| NEWSNIGHT - BBC TWO Oscars Newsnight Special: Who gets your vote? For your delectation, half an hour of pre-Oscar, post-Match of the Day II viewing in an Oscars Newsnight Special on Sunday, 22 February, 2009 at 11.30pm on BBC 2. In a special edition of Newsnight Review , Martha and I will be talking to the five directors of the films nominated in this year's best picture category. So, if you want to know whether Danny Boyle really thinks Slumdog Millionaire is the "feel good movie" of the decade, how David Fincher got Brad Pitt to age backwards in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, how Stephen Daldry responds to the charge that The Reader is "holocaust chic", why Gus Van Sant spent years trying to bring the story of Harvey Milk to the big screen, and how Ron Howard reacted to the real Frost/Nixon interviews when he was playing Richie Cunningham in Happy Days - you'd better watch! I'll reveal which film I am rooting for on Sunday night. But in the meantime, we want to know which film you think should win the Oscar and why. And while you're at it, tell us who you think deserves to win best actor or actress, best soundtrack, best make-up, and of course which best foreign language film (we're reviewing The Class on Newsnight Review tonight). If you think it's all over-hyped nonsense, I'm sure you'll tell us that too! You can see a full list of the nominations here. And you can watch the verdicts of Newsnight Review panels past on all the five nominated movies by clicking on the links below: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Frost/Nixon Milk The Reader Slum Dog Millionaire Do join the debate by leaving your comments below Kirsty |
