Yes, the two big categories have been switched up a bit, and you can scope out how Best Picture and Best Director will shake out by clicking those links. The season is well underway, so it's a great time to be debating these choices. Be sure to let us know what you think!
We also have an update to the Tracker, with a whole host of new films and performances added to the mix, so go here and check it out.

ReplyDeletesurprised Nine was kept so high in those categories after your review and the EW review
ReplyDeleteI think what we've seen as much as anything is that Nine isn't necessarily a frontrunner like we may have thought it was, it's still a major contender though...
ReplyDeleteYour predictions seem pretty strong right now - of course there's always time for a shake up, or at least I hope so- the 10 best pic situation especially.
ReplyDeleteI hope Lone get's nominated for director. I feel like Eastwood's spot is the primary one up for grabs.
I'm sure Clayton appreciates the compliment.
ReplyDeleteI don't think locker has what it takes. I think up in the air and reitman both win in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI think definite nominations for the film and Bigelow though
I think it remains to be seen, but Bigelow could definitely win for Director...
ReplyDeleteif the hurt locker wins, a movie that grossed 12 million and none of my friends or family have never even heard of, then say goodbye to the academys relevance, unfortunately...
ReplyDeleteI think you underestimate the publicity the film got around its release and still has been getting...you also are underestimating the "post nomination" re-release that will boost its box office..would it be a change of pace for the Academy? Yes, but don't count it out...
ReplyDeleteHurt Locker won't win. Bad call. At this point it should still be Up In The Air well in front. It's a feel good and that's what really pushed Slumdog in front of Button last year. Right now people want happy movies instead of bleak dramas, especially ones of war. Oscar is changing.
ReplyDeletePlus I don't think Hurt Locker appeals to audiences round the world as much as it does to American audiences and right now Oscar is very conscious of their worldly viewers. Just look at last years surprising landslide results.
The fact that The Hurt Locker isn't about war in the traditional sense, and has more in common with the type of war films Oscar used to reward means that the film will be heavily in the race, and in the end, if it's the best film in their eyes (and a smaller majority than usual is needed to win this year), it'll win...simple as that...time will tell
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling that tarantino is gonna get a director's nod...other than that I think your predictions are pretty spot on...for now of course.
ReplyDeleteI imagine the golden globe nods will either solidify or shake things up.
I guess we'll see.
Gotta love this time of year!
