Could AVATAR Win It All?

Jim here.I am talking the big one: Oscar's Best Picture. Apparently the tide has changed dramatically since AVATAR's release last week! HitFix has the inside track on what is happening in the minds of the Academy: UP IN THE AIR has a lot less altitude and AVATAR is out of this world. This is based on the recent Movie City News "The Gurus o' Gold" which include entertainment writers from some of the world's top media outlets.

Very interesting indeed. Of course AVATAR would be number one in my books too - a revolutionary film that clearly marks the beginning of S3D as well as photo real motion capture. While it is evident that Zoe Saldana cannot be up for Best Actress yet as it will take some time for the Academy members to appreciate what she (and others) will have accomplished with capturing performances - that will not hold back AVATAR. If you have seen the movie, you know how gripping and real Pandora feels and how emotionally attached you are to the characters. This is all taking place in the most visually stunning movie ever made.

Even Steven Spielberg said AVATAR is "the most evocative and amazing science-fiction movie since 'Star Wars.'"

Now that is an endorsement. Take it to the bank I say. Thanks for the heads up m4st4!
