The Oscars 2013 Winners And How I Did With My Prediction

The Oscars 2013 Winners have just been announced a couple of hours ago. Are you surprise with the results? Being a Chinese myself (even though I am not from Taiwan), the most touching moment is when the Best Director Winner, Lee Ang, is being announced. He thanks practically everyone involved in the film, especially those from Taiwan. And oh, he thanks "Movie God" too! ;-) 

Life Of Pi is his masterpiece with great visual awesomeness and high spiritual value.

Now, let's see how I do with my predictions done about one month ago....(my predictions are highlighted in yellow).

Enjoy...

Weekly Box Office Movies in Singapore And Malaysia (Ending 2012/12/09)

Here are the TOP 5 Movies of Singapore and Malaysia for the week ending 9th Dec 2012 (Sun).

SPECIAL NOTE : For the second week, Life Of Pi (from the famous director Ang Lee) tops the chart in Singapore and Malaysia. 

Life Of Pi (Nov 2012)

Li Of Pi, touted to be the next Avatar, because of its extravagant 3D special effect (by TIME). Directed by Lee Ang (famous director from Taiwan that brought us Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon [2000], Hulk [2003], Broke Back Mountain [2005], Lust, Caution [2007] and the more recent one Taking Woodstock [2009]).

Adapted from Yann Martel's famous fantasy adventure novel with the same name (first published in Sep 2001). Life Of Pi is a true visual treats that all fantasy fans will love to love! As quoted by the director, Ang Lee, the most challenging tasks for any director is to deal with water and animal. In this case, he need to deal with both (a real and computer graphic Bengal Tiger as well as lots of water). 

The story about how a young boy called Pi and a Bengal Tiger survived a ship disaster might seems less than impressive, but the special effects and the spiritual content are more than enough to satisfy audience from all ages. 

Weekly Box Office Movies in US (Ending 2012/11/25)

The two new releases of the week, Rise Of The Guardians and Life Of Pi (both are in 3D) did modestly at forth and fifth places.
