The 87th Academy Awards ....Who is winning

BEST PICTURE

Winner

                                                                 American Sniper

 Has to be the best movie of 2014, in a year i think lacked good stories and great performances, American sniper really stood out. i am a really big hunt locker fan and i think American sniper is up there with it. a combination of two classic Enemy At The Gate and Zero Dark Thirty.
  The biggest competition for American sniper will be Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance).



BEST DIRECTOR

 Winner

Alejandro G. Inarritu for Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue Of Ignorance)

   
 If there is any Movie that will describe the mind of Inarritu it has to be Birdman. his innovative     thinking and camera shoots where out of this world. he brought out great performances from Old and the forgotten and the new and the talented,
 The biggest competition for inarritu will be Richard Linklater for Boyhood.

BEST ACTOR LEADING ROLE

Winner

                                                      Steve Carell For Foxcatcher  

One of the greatest transformation and performance by steve carell, who showed in foxcatcher he is more than a funny guy. for a while you forgot its was steve carell. has to be the best male performance for last year in a leading role .

Kid Actors That Became Hollywood A Listers

DREW BARRYMORE




























She has to be top of everyone's list of child actors who made it in hollywood as an adult. although she had her problems with drugs and alcohol growing up, we can never forget the face of that little girl in steven spielberg ET who grew up to become a very dominant actor and producer in hollywood.

                                                                                                           CHRISTIAN BALE

 

Personally he is one of my favorite, he has a very strong ability to relate to his characters that has always been a part of him since his early age. like many kid actors that where around in his time whom faded easily as time past, bale hard work made him relevant and eventually he grow up to become batman that we all now know him as. 

                                                                                               JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT

Probably the most talented kid actor of all time to have made it to the summit of hollywood, he is also and over achiever. he made it as a kid on TV and made the transformation to hollywood, he is not just a talented actor but also a good writer and film maker.

                                                                                                                       SHIA LABEOUF

Just like Gordin-Levitt, shia made it on TV. watching him on even stevens you knew he was a special talent. he is definitely the most publicized of all. but he has also shown he can hold his own.

                                                                                                              NATALIE PORTMAN  

Who can ever forget portman for her role in the 1994 leon the professional, she has had a blossom career ever since, had major roles in big budget hollywood movies like star wars and also clinched an oscar along the way for her role in the black swan.  

                                                                                                   LEONARDO DICAPRIO

 

If you had to describe dicaprio in two words it will be living legend, he said acting saved his life. but how will hollywood look without him. he has always been a constant performer since he arrived in the early 90s, he has numerous oscar nominations to show for that and i don,t think we have seen the best of leonardo dicaprio.
