The Nominees Has Been Announced!! Yes, This is The 82nd Academy Awards..

Ah, the times has come.
Selasa pagi, waktu Hollywood (tadi malam, waktu Indonesia), aktris Anne Hathaway dan AMPAS (Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences) President, Tom Sherak mengumumkan nominasi Academy Awards 2010. The nominees are just awesome!! Ada 10 film yang dinominasikan untuk kategori Best Picture, dengan Avatar atau The Hurt Locker yang diperkirakan akan membawa pulang trofi untuk kategori termegah ini.



Uniknya, James Cameron (sutradara Avatar) dan Kathryn Bigelow (sutradara The Hurt Locker) adalah mantan pasangan suami istri dan dalam ajang Oscar tahun ini keduanya bersaing dalam dua kategori bergengsi: Bes Picture dan Best Achievement in Directing. Keduanya bahkan sebenarnya memiliki peluang yang sama besarnya untuk memenangkan kedua kategori ini. Kejutan muncul dari District 9 yang tidak disangka-sangka berhasil mendapatkan nominasi dalam kategori Best Picture, sementara Star Trek yang dielu-elukan oleh banyak orang (termasuk saya) justru tidak mendapatkan nominasi.

Cerita lainnya dari Oscar tahun ini adalah tentang nominasi dalam akting. Kalau Anda perhatikan, nama-nama yang muncul dalam kategori akting kebanyakan adalah nama-nama baru yang belum pernah mendapat nominasi Oscar di tahun-tahun sebelumnya. Bahkan, 4 nama yang diperkirakan akan memenangkan penghargaan (Sandra Bullock untuk Best Actress; Jeff Bridges untuk Best Actor; Mo'Nique untuk Best Supporting Actress; dan Cristoph Waltz untuk Best Supporting Actor) memang adalah aktor dan aktris yang sebelumnya belum pernah mendapatkan nominasi Oscar. Tahun ini juga adalah tahunnya Maggie Gyllenhaal (yang mendapatkan nominasi Best Supporting Actress dalam Crazy Heart), Twilight Saga's Anna Kendricks (Sup-Actress, Up In The Air. Maaf Kristen, but she is the real star), Vera Farmiga (Sup-Actress, Up In The Air), dan Christopher Plummer yang telah malang melintang di dunia perfilman selama puluhan tahun!! Does anyone aware that the 80's year actor never get oscar noms before? What a relief that the Academy finally give him a credit for his work... I love him..

Untuk kategori Best Original Song, agak mengejutkan juga "I See You" tidak berhasil masuk sebagai nominasi. Sementara Best Original Score akan dipersaingkan dengan ketat oleh Up dan Avatar (i love them both). Hal yang paling membanggakan untuk saya pribadi adalah bahwa Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince mendapat nominasi untuk Best Cinematography. Ini adalah kali pertama franchise Harry Potter mendapat nominasi Oscar dalam kategori ini (sebelumnya, nominasi yang berhasil didapatkan adalah Art Direction dan Original Score). Dan saya sempat lupa bahwa nominasi untuk Best Visual Effects hanya tiga film. Saya yakin Harry Potter juga bisa mendapatkan nominasi ini kalau film yang dinominasikan untuk kategori ini dibatasi sampai 5 film.

What's your opinion about this year's nominees? I personally would love to see another female director wins after Sofia Coppola brought the Oscar home... :)

Congrats, RPatzz, for ur Razzies Noms!!

You're hot, Megan. But that's it.

Hari Selasa minggu ini (waktu Hollywood), nominasi Oscar 2010 akan diumumkan. Sehari sebelumnya, ajang lain yang tidak kalah fenomenalnya juga mengumumkan nominasi film dan insan perfilman yang akan mendapat 'penghargaan' atas performanya di tahun 2009.

Yup, this is The Annual 30th Annual Razzie Awards, ladies and gentlemen... which (dis)honor films and people who got the worst performance of the year. Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen memimpin dengan jumlah nominasi terbanyak, diikuti oleh Land of The Lost, G.I. Joe, dan The Twilight Saga: New Moon yang mendapat nominasi untuk Worst Supporting Actor (Robert Pattinson), Worst Sequel, Worst Couple, dan Worst Screenplay.

Transformers dan New Moon sendiri adalah dua dari 10 film terlaris di tahun 2009 (Transformers di posisi ke-4 box office dan New Moon di posisi ke-7), namun kesuksesan kedua film ini, sayangnya, tidak diimbangi dengan kualitas yang baik. Penghargaan Razzie Awards 2010 akan diberikan pada tanggal 6 Maret 2010, sehari sebelum Oscar. Sandra Bullock, yang diperkirakan akan mendapatkan Oscar lewat The Blind Side ternyata juga mendapatkan nominasi Worst Actress dalam All About Steve. What an irony...
