The Oscar nominations were announced last week, and the film creating all the buzz is The Artist, which nabbed 10 nominations. For the inaugural Best Picture award this year, there are 9 films competing — The Artist, The Descendants, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, The Help, Hugo, Midnight in Paris, Moneyball, The Tree of Life and War Horse. Today we learned of a lesser known, Australian award ceremony, that named The Artist the big winner…in the lead up to the Oscars all the various award ceremonies are important to think about, but of course don’t indicate what will happen come Oscar. Do you think the silent film will be the overall winner?

The award was handed out by the AACTA – the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts. They awarded The Artist the trophy for Best Picture, Best Director (for Michel Hazanavicius), and Best Actor (for Jean DuJardin) walking away with most of the big categories. The one they didn’t get though was Best Actress, which went to Meryl Streep for her role in The Iron Lady.

Oscar talk is picking up and most people are saying that The Artist will be the film to beat. The dark horse though could be the Martin Scorsese film, Hugo which has had no buzz, but walked away with 11 Oscar nominations… still, I guess we are all expecting the silent, black-and-white flick to take the cake… do you think they should be getting all the buzz and credit they have been, not just in the U.S, but globally?
