True Grit

My vote for Best Picture goes to True Grit. If you have yet to see it, do yourself a favor and get to the theater. The film is clever, compassionate, full of action and breathtaking cinematography. It takes a different approach than the original film, which brought John Wayne his one and only Oscar. Jeff Bridges' interpretation of Rooster Cogburn is Oscar-worthy as well, and Hailee Steinfeld is magnificent as Mattie Ross.
