Oscar season arrived!



While I was away, award season appeared and just today, Academy Awards nominees were announced!

It's no surprise to hear names such as Meryl Streep or Michelle Williams, excellent actresses. On the other hand there are the A-list actors who can't be easily ignored, such as George Clooney and Brad Pitt; also great performers but often eclipsed by theirs star status. And what about Leo who didn't make it to the final cut with his amazing performance of Edgar Hoover?

But of course there are new faces and some incredible nominations to talk about...

People I like to watch rising the golden statue? Always amazing Gary Oldman or the magnificent Mexican cinematographer -my personal favorite-, Emmanuel Lubezki. Can you believe the first one has never been nominated before? On the opposite, The second has had five nominations but no win!

One of the best actors Mexico has, Demián Bichir, is finally recognized by his performance in A better life. I hope this means he will drag more attention towards his acting career.

Terrence Malick is on the spotlight! Among Scorcese and Alexander Payne.

So, this post could go on and on, but instead of boring you, who dou you think will get Oscar this time?

Let me know!
