Oscar Festival

It's the time of year when all the Hollywood lovers start waiting for the Academy Awards. Meanwhile here's a few Oscar winning movies that are must-watch.

So, it's the time of the year when all we can think about is who's going to win what in The Oscars. I'm sure many of you would have already bet on your favorite movies. Haven't you? Well, I'm excited too.

Meanwhile, I was researching a bit about Academy Award winning films and I came across this post on my timeline from HBO Defined. They are showing some of the amazing Academy Awards winning flicks. And the list is quite interesting. It includes movies like 'Dreamgirls', 'Memoirs of Geisha', 'Crash', 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button', 'The Fighter', 'The Social Network', 'Hugo' and 'The Iron Lady'.

Allow me to say that all these movies are an absolute must-watch. I've a few of them and I'm sure going to watch the other few very soon. Talking about the movies that I have watched, I think that would include: 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, 'The Social Network', 'Hugo' and 'The Iron Lady'.

1.

Starting with my favorite, ‘The Iron Lady’...it’s a movie about the life of the longest-serving Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of the 20th century, Margaret Thatcher. The character of Thatcher is played by the talented Meryl Streep. The movie majorly talks about Thatcher’s struggle with dementia. Throughout the movie, Thatcher looks back on the significant moments of her personal and professional life. It shows the influence that the death of her husband had on her.

The next is ‘The Social Network’. I think this one is watched by every Facebook fan. It stars Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook. And I think he completely fits the bill. It won the Best Adapted Screenplay at the 83rd Academy Awards. Completely worth it!

3.

Coming to 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'...Brad Pitt is my favourite and I think that's the reason I watched this flick. And it left me awe-inspired. Directed by David Fincher, the movie is a diary entry of Benjamin Button. The concept of ageing backwards was awesome enough to attract the Oscar... and awesome enough to make me adore it.

4.

Last but not the least ‘Hugo’...the movie is set in 1930s Paris. It talks about an orphan who lives in the walls of a train station. It’s basically based on the novel called ‘The Invention of Hugo Cabret’. The story is a mystery involved with Hugo’s father and an automaton.

These movies are really worth giving a watch. And absolutely worth winning the Academy Awards!

Coming to the three other movies i.e. 'Dreamgirls', 'Memoirs of Geisha', 'Crash' and 'The Fighter'...I've heard quite a lot about 'Memoirs of Geisha' and I am quite excited to catch it. In fact I read reviews about the other two movies too. And I'm surely gonna watch it.

Here's a big cheers to the Academy Awards!
