As we’re deep into the Oscars season, speculation heats about about Inglourious Basterds<\/strong><\/a>‘ chances of taking home one or more of the shiny little golden oscar statues. The Academy<\/em> has increased the number of nominees from 5 to 10, which makes things a little more complicated, and absent a blockbuster that would unanimously be considered “the thing” (think a movie along the lines of Forrest Gump<\/em>, which snatched it from Pulp Fiction<\/a> in ’95, a well made family movie, drama and epic, something oscar jurors don’t have to think twice about), the race will be mightly close.<\/p>\n

What seems to be a no-brainer is that Christoph Waltz<\/a> will probably add an Oscar<\/em> to his already impressive array of best supporting actor awards, also Germain of the Chronicle seems to think so<\/a>, even though he doesn’t award Basterds a big shot at the main trophy. Just this weekend, Basterds picked up some more nominations (10!!)\u00a0 at the Critics Choise Awards (read here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Oh and head over to MTV’s article here about<\/a> Tarantino’s reaction to Basterds success and why there won’t be anything like an extended cut on DVD. Speaking of DVD, make sure you order your Basterds DVD\/BluRay in time for christmas (click here for our last article on that<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
