Year's Best

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2007)

It is rare when a movie stays with me for longer than a week. However, in the case of Juno, almost two weeks later, it's the only movie I care to see or even discuss.
First, Ellen Page may very well be one of the greatest young actresses today. Her award buzz is greatly warranted with her star-making turn as the title character. I'll be surprised if she doesn't win the Golden Globe, and earn an Oscar nomination.
Secondly, the screenplay written by Diablo Cody is award worthy. The dialog is real, witty, and fun. I'll also be surprised if she does not win the Globe, and I feel she'll win the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
Finally, the movie itself is feel-good. I think it will win the Globe for Best Picture-Comedy or Musical, and most certainly will be nominated by the Academy for Best Picture, if not win.
As I previously stated, it's rare when a movie affects with me this greatly. Not only has it become my number 1 movie of 2007, it has become number 1 on my all-time list.
