Best Picture Oscar

It is just days until the Oscars and the ballots are being counted and recounted by those nerdy accountants they always drag out. With 10 pictures in the running for Best Picture this year, I think it may split the vote all over the place and make it a very close race with several movies; the bookies, however, have it down to a toss-up between The Hurt Locker and Avatar. The real question though is not who will win but who should win for Best Picture? Cast your vote and let’s see if we at chickflix think the Academy got it right.

I’m really hoping for an upset, for the Academy to pick one of the lesser touted films. Up in the Air, Precious, Up? What do you think?

    I’m also hoping for an upset. My pick would be Up in the Air. The more I think about it the more I enjoyed that movie and I think it really resonates. And, hey, George Clooney never hurts.

    I agree with Adventurous Chick. I would love to see an “Up in the Air” upset – mostly because it struck a rare and welcome balance of humor, satire, drama and timely relevance. And oh yeah- George Clooney.
