Spotlight Which film will follow the lines of Crash, Million Dollar Baby and Chicago? Who will be the next Reese Witherspoon and Philip Seymour Hoffman? Dreamgirls:
All The Kings Men: Hey ho and a controversy here and there certainly is not doing AKM much harm. With Oscar's pets like Sean Penn, Kathy Bates and Jack Nicholson, accompanied by Kate Wilson, and Jude Law, it is setting standards in the acting categories. It is likely to end up with nominations under most major titles. The Departed:
Che: Che maps the life of the stratospheric revolutionary, Che Guevara, winding from his personal life to his political involvements. While the Guevara-worship has been prominent for quite sometime, the movie boasts of the skills of Oscar winners, Steven Soderbergh (director) and Benicio Del Toro (actor). It is most certainly stealing many nomination ballots.
In the male section, the Departed is presenting its best. In addition, there is Benicio Del Toro (Che), Brad Pitt and Gael Garcia Bernal (both in Babel), Russell Crowe (A Good Year) and several more. On a final note, while we sit here guessing and crossing out names, the process may seem long-drawn. Given the excitement, Oscar 2007 may be worth the wait. For the time being, we can hold onto racist police officers, “overly playful” howdies and the heart-wrenching stare of the geisha. By Shahmuddin Ahmed Siddiky |
