Misleading Hope for Inglourious Basterds!
So, last week I wrote about the Golden Globes, and how Avatar is going to steal everything from Inglourious Basterds.
Well, here's the good news: Inglourious Basterds won the SAG award for Best Ensemble last night! (Because the SAG awards only award performances, the top award is Best Ensemble, the de facto Best Picture.) The movie now has huge momentum heading into the Oscar race.
The news that makes it less impressive: Avatar, which downplayed actors' performances in favor of sci fi and CGI, was not nominated. Tarantino's opus beat out four other films. More than likely, when Oscar noms are announced (Tuesday, February 2), it will be Avatar and four underdogs.
If Inglourious Basterds is one of them, I'll be rooting for its unlikely victory.
