Will There Be A Blind Side At The Next Oscars?

Tweet

If your memory serves you well, I am sure Michael Lewis's 2006 book - Blind Side which looked into the professional American football actually became a huge financial success, earning over $300 million worldwide and won a Best Actress Oscar for its star, Sandra Bullock. Looking at the trailer preview of his another book, Moneyball - which is about how Billy Beane a former Major League baseball player actually became a manager for the struggling Oakland A's and changed the definition of recruitment and concept of management. Unlike, his previous work I feel the film is much more down to earth and emotionally charged. Yet, I could not help sensing success and an Oscar nomination potential here as the film is directed by Bennett Miller, whose previous film "Capote" was nominated for five Oscars including Best Picture and Director. With another Oscar winner star Phillip Seymour Hoffman (Best Actor) appearing in "Moneyball" as the Oakland A's manager, Art Howe. Also, the screenplay is by a pair of Oscar winners: Steven Zallian, 1993's winner for "Schindler's List," and Aaron Sorkin, who took it home last year for "The Social Network." Who knows the Best Actor may just be won by Brad Pitt who is portraying the main character Billy Beane. So, watch out for it this September at your local cinemas.
