This week, the students will stop being students for a while, and forget they are in Spain, and will become members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences of Hollywood. Their task, and their resposibility, will be considerable: they will have to vote for the film which will receive the oscar for best feature film of the year. For that, you will have to focus on:
- Plot: what is the film about? Is the story appealing to the public? Is it interesting?
- The cast: who are the actors and actresses who play the main characters? Have they received any other awards? Are the well-known? How good is their performance, in your opinion?
- The director: is he a veteran or not? Have you seen any other films directed by him/her? Has he received any awards before?
- Which are the reasons why your favourite film should win?
- Any other aspects you might consider important to comment on.
