Loyal readers will already know I have an excuse list a mile long about why I haven’t seen many of the Oscar nominees, so I won’t bore you again. Instead, please enjoy this year’s slightly different version of my Oscar preview as I pick a head and a heart winner for some of the major categories. First up, the music categories.
Original Song
“Down to Earth” from Wall-E
“Jai Ho” from Slumdog Millionaire
“O Saya” from Slumdog Millionaire
Heart Pick: “Down to Earth” from Wall-E
Being one of the only Oscar nominated films I’ve seen, I had to go with Peter Gabriel’s tune from my pick for best picture of 2008. Sure it’s another Disney/Pixar joint and they win every year but I’m pulling for Wall-E to get as much love as possible.
Head Pick: “Jai Ho” from Slumdog Millionaire
While many think that the duo nods for Slumdog will split the vote it seems this song is a winner based on other award season recognition.
Original Score
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Defiance
Milk
Slumdog Millionaire
Wall-E
Heart and Head Pick: Wall-E
Yet again my favorite film of ’08 and I think a deserving pick. I also think that Wall-E will take the prize thanks to the scarcity of dialogue in the picture.
