  Back in 1999, when Oscarwatch.com first began, the highest of priorities was to correctly predict the Oscar race.

- The Descendants Poised to Upset in Best Picture?
  20 Jan 2012
  
  There are few movies that feel like they could give The Artist some heat: Hugo and The Descendants. Perhaps, as many a Tweeter will tell you, “it’s been The Artist since Cannes.” And okay, fine. Maybe. What makes The Artist such a threat? It is loved by many, hated by …

  It was hard not to notice Robin Wright at the Critics Choice awards, striding out onto the stage with her still impossibly youthful legs, and announcing that 2011 was the Year of the Woman.

  As I re-watched Avatar last night, or tried to, I was thinking about the future of cinema. I was thinking about how hard it is to sell dramas now to the general public. I was thinking about the Academy, and how difficult it must be for them to evolve out …

- Fincher’s Dragon Tattoo: What it Feels Like for a Girl
  31 Dec 2011
  
  Men Who Hate Women. That’s what Stieg Larsson called his book, which then became The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. To know this story is to know Larsson. If you forget about him, the key to this story is lost. The story is about men who hate women and the …

  30 Dec 2011
  
  Three of the year’s strongest female performances threaten convention, the one that says females are usually cast as supporting, loving, noble characters who give of themselves in the service of the male lead.
