There is a ritual that's I am following almost religiously for the last four years and that's watching all the Best Film Nominees of Academy Awards or Oscars before Academy awards anyone of them with the tag on the biggest annual night of Hollywood. So far, I have been to able to catch up with 8 of final 9 nominees and there were definitely some feature films whom I handpicked up from various critics' site and were extremely close to make the final cut themselves. So let's start with their synopsis one by one and I shall let you know about my pick at the last of this post:
a) The Revenant - The most powerful nominee and probably the most completed film of past year that could finally enable Leo to bag his long, coveted Oscars. He has eaten a bison-liver for God's sake all raw and bloody for this film and though it's become quite a notorious moment of the film, it could finally fetch an Oscars best actor trophy for him. Also for second year in succession, A. G. Inarritu, the director of the movie has been in top form and could bring home both best director and best film Oscars after 'Birdman' the previous year with Michael Keaton.
b) The Big Short - As much as I liked 'The Revenant', I would be lying if I say I liked this film less. A dramatic affair that deals with American subprime crisis in a hilarious yet informative manner, this film is the second most powerful contender of Oscars. Don't you dare miss it. Plus it has got Brad Pitt, Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling and Steve Carell. Enough said!!!
c) The Martian - Academy awarded it with a nomination and I am still wondering why. It's a fine film undoubtedly and One of Matt Damon and Scott's finest in recent times, but if Intersteller and Gravity didn't win Oscars, I would start doubting Academy's decision making power and that decision shall left me disappointed and certainly very angry if they by God's miracle tag it 'the best'
More to follow in second post....otherwise it would be an insanely long post.
