Oscar Nominations Tuesday – Let’s Do This Thing!
(bump)
Well, folks, it’s been a long year. Actually, I can’t tell if it’s been a long year or a short one. It seems like yesterday that I was hearing the Oscar nominations that excluded The Dark Knight from the Best Picture lineup to include The Reader instead. I didn’t think the inclusion of The Reader was what was wrong, but rather the established order of things. Films get put into an Oscars box and they kind of move alone all season in a mostly unpredictable fashion. They are usually the films that have the least amount of baggage, generally speaking, or that they have one unique thing about them that pushes them through.
Put your predictions in the comments section. If you all agree to find the winner, I will award a prize. The counting part of it will be too challenging for me.
More, with my Oscar nomination predictions after the cut.
After the upset the Dark Knight’s exclusion caused, the knowledge that the Oscars were becoming, perhaps, too obscure for their own good (but making some great choices along the way) we found ourselves in the midst of a kind of Oscars renaissance not unlike the 1970s. Or at least, it has felt that way to me. So when the Academy decided to open up the Best Picture race to ten, everyone immediately thought that meant more mainstream genre films would get in to draw more viewers to the telecast and make the Oscars more relevant overall.
There was this idea that they appealed to such a small group of people they would eventually be selected out and there would either be no more Oscars on TV, or the Oscars would move to cable. And so it goes. Now, with ten, there is the opportunity to include both the films that are great from an artistic and cinematic perspective, as well as those the public liked. If all goes according to plan, there will be quite a few films represented that made more than, or close to $100 million. Which films will they choose? With the preferential ballot, it is almost impossible to say with certainty. We can only guess.
Let’s run them down, Oscar watchers. And by Tuesday morning we can all feel gutted or elated together. Remember, nobody really knows anything and there are no such things as “Oscar experts.” It is always a best guess. What we do know, though, is that Kris Tapley and Dave Karger are really good at guessing. I’d also add Anne Thompson, David Poland, Damien Bona, Erik Childress, Pete Hammond, Tom O’Neil, and on and on it goes.
I’m going to allow three alternates for Best Picture and one alternate for each of the other categories — and we’ll not include either doc shorts or live action shorts, or shorts of any kind. These can serve as tiebreakers in the event of a tie.

Long Shot: it’s just too wide open of a field with quirky rules so it’s impossible to predict this category.
So there you have it. I might change a prediction here or there, but for the most part, this is how I think it will go. Let’s see how well I do, and how well you do! Remember, don’t predict any of the shorts categories.

The fact that THE ROAD might not catch a break in the Cinematography category is pretty criminal – same for if the Leona Lewis song from Avat DOES make it into the Best Song category – it’s terrible!

Still really hoping that Anthony Mackie will pull through for supporting actor.
Also, why hasn’t there been more buzz about “You’ve Got Me Wrapped Around Your Little Finger” from An Education? Perfectly captures the mood of the film.
The Dude says:

I think you’re underrating Up’s chances. I really don’t see how one can consider An Education, Star Trek and Districk 9 safer than it is. I’d have Invictus safer than all of those as well.
Also, Nancy Meyers getting a screenplay nod was one of those things that only happen at the Globes and makes no one take them seriously.
And I also think Basterds has much more chances than Up in the Air in editing, and Tarantino is much more safe than Reitman, whose omission wouldn’t be that shocking, since he lost the BAFTA, his film is losing steam, and he was nominated two years ago.
Sasha Stone says:

Aren’t you guys going to enter your predictions? You should.
Yeah – I have just always worried that Up “had its own category” and therefore would get bumped for a live action, as has always happened in the past. But I think it gets in – I just don’t think it is as secure as you do. Not that we’ll ever know.

I agree that the I See You song is horrible.
I’ve been getting Melanie Laurent vibes lately too. I think she might just be able to worm her way in. Same with Ronan in The Lovely Bones.

Really, Sasha? Stu’s Song for best song? It was funny, but not the least bit the Academy’s cup of tea. Have they gone for a purely comedic song since “Blame Canada”? It’s much more likely that there will only be three nominees than that Stu’s Song gets in.

instead of looking what hollywood film could be nominated, things like Star Trek, the Academy should consider more foreign movies. when it comes to art White Ribbon is definitly one of th best.
There are many great filmmakers in Europe and Asia which could need an Oscar Nominaton and a worldwide recognition!

I think that Best Actors are locked and loaded the way they appeared on SAG nomination list so I cannot understand why so many people here think that Viggo Mortensen can upset and even bump out Renner of all people? No major precursor gave any attention to Mortensen and, save for expected GG snub, Renner is showing up in all other nominations. So I just don`t understand where “support” for Mortensen and “lack thereof” for Renner are supposed to come from? Renner is all the rage as is his movie and director while The Road and everyone involved seem forgotten for months now.

Cameron on Bigelow:
The Hurt Locker is a very, very strong picture. Of the contenders that are being bandied about, it’s definitely the strongest. Certainly it’s Kathryn’s moment. I’m certain she’ll get nominated and I would happily lose to her. I’ve already got one of those damn statues. I’d be pissed off if somebody else won, but I wouldn’t mind if she won.
bambi says:

Lmao @ Cameron! Pissed off if Q won? Ewwwwwwwwwwww. But either way, he is campaigning hard for K-Big. He`s a sweetie.

Love that Cameron is not even pretending there is a chance he might not get nominated. There is absolutely no chance, but this is the first time I’ve seen a potential nominee claiming as a sure fact he is going to be nominated anyway. He is certainly not doing a Kate Winslet on this one.

I am surprised people don’t think Secret of Their Eyes won’t get an Oscar nomination. I’ve only heard good things about the film and it could even win, given the weird voting patterns of the Academy.

how about if the Supp. Actress line up ends with Sigourney Weaver shocking everyone with a nom for Avatar? Goodbye, Mo’nique: overdue living legend’s comeback in the biggest blockbuster in ages, well reviewed and actually probably Oscar sweeper?
As others, not that we think Weaver is going to make the cut, but she probably has been overlooked by all of us, all the time, and Avatar’s heat may impregnate her chances.

“The Hurt Locker is a very, very strong picture. Of the contenders that are being bandied about, it’s definitely the strongest. Certainly it’s Kathryn’s moment. I’m certain she’ll get nominated and I would happily lose to her. I’ve already got one of those damn statues. I’d be pissed off if somebody else won, but I wouldn’t mind if she won.”
That’s lovely and gracious.
