The 83rd Academy Awards 2011


The 83rd Academy Awards 2011 is currently in progress. It will be nail-biting moment around the world where movie buffs are concerned. I do feel the same, as this year one of the movies I have been raving about is up for five nominations - Actress In A Leading Role, Cinematography, Directing, Film Editing, and Best Picture; the movie in question is Black Swan, starring the ever so gorgeous Natalie Portman.

I'm REALLY hoping that Black Swan will win at least two to three out of five nominations. I have yet to watch it but I hope it has all the stuff I have come to expect from a ballet movie and more, as it has been categorised as a psychosexual thriller, thus, I would think Black Swan would not the regular run-of-the-mill ballet movie. Good to know that where Hollywood's concerned it's really moving it with the current times.

Having said that, I also hope that some of the movies nominated in the same categories as Black Swan such as The Social Network and Toy Story 3 will also have a fair chance to win as well. All great movies nominated for this year's Oscars should at least given some due recognition even if they may not win any awards, as they really do have a positive impact to the global movie box office collection.

  1. I like Natalie Portman and I am stunned that she acted so well in the 'Black Swan' that she got an oscar for her role as Nina!!!She's so amazing!Although I didn't buy the dvd just so to watch and capture her on the TV set but I believe that she is a terrific actress!She must deserved her award!

  2. My mom says you only get to watch LIVE the 83 Academy Awards at night on TV but this morning I've already heard on the radio that Natalie Portman won the Best Actress in the Black Swan and Colin Firth won the Best Actor in the King's Speech.This shows how fast the radio transistor can bring news broadcast overseas!!!
