The Oscars 2013 Academy Awards

         On February 24, 2013 the Oscars will be taking place at the Kodak Theatre this Sunday. Many viewers are looking foward to the event. Seems to everyone that Argo generates the heat but believe Lincoln can catch up. So many nominatations for such great films, I believe this is going to be a nail biting case. I am looking forward to Seth MacFarlane being the host, he is sure an entertainer. The man has talent, he's the voice of the famous family guy, singer, a movie director, producer, and writer.

The most part I am looking forward to is, the red carpet. I cannot miss out on fashion police and all the bashing on celebrities, who wore what and what the hell they were thinking. Besides the red carpet, I'd like to see who wins the awards. I believe there was so many talented films that were released this year, my favorite out of all of them was Django. Such a great film, it was a bit sarcastic but I honestly believe that is why I loved it.

As being part of the film magnet, we should be on top of events like these and know about all the movies out there and what's hot and what's not. We should know about writers, directors, producers, and actors etc. Many viewers don't really know what's exactly behind the scene, there is so much to film., and I've learned so much about it being in film and it honestly seems like a pain in the ass.

I believe all of the nominees deserve a pat on the back, they all did an outstanding job but of course only one can win. I am curious in how does the cast celebrate ? What do they like to do to celebrate an accomplishment. I'm looking forward in watching the Oscars this Sunday, it shall be exciting.

Jessica Chastain

    Jessica Chastain stars in the new film Zero Dark Thirty, a 2012 American historical drama film directed by Kathryn Bigelow and written by Mark Boal. The film is based on one of history's greatest manhunt for the world's most dangerous man, Osama Bin Laden a leader of al-Qaeda. Zero Dark Thirty received nominations for five 85th academy awards, including best picture, best actress (Jessica Chastain) and Best Original Screenplay. Jessica at her best performance stars as a CIA analyst hunting for Osama Bin Laden.

    This article caught my attention due to all this fuss about Jessica Chastain and Jennifer Lawrence being in the race for best actress. Of course I also choose this article because I watched Zero Dark Thirty and it was a great movie, it was more than what I expected. Jessica Chastain kicked ass in the performance she gave the audience. The film was awesome honestly, it showed America's dirty laundry about our torture programs, and the great capture of Osama Bin Laden.

Writing about Jessica Chastain and the role she takes as an actress makes me actually realize that an actor has a lot to do with representing and receiving recognition for the film. As a future filmmaker, shows that you have to be able to have strong communication with your actors in order to get the performance you want from them.

I'd recommend friends and family to go watch this movie, I consider it one of the coolest educational films. Gives us an idea of how our country runs the show. I only have one question in mind, what do the men such like the soldiers and navy seals etc. feel about this movie? Do they agree with everything they put in ? Besides that, great movie.
