After the fantastically rewarding events 
of the Writer's Guild Awards, we're thrown slightly back into the fray. The ADG winners weren't altogether surprising, mostly because there weren't any contemporary films nominated for the Oscar. So the fact that Black Swan won the contemporary field really makes sparse difference. It's a two horse race between Inception and The King's Speech, both of which took their respective honors last night. Alice in Wonderland failed to achieve a win from the Fantasy category, so the film may indeed walk away empty handed on Oscar night. Against all predictability, dreams really do come true, kinda.

Contemporary Art Direction: Black Swan
Fantasy Art Direction: Inception
Do you think that if Black Swan received an Oscar nomination it could've won?
ReplyDeleteAnd I have no idea why, but I was expecting a win for Deathly Hallows in the fantasy category. Oh well.
I doubt "Black Swan" ever had much of chance, mostly because the category usual skews toward the entries in the fantasy category. My personal pick for the win would be the widely overlooked "Deathly Hallows: Part 1", but without the ADG win it doesn't stand a chance.
