True Grit (2011)
Directors Ethan and Joel Coen
Now this year i've tried to make sure that i've seen all 10 of the Oscar nominees for Best Pictures and True Grit makes number 9! And for me True Grit definatly deserves it's place on the list of nomenee's. Hailee Steinfeld is the breakout star of the film not putting a foot wrong in her performance very impressive for a 15 year old making her film debut, in what should be a very promising and succesfull career. Westerns have never really appealed to me as a genre but True Grit managed to keep me not only interested but slighty hooked. Jeff Bridges (Iron Man, Tron Legacy) puts in a good performance, although nothing to show me why he recieved an Oscar the previous year and this performance earned him another nomination when there were several better performances last year but then again all i do during award season is complain so i ain't going to stop now :P If i'm honest not a film i was looking forward to but ended up enjoying and for me that is a sign of a pretty damn good film 7 out of 10
