so this is just a guessing game of fun. Here are my selections for 2009:

Leading Actor: Morgan Freeman - Invictus

Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz - Inglorious Basterds

Leading Actress: Gabourey Sidibe - Precious

Supporting Actress: Mo'nique - Precious

Animated Feature: Up

Visual Affects: Avatar

Directing: Inglorious Basterds

Original Screenplay: Inglorious Basterds

Adapted Screenplay: Precious

Best picture: Inglorious Basterds

You may notice I have a bit of a bias on my choices. What can I say, I loved Inglorious Basterds!

If you are ready to make some (better informed?) selections of your own, go to www.oscar.com and click the option to download your own ballot!
