The Academy Awards
The Academy Awards, more commonly known as the Oscars, are just a month away and the nominations have just been released. If you are eager to find out who has been nominated in each category, you can get all the information on the official Oscars website. Who do you reckon is going to take home the award for Best Leading Actor? Who are going to place your money on for Best Actress? Which film do you think is going to sweep the board this year? Who do you think doesn't stand a chance of winning anything? Do you think Penelope can bring home the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for a second year in a row? Leave a comment and share your thoughts with me. Or, even better, if you have seen one of the films which have been nominated this year, why not write us a review and tell us all about it. I haven't seen any of this year's films and would love to hear your rave reviews. Of course, if you wish to pan the nominated films - that is fine too!
Don't be shy! This is great practice for those of you who are preparing for the Cambridge Exams!

Congratulation for the blog.
If I had decided to write it because I love cinema and especially the Oscars, I'am impacient to reach the 7 March to know the winners.
I've seen some of the nominated films and except surprise, Avatar will be a big winner, I personally prefer other movies but I not member of the Academy.
In nomination for Best Supporting Actress is very difficult to Penelope Cruz win because one of the favorites is Mo'Nique for her role in Precious, and the normal is she win because before she won the Golden Globe in the same category.
My pool of winners is:
Best Picture: Avatar
Best Actor: Jeff Bridges
Best Supporting Actor: Christoper Waltz
Best Actress: Sandra Bullock but all are fantastic.
Best Supporting Actress: Mo'Nique
Director: Kathryn Bigelow or James Cameron. If the winner is Kathryn Bigelow, she would be the first woman to win an Oscar in this category.
Animated Film: Up
Foreing Language Film: The White Ribbon or The Secret of your eyes
Clara Castaño
