Danny Boyle, Mickey Rourke, Heath Ledger – Oscars 2009

Well the Oscar nominations are out. I’m not going to go through the whole list (which you can see here), but here’s my outlook. Slumdog and Danny Boyle have been nominated for 11. I really hope they get some of these as Danny Boyle deserves awards and the cast were superb. I’d love Boyle to pick up best director and Slumdog to get best picture. Also, It’d be only fair for Mickey Rourke to get best actor for The Wrestler. I’m suprised Downey Jr’s got a nomination as best supporting actor for Project Thunder but he’s awesome and played a very funny character. Heath should (and probably will) get it for The Dark Knight though. I’ve yet to watch a lot of the nominated films (quite a few aren’t out here in the UK yet, like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Milk).

Tropic Thunder

Aren’t Orange Wednesday’s good? Especially when you go and see something funny and engaging which takes you out of yourself for a couple of hours.

Tropic Thunder has a brilliant ensemble cast and features one of my favourite actors, Robert Downey Jr. It pays homage to films like Platoon and Apocalypse Now, and it is laugh-out-loud funny.
