For once dun really have any favorites but of cos hope that Pan's Labyrinth will get at least one. But if Little Miss Sunshine do get Best Pic, I will be ecstatic cos I enjoyed it so much. Yes, it was a bit sentimental & too many obvious plot devices but it had warmth & heart. Also probably the most perfect cast ever & a crazy, unexpected ending. I won't even mind Martin Scorsese getting his gong at last, at the expense of the other more deserving directors like LMS who at least worked with their own original script, just to see if he would thank the producers of Infernal Affairs :P Unlike David, I am not a fan of his testosterone movies >"<
Also hope that Curse of the Golden Flower get Best Costume as they were really vry beautiful & the best thing in the movie apart from Gongli of cos. As for Gongli getting robbed of nomination I laid squarely at the feet of Zhang Yimou who tried too hard to make an Oscar winning movie. Curse should have been Gongli movie & hers alone, instead she had to share precious screentime with an uncharismatic Jay Chou. There was little chemistry between them & poor Gongli was forced to make too much unnecessary touchy feely scenes of affecting mom/son moments so jaring in an ancient setting. But in the end, even she stopped trying at Jay's feeble, anticlimax acting & sat there frozen with absolutely no feeling of grief on her lovely face *sigh* Still I do adore her in the movie as her beauty was so captivating.
