Oscars 2010

This is my one post per year (more or less) on this site that is not a review. And I get pretty excited about it.

First, my “movies of the year” list. These are the Top 10, plus 1 that was really close to Top 10 – all of which are the films I found to be the best of the year. With the exception of Number 1, these films are in no particular order.
  1. The White Ribbon
  2. A Prophet
  3. The Hurt Locker
  4. Inglorious Basterds
  5. A Serious Man
  6. Nine
  7. Up
  8. The Messenger
  9. District 9
  10. Where the Wild Things Are
  11. A Single Man

And, without further adieu, here are my predictions (what I think will win) and my selections (what I think should win). As a caveat: I did not see all the films in FOREIGN LANGUAGE, DOC FEATURE, or DOC SHORT. I saw all the others.

My predictions are in BLUE, and my selections are in RED.
