Johnny Depp wins Best Actor Oscar in 2011
Ray got me in the mood to write this and it may seem a silly exercise to roll the Oscar prediction dice before this year's ceremony is even out of the way, but I have a good feeling about this one. The following is as bold a prediction as you'll see any film blogger make right now, and yeah I'm doing it for a bit of fun but I will stand up to my statements if you wish to argue with me, and I'm certain there'll be others who feel this way and will support me. Maybe not right now but they'll come round eventually. Johnny Depp may very well be on the verge of his worst performance since his last misguided reinvention of a classic children's character but once Alice in Wonderland (05.03.10) which I'm seeing at an early 3-D showing on Thursday (and I will let you know if he is as bad as he looks then) is out of the way and it comes to Cannes/late Summer, a bandwagon of support will have been reached. I just know it. Here's the bold prediction. Roll-up a chair and muse over it for a while...
Johnny Depp wins Best Actor next year at the 2011 Oscars for his role in Bruce Robinson's The Rum Diary.
