Best Ensemble

The Oscar nominations are here, I will blog about them in time, (possibly live blog the actual ceremony?) - the only categories I nailed in my predix were best actress (sorry, Cotillard, I knew it) and best picture (minus my no guts, no glory pick for skyfall) - everything else was a bit of a clusterfuck as expected - SO happy to see Benh Zeitlin recognised though, so so so happy!

Academy Award Predictions 2013

In around about 12 hours, we will know who the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have decided to honour for the film year of 2012.

Here is my best stab in the dark at who/what the hell is going to be nominated - it will be very interesting to say the least!

Supporting Actress of the Year

The Morgan's Awardage Continues 

- The Supporting Ladies

Best Supporting Actress is always my favourite category, its full of the interesting parts and there are so many variables. Best Actress is interesting, but there are generally fewer candidates and less interesting parts than you'll find in Best Supporting Actress. Take for example the potential nominees this year, including Nicole Kidman as a prisoner obsessed trashy southern belle in The Paperboy, Judi Dench as M in Skyfall, Amy Adams as the Lady Macbeth in The Master. There's more potential for dynamite performances, limited screen time often enabling them to work it for all its worth.

The following ladies constitute the best scene-stealers, supporting ladies and cameos that blew me away this year - bearing in mind I haven't seen Les Mis and Lincoln, where the two front-runners in this category come from.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS 2012

Another brilliant year for the ladies, so many to choose from, of course, barely any of these will be noticed come oscar nomination morning, but here at least, I can give them their dues. My nominees include a newcomer, a breakout comedian, a veteran dame, an american great, underrated star and a european goddess.
