My Predictions For The 75th Annual Academy Awards
On" has a shot, if only because it's the chance to honor the wonderful musical with a music Oscar. Songs from animated movies always do well, but Paul Simon's "Father and Daughter" doesn't really have a chance, Disney films tend to do better at winning Oscars. And honestly, has anybody even heard "Burn It Blue" from Frida? This one is pretty much easy ... U2's song to Gangs of New York will be taking the Oscar. It won the Golden Globe, and has most of the momentum.
BEST SOUND
Best Sound is always a tough one to call, mostly because it doesn't seem the Academy really knows sometimes what it's voting for here. I realized this the year that The English Patient won for Sound over the more deserving technical sound achievements of Twister or Independence Day. So I think the sweep of Chicago will continue here, although Lord of the Rings does have a serious shot here. I predict Chicago in a sweep.
BEST SOUND EDITING
Here's where Lord of the Rings will finally win a couple of Oscars. Its technical achievements are once again top notch, and while Minority Report does have a shot, look for Two Towers to take this Oscar for its first class achievements in sound editing.
BEST VISUAL EFFECTS
This one will also most likely be another easy choice for the Academy to put a couple of Oscars towards the second installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. All three of these visual effects nominees exhibited the latest, greatest advances available in computer visual effects, but Two Towers is even more well known this year for its ability to truly create a computer generated character who we actually forget is computer generated. The creation of the unique character Gollum will no doubt stand out to Academy voters, and it will follow in the original's tracks and take another Oscar for its glorious visual effects.
