Mulheres e discos


De vez em quando fico com saudades de High Fidelity. Lembro-me que a Maria, de vez em quando, voltava ao Singin' in the Rain e as coisas ficavam confortáveis. Na altura, não me lembrei, mas o High Fidelity é um filme que tem esse efeito comigo. Hoje, para acabar com essas saudades, fui ver alguns excertos e descobri que esta sequência estava disponível.

Nomeações

A categoria de realização é uma surpresa completa; só dois dos nomeados coincidem com as nomeações da DGA. O número de nomeações de Amour também surpreende: só o tinha em três categorias, filme estrangeiro, actriz e argumento. Fico muito, muito contente por Amour, provavelmente o melhor filme de 2012. Lincoln e Silver Linings acabam de se colocar à frente da corrida, com a ausência de Affleck e Bigelow em realização.

Apostas?

Faltam cerca de duas horas para a Academia anunciar as nomeações para os Óscares. Este tem sido um dos anos mais estranhos e imprevisíveis de que tenho memória e eu já sigo a "corrida" desde os anos 90. Por isso, se noutros anos tenho alguma confiança nas minhas previsões, este ano não sei nada de nada e espero surpresas. Mesmo assim vou arriscar e deixar aqui as minhas apostas em apenas 6 categorias.
